I Like Books by Steve Roberts

A song from my Arts Council Supported Project The Life of Books. Songs that explore our relationship with books.
Kids come into George Street Community Bookshop where I am manager and love going through the place - they take ridiculously happy pleasure in rummaging through the books and I wanted this song to reflect that.
Once again Craig Edmondson produced and he also put together this video from some paintings I did. He's just boss. Shout out to Richard Snow Hatterseley for 12 string geetar playing.
I'm pretty certain the lyric was inspired by a poem I read a couple of years ago by a Canadian Poet about why 10 year olds like books but I've googled and can't find anything. If you know, please get in touch.
This song is about how as a child you can go anywhere or be anybody when you read a book.
Written by Steve Roberts. Played by Steve and Craig Edmondson. Produced by Craig. Paintings by Steve, Video by Craig
