This isn't music for the radio, this is music for the heart. He should definately do a concert with an orchestra in London or so, playing some old and new songs. I would suit up and fly over immediately and I'm not a concert goer at all. This would be as epic as Portisheads live concert in Roseland in 1997.
So poetic Rob. Presenting yourself has a bulb of light. Your only presence. Simply beautiful and touching after composing this masterpiece of loneliness and depression. I know your songs for years and it comforts me coming back to them. And in this case I presented your work to my partner and she loved it as expected. You are great and important to many my dear friend ❤
stylé l'histoire que tu partage*. Suis-je donc un autre ? j'aimerais partager cette musique avec une autre que celle qui m'ai été d'épouser. Pour revivre je crois. est-ce terrible d'avouer ceci. Je l'aime alors je n'en veux plus. Alors jamais ne pourrais je jouir du bonheur ? je crois trouver mon épanouissement dans le chaos. L'incertitude. La remise en question de tout. Tout lez temps. Pour mieux justifier le chaos.
An absolutely rare occasion, when the music, including the lyrics, not just makes you enjoy it, but actually grips you tight by your whole being, making the very skin of your soul shiver from the goosebumps and it feels like "falling into a deep descent". Even though you can't really feel where your fall is leading, and frankly it does not even matter, you are grateful for the opportunity to have experienced it. Thank you, Rob.
Law and Order Criminal Intent. introduced me to Rob Dougan. The Matrix soundtrack went right over my head but not any more. one and the same and yup furious angels.
My God, i've been living the past decade with Rob Dougan's music... Never finding anything close to it or hoping i will ever hear something new... And now out of nowhere i came across that!? Is that honestly DOUGAN himself back at it again!?!?!
My years of periodically checking for updates from you feel well worth it with this song. 'Open Sore' touches that same part of the soul that 'Drinking Song', and 'Nothing At All' still do. Blissful sorrow.
+Sid Roy Thanks again, Sid. Two parts of Bliss to one part of sorrow hopefully. Thank for keeping an eye out. Hope this finds you in good - no great - form. Rob
Masterpiece. Rob Dougan, you are genius. Thank you so much for the greatest work. Your voice is the best I've ever heard. Greetings from the Czech republic, we love you here.
+VIP 1 Thanks VIP. Nick Taylor recorded voice and mixed it. Been lucky as I worked with the great Pete Craigie in the past who's a great mixer and engineer too. So important. Have a great evening. All the best, Rob.
Thanks for the info, Rob. They did brilliant work. I am so happy with the new album. Every year I hoped and now the dream has come true. And these videos from the legendary Abbey Road studios are excellent - It is the first time I see these "lights"
I am not lying when I say I listened to Furious Angels a thousand times minimum, Rob Dougan got me into listening to full albums. I cannot express how much of an impact his music had on my life. And now more masterpieces to indulge in? Couldn`t be more pleased. Thank you for your work Rob Dougan! You are a special human being. P.S. if you read this, please please please make an instrumental on these like on Furious Angels for your fans. I used it to fall asleep, study or just read a book and it`s great when I need to focus on other things while still wanting to listen to your work.
This composition puts words to and perfectly describes a condition that is buried so deeply within my own soul. I doubt I would have been able to recognize it let alone give it the poetry and grace Mr. Dougan has. I can only offer humble thanks in return for something that is well and truly this priceless. 🖤💔🤍
Rob, all your work allows me to be at me weakest and still at my strongest. That's why I Love you as one of greatest composers Father has ever created!!
Thank you, Joanne. I was unsure whether to even record the group of songs that comprised this EP. I loved them but thought no one else would. So I completely understand your weakest and strongest comment. I'm glad I did and that you heard them. Thanks again, R.
When I purchased this EP, this hit me so hard... To me, this is the most beautiful piece from this EP in my opinion. Your words and the orchestra/instrumentation blends beautifully. Rob, you're my idol. Obviously you know by now that you've changed many peoples lives with your music and I almost see you as a 'father figure' in music... You are just absolutely brilliant. I think I speak for everyone when I say, you need to release some sort of video of you in front of the camera doing a Q and A. It needs to be done, as much as you may not want to. As always, fantastic work!
+DeltiOfficial Thank you. I've got a chat about each track (currently stuck on Undone by London as it almost attempts to cover the entire history of the city and needs an edit). But will try to do. And am doing. Thank you so much for the comments. Greatly appreciated, Rob.
I am on my knees, guys. It's a rapture to have all of you on this planet and to know you exist in this lonely world. Including people writing these beautiful comments, expressing what do I feel too. Lot's of love and thanks.
Part of me feels like there's no falling if you're among the abyss, while the other wants to give you a hug. I appreciate your music and your dedication to expression, I'm not used to feeling an artist's emotion as if it's being unfolded for me, I'm used to reading it myself; Your ability to tell a story through your music makes the tears come close and the strength that comes from somewhere deep inside as lonely as it gets, even stronger - supporting a smile bright enough to hold even through the darkest of times. Thank you for resonating with me and being yourself to the fullest. If we ever lose ourselves, we can always find you through your music, as the moon lights up the night sky when there are no stars to help guide the way. Beautiful and telling.
If each person had a 'theme tune', that magically followed them around as they went about their daily business, this would probably be mine. Song of my heart.
Rob. I’ve had your LP playing almost constantly since it came out. From school to university on cd; Minidisc and MP3 player through leaving in Spain and Russia. And then Spotify for the modern era. How did I only just find you had two other EPs?! My reliance on Spotify bit me on the arse. These are beautiful tracks.
This whole session, but this piece in particular has been of great comfort to my family and I. Thank you; this was meticulously constructed and performed beautifully. 🍁
You haven't fallen, Icarous. You have so much for us below. And you will continue to make poetry of the things we all feel to be true. we need this, so do you .
Thanks Tybalt! And a big thank you to your father if you could pass that on. This is part of a forthcoming record. So hope you like it. All the very best, R.
At least with people such as Rob Dougan we are not left without incredible, beautifully composed music. I'd love to go to a concert with no headline acts, just the man himself and an orchestra
I know it is impossible, but I would love to see you touring in South America, specifically in Colombia. Dear Rob, I cannot even express how I feel when I listen to your music; it has the power of making me happy, sad, relaxed... It might vary... Thank you! I wish you a beautiful life of happiness and success for you and your relatives. Greetings from this side of the globe.
Now it is late night in my city and your music playing in my headphones again and again so what can be better than this?!Just want to say hello to an old friend Rob from starry Yerevan's night,and really hope that you are doing very well!Thank u for what you are doing once again dear "old" friend...
+Vahram Kushchiyan Vakram, wishing you all my best from here in darkened London to you in nighttime Yerevan with its wonderful mountain looming over above you unseen tonight. Have a good evening and wish you all the very best, Rob.
Rob Dougan Official no problem Rob jan my name is difficult even for us armenians so that s ok)))and thank u for another kind reply,it is always a great pleasure when u reply!
+iseed3adpe0ple Thanks! Think you hit the nail on the head: there are no stupid walks. Thank you so much for getting the EP. Have a great week. All the best, Rob.
These live session recordings are nothing short of true Art. The camera angles, the raw decor and backdrop, the non glamorized musicians... this is music & art perfectly captured from the lens of the performers! These "short films" are beauty in motion. (there are some instances where the filming is not in sync with the timing of sound/playing).
Wow! That was just beautiful and quite touching, very reminiscent of Nothing At All. I was having an awful day but this flipped that right on its head. :)
A friend that saved my life last year was diagnosed with MS today. For some reason this came to mind. I don't know why... something about life not being fair.
There are two voices of you maybe a representation of logic and emotions in this song. The one i will call as logic starts at the beginning. Explains all of the things inside, simple and with a gracious way. "Just one flaw, my heart is like an open sore". But when you fall into a deep abyss, you can't stop it. Now there is that emotional voice behind, an expression of pure emotions. The saviour that you very call, that eyes.. maybe for love maybe truth itself who knows. "Nothing can save me, save me from myself" because at the end what is left behind are only feelings, like the timbre in your voice. Unparalleled, timeless.
This song is killing me! It's beautifully tragic and I just can't stop listening to it, over and over. Been following you since Furious Angels, which I consider a timeless masterpiece from beginning to end, and I love all the new songs. Thank you Rob for creating this majestic, melancholic and captivating universe. Looking forward to hearing what you will come up with next!
Dear Rob, I would like to thank you so much for what you are doing. Your music and words make me feel happy, sad, crying and smile, feel beauty and tragedy, this is my definition of true masterpiece, even when my lovely wife sometimes can't stand of her feeling about too much emotions. Your touch with audience makes your music even more personal and intimate for people. Hope to meet you one day (or even hear your music live) and say thank you personally. Thanks.
If you ever do an orchestra tour, make sure California (Bay Area) is included along the trip please because I'll make reservations for my family. Symphony Silicon Valley/Opera San Jose would be a great venue for example, not crowded as San Francisco, large streets, plenty of parking and access to freeway/motels. Thanks for the good vibes, can't wait to see you perform with the orchestra, it would be a great experience for our generation. There's a lot of billboards across our freeways too, I'm sure the ep design cover would look hella cool on them
If you do 2018, it gives more time for preparation because fans would want to see you cover some of your earlier work too. But maybe you tour 2017 doing just the ep, then do another tour in 2018 but include and perform prior recordings w/ the ep. If you tour during the month leading up to Christmas every town would be in the Holiday Spirit. Either way, yeah it would be wonderful. All strength to you, we don't want to exhaust you and the team
It's the kind of music... The kind of art that helps you get lost to be found! Helps to get to know yourself! Helps you to just stare and think! Appreciate little things around! That's beautiful! Thanks for what you make us feel! Thanks you for what you make me feel dear Rob!
I don’t know more beautiful thing in the world than seeing a revelation of a heart of one beautiful man. Your music, your majestic voice touch the innermost corners of me. In your music I feel I am alive. ෆ
You know, I maybe told you tha same in another comment for another song, but your music is part of my life, it kept going on a very rough patch of it, keeps me going now and it will be as long as I walk this beautiful earth!!!Thank you for such amazing artistry you have shared with all of us!!!
I am a Muslim. Music is hated in my religion. But in fact, not even a sound above the surface of the earth, #after the (Qur’an and the call to prayer), affected me more than creativity and art by rob dougan
I think I speak for many here when I say your music has inspired me so much in life. I even have the manuscript of furious angels as part of my sleeve tattoo (I tweeted you a picture once). When times are hard and need to reflect just listen to anything by you and it's enough to get me up and attacking the world again. Thanks Rob
i am so happy that you started to make music again after such long time - it was well worth waiting - this song is on repeat for the last few days! hope you're doing fine... all the best, Krešimir
Comme c'est beau, pur, vrai ❤, une telle authenticité dans votre voix. Magique, presque irréel et pourtant..... Merci Rob pour toute cette beauté poétique.
Oh por dios mi corazon se rompio pero al mismo tiempo fue tan bello sentir como se destrozaba, que buen acompapamiento para esto! Wow, de verdad como es que no habia visto más de el arte de este señor??? ❤❤❤ Que letras que melodias, que arrglos es super wow! Estoy gratamente feliz en un limbo que me tuene nostalgica pero como si oliera tierra mojada! Triste pero comoda y fascinada a la vez!
Thanks Rob for your music. You are one of my favourite singers/composers and the reason being your depth of music. I hope we will be hearing more compositions from you. Best, Bilal.
+David Kalbo Thank you, David. I had enough to do that day with being in a video. And it was so important (at least to me) just to get the recording right. Say a prayer for me in the Iglesia de San Francisco if you want or get a chance. Sending all my best wishes, Rob.
I always loved the wordplay in this piece and how the lines repeated in the outro, embodying a fall, are paradoxically accompanied by the ascending melody, along with your voice gradually sounding like a desperate mayday call. It all works so illustratively, yet still on a metaphorical level - probably the most among all pieces on Misc. Sessions - to the point that my animator's mind just throws ready shots at me. I'm always and patiently looking forward to hearing what other scenarios you've got up your sleeve (and poetry or reading recommendations too!).
Your music has defined all the best romantic relationships of my life and at times helps me 'feel' again.This new material brought back memories.I think I'm ready to make new ones again.Thank you Rob.
In my opinion, this is your best piece on your ep. Maybe even the best song you've ever made. My heart breaks with every listen but I can't help listening to it again and again. Thanks Rob for your work.
+Sébastien Massin thank you, Sebastian. No heart breaking though. This is supposed to be heart fixing. But I know what you mean. Do have a look at the poem on the same subject in the description. Thank you so much S for listening and for the message. Greatly appreciated, and wishing you all the best, Rob.
This isn't music for the radio, this is music for the heart. He should definately do a concert with an orchestra in London or so, playing some old and new songs. I would suit up and fly over immediately and I'm not a concert goer at all. This would be as epic as Portisheads live concert in Roseland in 1997.
Agree.
Totally
Please come to London!
Absolutely
C'mon Rob, one for the fans?

one and the same and yup furious angels.
It's quite depressing, but it's one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. I've sunk into that abyss.
It’s a song about vulnerability and fragility and we’re never more vulnerable than when we’re in love
With you here. Hard to remember that we're not alone, sometimes..
This song makes me cry almost every time I listen to it. Just can't get used to it.
My God, i've been living the past decade with Rob Dougan's music... Never finding anything close to it or hoping i will ever hear something new... And now out of nowhere i came across that!? Is that honestly DOUGAN himself back at it again!?!?!
How you haven't composed a James Bond theme is utterly beyond me. Awesome music.
My years of periodically checking for updates from you feel well worth it with this song. 'Open Sore' touches that same part of the soul that 'Drinking Song', and 'Nothing At All' still do. Blissful sorrow.

My God, what a beautiful song. I can't stop hitting the replay button.
Rest in peace Mom, Pop and Bobby. oh and so many others.
I am not lying when I say I listened to Furious Angels a thousand times minimum,
Rob Dougan got me into listening to full albums. I cannot express how much of an impact his music had on my life. And now more masterpieces to indulge in? Couldn`t be more pleased.

So I completely understand your weakest and strongest comment. I'm glad I did and that you heard them.
Thanks again, R.
2am self-reflection... goes with The The, A Winged Victory for the Sullen, Einaudi, Olafur Arnalds, Paul Buchanan... beautiful.
Thank you for back Rob.We live in same century and I feel lucky

it's pretty amusing that we've seen you as only a flashing bulb for a long while now
+Aaron Yes, Aaron! That's the new guise. What a transformation. Hope to be back in human form some time soon. (But not flashing). All the best. Rob.
Is the hand playing the piano in a couple of vids not you?
+TheDonBarracuda You got
Me. All hands seem playing piano are me. Good spotting.
Rob Dougan Official .
Appreciated and shared to many who need to appreciate beauty and heart on such a sorrowful day.
Beautiful. So happy you're making music again.
I am literally weeping. But thank you thank you. I wish I could meet you
If each person had a 'theme tune', that magically followed them around as they went about their daily business, this would probably be mine. Song of my heart.
Rob. I’ve had your LP playing almost constantly since it came out. From school to university on cd; Minidisc and MP3 player through leaving in Spain and Russia. And then Spotify for the modern era. How did I only just find you had two other EPs?!

Dear Rob Dougan, I need all this tracks in Spotify, specially ´the Return´ that one gave me courage to reestart my life last year.
mar131986 wishing you all the best, xr.
This whole session, but this piece in particular has been of great comfort to my family and I. Thank you; this was meticulously constructed and performed beautifully. 🍁
My man! *Insta-buy.* Thank you Rob for all the music you release, we love to hear it and show our support. I will never stop bumping Furious Angels
This guy !
Rob Dougan !
Hey thankyou .
You haven't fallen, Icarous. You have so much for us below. And you will continue to make poetry of the things we all feel to be true. we need this, so do you .
One of the most exquisite compositions that strikes your heart straight away. ♥️
My favorite of the "new" tracks from Rob. Thank you for sharing your work with us. ^_^
My father got me into your music at a young age, and I've grown up with your music ever since. There's nothing else like you and your work
Thanks Tybalt! And a big thank you to your father if you could pass that on. This is part of a forthcoming record. So hope you like it. All the very best, R.
@@RobDouganOfficial Will do!
On repeat for the last half hour. Amazing piece!
Great Track, I know you never truly left, but its great to have you back !
Open Sore is my favourite title of all time! Absolutely exemplary!
A superb masterpiece!
At least with people such as Rob Dougan we are not left without incredible, beautifully composed music. I'd love to go to a concert with no headline acts, just the man himself and an orchestra
I’m crying...
I love all of your work. This is another masterpiece in your illustrious repertoire. Please make music forever.
+David Garvin Thanks, David. That's a lovely thought. Wishing you all the best, Rob.
It's surreal to hear your voice again. Thank you for coming back.
You inspire as usual Rob. Don't ever stop to making us think, feel and admire. Peace, love and respect.
I know it is impossible, but I would love to see you touring in South America, specifically in Colombia.
Dear Rob, I cannot even express how I feel when I listen to your music; it has the power of making me happy, sad, relaxed... It might vary...
Thank you! I wish you a beautiful life of happiness and success for you and your relatives.
Greetings from this side of the globe.
Fernando Rodriguez
I double (second to) that, sending all my greetings and love from Brazil.
Now it is late night in my city and your music playing in my headphones again and again so what can be better than this?!Just want to say hello to an old friend Rob from starry Yerevan's night,and really hope that you are doing very well!Thank u for what you are doing once again dear "old" friend...
+Vahram Kushchiyan Vakram, wishing you all my best from here in darkened London to you in nighttime Yerevan with its wonderful mountain looming over above you unseen tonight. Have a good evening and wish you all the very best, Rob.
+Rob Dougan Official Sorry about the typo, Vahram. Typed too fast.
Rob Dougan Official no problem Rob jan my name is difficult even for us armenians so that s ok)))and thank u for another kind reply,it is always a great pleasure when u reply!
I had given up ever hearing new music from you again. Glad to have you back Rob Dougan.
So beautiful. Loved hearing you speak about "She's Leaving." Can't wait to hear what you come up with next!
All the best,
Erin
+bluelblock Thank you, Erin, once again. They take a bit of time to put together. Can't wait to do it. All the best, Rob.
Hi Rob, Thanks for uploading this! I bought EP nearly a month ago. Your music makes every stupid walk a beautiful jurney. Take care!
+iseed3adpe0ple Thanks! Think you hit the nail on the head: there are no stupid walks. Thank you so much for getting the EP. Have a great week. All the best, Rob.
Thank you, have a lovely week! Mine will be great - I just have to wear headphones and enjoy your work. Take care!
On peut parler de génie, chaque note est un spectacle.... Enfin pour moi !Tu viens quand tu le désire en Corse, mon ami....
Music for the heart, made from the heart! Thank you for your creativity
These live session recordings are nothing short of true Art.
The camera angles, the raw decor and backdrop, the non glamorized musicians... this is music & art perfectly captured from the lens of the performers!
These "short films" are beauty in motion.

This song is killing me! It's beautifully tragic and I just can't stop listening to it, over and over. Been following you since Furious Angels, which I consider a timeless masterpiece from beginning to end, and I love all the new songs. Thank you Rob for creating this majestic, melancholic and captivating universe. Looking forward to hearing what you will come up with next!
Beautiful..
Perfect trip-hop is back! Bravo!
+Vyacheslav Tyufanov Thanks! The beat's pretty simple. My aim with it was Ringo Star on a lazy day. All the best, Rob.
Dear Rob, I would like to thank you so much for what you are doing. Your music and words make me feel happy, sad, crying and smile, feel beauty and tragedy, this is my definition of true masterpiece, even when my lovely wife sometimes can't stand of her feeling about too much emotions. Your touch with audience makes your music even more personal and intimate for people. Hope to meet you one day (or even hear your music live) and say thank you personally.
Thanks.

Probably the most beuatiful and evocative song I've ever heard, I want this played as I go to my grave.
I don’t know more beautiful thing in the world than seeing a revelation of a heart of one beautiful man.
Your music, your majestic voice touch the innermost corners of me.
In your music I feel I am alive. ෆ
So brilliant! Thanks you, Rob. Look forward to new masterpices :)
Wish you all the best in your life and work.
Your fans from Urkaine.

This song is just so beautiful
Absolute genius, amazing!
Yes... yes... YES!! And a thousand times yes!
i am so happy that you started to make music again after such long time - it was well worth waiting - this song is on repeat for the last few days! hope you're doing fine... all the best, Krešimir
Comme c'est beau, pur, vrai ❤, une telle authenticité dans votre voix. Magique, presque irréel et pourtant..... Merci Rob pour toute cette beauté poétique.
Jesus Christ. Your music continues to baffle my mind and soul. Are these Abby tracks on an album? Then"return" is amazing. I want more!
Thank you Rob, this was stuck in my head for days on end to the point that I would wake in the night still hearing it. Blissful misery.
Amazing! For so long I have been waiting for you Rob! So glad my friend...Never stop!
i discovered Rob Dougan on Pandora by accident years ago and have loved everything of his I have heard since...
Want to thank you from the bommon of my heart in making this public Rob x "dreams are like fireflyes"
Oh por dios mi corazon se rompio pero al mismo tiempo fue tan bello sentir como se destrozaba, que buen acompapamiento para esto! Wow, de verdad como es que no habia visto más de el arte de este señor??? ❤❤❤ Que letras que melodias, que arrglos es super wow! Estoy gratamente feliz en un limbo que me tuene nostalgica pero como si oliera tierra mojada! Triste pero comoda y fascinada a la vez!
As always: Perfect
+Patryk Bartosik Hi Patryk. Thank you. Gave a great evening, Rob.
Thanks Rob for your music. You are one of my favourite singers/composers and the reason being your depth of music. I hope we will be hearing more compositions from you. Best, Bilal.
am really amazed, this is a good example how a person's talent can bring joy to someone's life, real transformation!
I litterally cannot believe how talented one single person can be. We need more of your voice as well.
I really miss see you on the screen but your voice is enough. hugs from bogota colombia robert
+David Kalbo Thank you, David. I had enough to do that day with being in a video. And it was so important (at least to me) just to get the recording right. Say a prayer for me in the Iglesia de San Francisco if you want or get a chance. Sending all my best wishes, Rob.
How beautiful your lyrics and delivery are. And the visual side of your work has always been lovely - can we look forward to new artworks?
+Ky Long thank you, Ky. And thank you for getting the record. I hope so. Not a patch on yours though. All the best, Rob
That's a sweet thing to say, thank you. Happy to buy the EPs, can't wait to buy the full album. xx
Beautiful work Rob!
Your music is my inspiration.
Many thanks,
A budding composer in Western Australia.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for also making me still strive to be a musician, Rob.
All of my love, from a big fan in Brazil.
This is so beautiful. So much feeling. Like all your music. Thank you so much.
Holy cow.. classic. Thank you . So much soul and pure beauty. Another song I can listen to a million times and be in love with it..
I always loved the wordplay in this piece and how the lines repeated in the outro, embodying a fall, are paradoxically accompanied by the ascending melody, along with your voice gradually sounding like a desperate mayday call.
It all works so illustratively, yet still on a metaphorical level - probably the most among all pieces on Misc. Sessions - to the point that my animator's mind just throws ready shots at me. I'm always and patiently looking forward to hearing what other scenarios you've got up your sleeve (and poetry or reading recommendations too!).
Your music has defined all the best romantic relationships of my life and at times helps me 'feel' again.This new material brought back memories.I think I'm ready to make new ones again.Thank you Rob.
In my opinion, this is your best piece on your ep. Maybe even the best song you've ever made. My heart breaks with every listen but I can't help listening to it again and again. Thanks Rob for your work.
+Sébastien Massin thank you, Sebastian. No heart breaking though. This is supposed to be heart fixing. But I know what you mean. Do have a look at the poem on the same subject in the description. Thank you so much S for listening and for the message. Greatly appreciated, and wishing you all the best, Rob.
I simply adore the lady with the glasses....a beautiful piece....
I don´t get tired of listening this song, and it´s musical part, over and over again... Thank you Rob.
Amazing Rob!! Been on the lookout for new material from you. Good stuff man. I can really relate to the lyrics.
mellow. reassuring. uplifting. contemplative. just superb, Rob. amazing stuff.
+Cyrus Medora Thank you, Cyrus! Have a great evening, Rob.
Raw emotion I've come to expect from Rob Dougan, I love it.
Beautiful. Stunning. Moving. Thank you.
oh man! just saw that this exists and bought it instantly! More things from you please!
God talks to me through your music, thank you.
Thank you...I needed that.
