Everything Unsaid

All This Talk

John Saich lives and writes in Scotland; has done for many years, having been a one-time bass player with Celtic pioneers Capercaillie, then a tv composer and a producer for unsigned artists. John wants to make words count, to convey a feeling, a reflection of something half remembered, a passing moment that captured the heart and the imagination. His songs are postcards from places in memory, some based on experience, others drawn from what might have been or never was. Much of that comes from the urban realms of snowy tenement streets, half-lit cafes, late night train stations where lives and loves intertwine, or miss each other completely. Not sad, not regretful. Not really. 
John’s style is influenced, consciously or otherwise, by the 1980s – or at least a version of it that includes Scritti Politti, The Blue Nile, Deacon Blue, Talk Talk, Kate Bush, Prefab Sprout and others.
