Rob’s music is that noise inside your head when you see balloons set free and heading into space, a couple hand in hand – lost in each other’s minds, when he leaves her, when she wakes up, somewhere totally foreign and familiar and comforting at the same time, when you finally see a baby pigeon, and when you catch yourself smiling in the mirror.
Rob's first music video!
Now, normally music videos have folk singing along to a backing track, but when the song only has vocals, why not just sing it live... in a forest? That'll never work...
“Wonderful set from someone who will go far... you MUST hear Rob’s immense recording at www.myspace.com/robsproulcran”
"Some things last longer than skin. Than scar tissue. Than the dull, beating ache in your heart that will never die down. Quietly breathtaking." - Out Of The Bedroom Reviews
