One in a million
One in a million was written in the 1990s, in 1996 to be precise. It's a love song that has kind of evolved, starting out as something you recognise in someone that makes you want to be with them, and thirty years later, yes that's right, thirty years later you still recognise that something having spent the best years of your life with them.

Al Pal
Al pal is a song about fatherhood, and particularly becoming a father for the first time. It is dedicated to Alex, Phil's son, who was born in 2001.

It refers to two related but distinct concepts concerning the explicit name of God. In Hebrew it is the four-letter Tetragrammaton YHWH (pronounced Yahweh) meaning the holy name of God in Judaism.

We have lift off !

Commencing countdown....
