It doesn't take much convincing; by song three, he's already "Born Again." Halfway through Have You Fed the Fish?--Badly Drawn Boy's second soundtrack of the year; call this one About a Badly Drawn Boy--Gough puts it all in perspective: "I remember doing nothing on the night Sinatra died/And the night Jeff Buckley died/And the night Kurt Cobain died/And the night John Lennon died," he explains on "You Were Right." "I remember I stayed up to watch the news with everyone." And though he considers himself a fan of those singers and songwriters, not someone who should be included in their company, the songs on Have You Fed the Fish? beg to differ. The five-minute "How?" is a pocket symphony by itself, jumping from feel-bad folk to hip-shaking horns to here's-where-the-strings-come-in grandeur and back again, and "Have You Fed the Fish?" is an unlikely anthem, with a chorus that gives your heart a hug. "Don't want to be obvious," he sings later in the song. Still not a problem.
