The Daily Planet

Track six of the album, built on woodwinds, brushed jazz drumming and Mark Feltham's harmonica.
Mark Hollis, from Mark Hollis (1998)

Hollis and Warne Livesey wrote it. MusicBrainz lists it at 7:20 and Wikipedia at 7:19, and it was never a single. Progarchy hears woodwinds, jazz drumming that builds, guitar and bass, with Mark Feltham's harmonica in the middle, and compares it to "Ascension Day" from Laughing Stock, only slower; it reads the lyrics as about lies, pain and deception and the curse of Adam, a critic's interpretation rather than Hollis's. We found no statement from him, no chart, video, cover or sample, and no live history. Our upload is likely the album version.
