Access here: ‘Some Days I Drink My Coffee By The Grave Of William Blake’ is the 3rd single from Ensoulment, THE THE’s first studio album in a quarter century. It is a song Matt Johnson had been trying to write for many years but never managed to finish – until last year. It belongs to the family of songs he has written about London, including ‘Perfect’, ‘Flesh & Bones’, ‘Heartland’, ‘The Beat(en) Generation’, ‘Helpline Operator’, ‘Pillar Box Red’ and others. The song is co-produced by Matt Johnson and Warne Livesey and features Matt Johnson on vocals and acoustic guitar; Barrie Cadogan on electric guitar and backing vocals; DC Collard on keyboards; James Eller on bass; Earl Harvin on drums; Sonya Cullingford on fiddle; Gillian Glover on backing vocals. “I have often drunk my coffee by the grave of William Blake – though these days there are actually two gravestones dedicated to him in the small dissenters’ cemetery that he was thrown into when he died. On and off over the last 40 years I have lived close by and have always found it an inspiring place to sit and meditate upon life. Nostalgia is part of the human condition and change is inevitable in our lives and in the world around us. Large capital cities such as London often amplify the sense of change, although one thing that never seems to change is the cynicism of those in power”– Matt Johnson The new music video for ‘Some Days I Drink My Coffee By The Grave Of William Blake’ was made in conjunction with long-time collaborators: directed by Tim Pope with editing by Vicki Bennett (People Like Us). Anya Krasnikova was the Director of Photography.
