I remember seeing the band live and the full band version of this was amazing!. I can imagine the house lights down and this stripped back version playing...I bet there'd be a hush over the audience!. The Blue Nile are like a religious experience...that's how we view them up here in Scotland...something that always stays with you.
Paul Buchanan's voice just rivets me to the spot. Always such amazing power in such a restrained style. The guy is unique and pretty special. Long may he entertain us!
Stunningly beautiful version of a stunningly beautiful song. Buchanan's voice guides this intimate, acoustic rendition with such subtle grace. Imagine being able to sit in a room with him, his guitar and hear him just play, sing and bring you into the world of the Blue Nile.
I've been a Blue Nile Fan for Three Years Now and It awes me that I still find recordings and music that is new to me. Now when is there going a Whole Album?
You'd look in the bittorrents for the title, artist (try Paul Buchanan) + acoustic KCRW Radio Live track. It may take persistance. Or you could go to CNET Downloads for the program to record from RUclips, and take this track.
... I am in love, I am in love with you I am in love, I am in love with you The traffic lights are changing The black and white horizon I leave the quiet redstone And walk across the rooftops ...

30th September 2004. They also did an acoustic session on KEXP Seattle in the same year which is streamable from their website.
Just.....Amazingly beautiful.
Thank you for posting this. This is such a special song, and hearing an acoustic version of it just makes it that much more moving.
Oh Dear... I am crying... It is so beautiful this version.
Beyond words. The essence of beauty.
'..Incommunicado...' mebbes 01.25 in.
One word. One piece of epic brilliance.
Brilliant version of this track..

Does anyone know where you can download this session? Not as a full show, as an album sort of format.
Great unplugged version - when does it date from?
Oh man......

I am in love, I am in love with you
I am in love, I am in love with you
The traffic lights are changing
The black and white horizon
I leave the quiet redstone
And walk across the rooftops
