Episode 1

Welcome to the best of The Quay Sessions.

I'm Edith Bowman and you join me by the River Clyde, in Glasgow,

where my weekly BBC Radio Scotland show is recorded

in front of an audience of music fans.

Coming up, we have live music from Will Young,

Rachel Sermanni,

Public Service Broadcasting,

new Glasgow band, White,

The Cadbury Sisters.

But first, the delectable Jack Savoretti.

# Hey!

# Hmm-hm-hm-hm

# There's a rising on the streets tonight

# Every woman, man and child

# Through the struggle we will all unite

# Watch the city running wild

# We've been lied to by the liars

# We've been sold what we can buy

# In our hearts there's a fire, yeah

# You can see it in our eyes

# We are the revolution

# We want it all tonight

# We want to take back what's rightfully ours

# We are the revolution

# We want to stand and fight

# Fight with our life

# Written in scars, yes

# Written in scars

# There's a riot on the streets tonight

# There's a reason for the cause

# It's up to us to remember, yes

# All the world coming forth

# But I'll be taken by the taker

# A fate that awaits us all

# Whoo-ho-oo

# Till the day we meet our maker

# We won't be stopped by any wars

# We are the revolution

# We want it all tonight

# We want to take back what's rightfully ours

# We are the revolution

# We want to stand and fight

# Map of our lives

# Written in scars, yes

# Written in scars

# Oh

# Yeah

# Whooo-wh-oh

# Whoo-oo-oo-oh

# No, no, no, no

# Whoo-oo-oo, yeah

# No, no, no, no

# No, no, no, no

# Hey!

# We are the revolution

# We want it all tonight

# We want to take back what's rightfully ours

# We are the revolution

# We want to stand and fight

# Map of our lives

# Written in scars, yes

# Written in scars

# We are the revolution

# We are the revolution

# We are the revolution

# Oh, yes

# We are the revolution. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thank you very much.

EDITH: Now, as well as names you may well already be familiar with,

one thing about this show is that we get to put the spotlight

on new talent.

Like Rachel Sermanni, who we recorded back in the summer

just as the sun was setting across the River Clyde.

# I have made a mess, I know there's nothing you can throw

# Last night I was one shadow trying to kill another

# Truth is that the wind will blow

# And there's nothing we can do

# It's blowing me away from here

# And away from you

# I have dug a great big hole

# I'm dangling my feet

# Last night I lost my soul trying to lose another

# Truth is that the wine will pour and the wisdom will ensue

# The red river flows away from here

# And away from you

# I'm on my way down

# I'm on my way down

# I'm on my way down

# I'm on my way down

# Follow me if you want

# Follow me if you want to

# One wants to see a doctor

# Two lies on the street

# Three cannot go home

# Four cannot begin

# Five cannot eat

# Six has trouble sleeping

# Seven has a hard time waking

# Eight hates

# Nine is fine

# And ten won't survive Ten won't survive

# I have made a move too soon

# I'm falling through thin air

# Last night I saw the moon

# I called her Mother

# Truth is everyday must end with the setting of the sun

# This is where I choose to dance

# Where I choose to run

# I'm on my way down

# I'm on my way down

# I'm on my way down

# I'm on my way down

# Oo-oo-oo-oo-oh

# Follow me if you want

# Follow me if you want to

# Follow me if you want

# Follow me if you want to

# Follow me if you want

# Follow me if you want to

# Follow me if you want

# Follow me if you want to. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

ELECTRONIC RECORDING: 'It's great to be here at...

'..The Quay Sessions.'

CHEERING

'This is a song about a plane.'

RECORDING OF PLANE FLYING OVERHEAD

'The birds fly a lot better than we do.

'See how they wheel and bank and fly...perfect.

'And all in one -

'wings, body, tail, all in one.

'Some day I'm going to build a plane just like a bird.

'It isn't exactly a bird I'm creating, is it?

'At least a curious odd bird.

'A bird that breathes fire and spits out death and destruction.

'A spitfire bird.

'A spitfire bird.

'Faster, always faster.

'What a strange-looking machine.

'Can't see a spit in the air without getting a kick out of it.

'Why, it is like a bird.

'A spitfire bird.

'A spitfire bird.

'It's tiring always stretching out for something

'that's just out of reach.

'But I'll get it.

'After all, what I want isn't as easy as all that.

'It's got to do 400mph,

'turn on a sixpence,

'climb 10,000ft in a few minutes,

'dive at 500 without the wings coming off,

'carry eight machine guns.

'Hello, Hunter Leader, Hunter Leader.

'Bandits approaching Beachy from Southeast Angels one-five, over.

'Bandits are now about three to four miles south of Beachy.

'You should see them any minute they are now south of you.

'Hello, Hunter Leader, Hunter Leader.

'Flight plan control calling, can you see them? Can you see them?

'A spitfire bird.

'A spitfire bird.'

What can you tell us about the live show, the tour that's coming up?

Because you've got six albums to choose from.

It's going to be a really cool thing at the beginning.

I actually, literally, was having a Skype meeting

with the lighting director.

-Wow.

-I know.

-Technical stuff.

-I know.

I don't know anything about lighting.

You don't actually turn up physically to meetings any more,

-you only do them by Skype.

-Well, he was in America, so it was hard.

-OK.

I don't want... I want to be here.

And... Yeah, it's going to be very cool.

-OK.

-It's going to be...

The beginning is going to be like a finale.

Ohh. I liked that little ripple through the crowd there. "Ohh."

God, I hope it's good.

It's me eating a pork pie for three minutes.

LAUGHTER

-It's an installation piece.

-THEY BOTH LAUGH

I call it Love Of Pork Pies.

Imagine that.

Right, you're going to play a few more tracks for us.

-We've got something new...

-I've got to, otherwise...

..something old

and we've got something borrowed as well, haven't we?

-Something new...

-LAUGHTER

Something new, something old and something borrowed.

Yeah, but we need something blue.

-The lights, the lights are blue.

-Oh, let's get married.

-Already married, babe. Sorry. Next time.

-All right. Well, I'm gay so...

LAUGHTER

Oh, I love you.

-Thank you for coming up here.

-Thank you.

Thank you for being here, it's brilliant.

And the album, 85% Proof, is just wonderful.

-Thank you.

-It really, really is.

-And it's great to have you back. It really is.

-It's good to be back.

Please make him feel welcome.

Give a huge round of applause, the wonderful Will Young. Thank you.

# My hands are in the air and I'm running as fast as I can

# I knew this day would come and we would be free

# Come on, hold hands let's stick together

# Take a big leap and jump right over

# We'll feel joy

# We'll feel joy

# Ohh, yeah

# Doesn't really matter we've got everything we need

# Take a big leap and we will feel joy

# When the wave hits

# There is nothing that we're going to do

# Stars that don't shine

# It's the dregs they left behind

# Cuts that don't bleed

# Makes a virtue of a crime

# Breaking for two

# Seeing red and turning blue

# Take what they want

# If they think it gets them through

# I want to take a look at your private lives

# Behind your eyes

# Nothing left to leave in the public eye

# It's classified

# Never chosen, never called

# No vision, no

# Show me who you kiss

# Show me bliss

# Come on!

# Come on!

# Only one day

# It's the love that got away

# Fail to betray

# Now it's in your DNA

# According to what you want

# Got to take what you need

# Public eyes on private lives

# We lead

# I want to take a look at your private lives

# Behind your eyes

# Nothing left to leave in the public eye

# It's classified

# Never chosen, never called

# No vision, no

# Show me who you kiss

# Show me bliss

# Come on!

# Come on!

# Give me some

# Oh, these public eyes

# On private lives

# We lead

# Arrrrrh!

# Public eyes

# You can't get enough tonight

# Those public eyes

# You can't get enough to hide

# Those private lives. #
