Comment:

The second, or afternoon, part of the seventh floor series. This has been in the works for a few weeks and reflects the mood of Sunday afternoons round here, when everything is especially quiet, and it doesn't feel like the week is going to start again...yet there's still that anticipation of the week ahead. So I tried to choose a combination of songs which, above all, are genuinely relaxing Sunday afternoon songs (acoustically driven, quiet vocals) but are also, for the most part, those which have a certain building-up of intensity.
