It's literally like an anxiety dream, that's what I would have, but real.

Actually, that particular night, I had this... For some peculiar reason, I thought it would be a good idea to get someone to come in to do one of those... What do they call it?

Reiki things?

Oh, yeah.

I'd never done it before in my life.

Good choice.

So there I am, after going through this terrible experience, this person doing this, and I have a complete out-of-body experience, like a flat-out out-of-body...

above myself going well that's not good at all not only have i just let down all these people now i'm not inside my body this is really not going very well oh tom let's gather ourselves time for the next track tell us about this one

Speaking of golden voices.

Yeah, go on.

Stay with it.

Commit.

I'm vying for a job on Radio 6.

6 Music.

Scott Walker, one of my heroes.

This song because it's a desert island, right?

And it's going to rain.

It's in a sort of tropical style-y.

And I was thinking, I'll put it on when it rains and I'll listen to this lovely love story, remind myself of what it feels like to be on a train, see someone in the distance, that whole romance thing, sort of something from a film.

It's such a sort of beautifully whimsical piece, but weirdly so profound musically.
