Gullivers People - Somehow, Somewhere

Gullivers People - Somehow, Somewhere (A.Keen/J.Wilkins) Columbia DB 8588 A - 1969

Esta canción me pilló desprevenido. La pinché un par de veces y me enganchó. Refrescante y en colores a cuadros, transmite una jovialidad que casi da vergüenza. El órgano que responde a cada estrofa fué el elemento definitivo. Además, a pesar de no ser nada complicado, no puedo imaginar a nadie actualmente haciendo una canción con este rítmo precísamente. Esclavitudes de las épocas. Adjudicada.

"Somehow, Somewhere" fué el cuarto y último single de Gullivers People, un sexteto de Londres que apenas actuó nunca fuera de la ciudad, pero que fueron el grupo residente del legendario Tiffany's durante un buen número de años. Con un sonido muy cercano al llamado "sunshine pop", publicaron tan sólo cuatro singles entre 1966 y 1969. A single por año. Con el inefable Norman Smith en los controles, casi parece verano.

This song caught me unprepared. I played it a couple of times and got hooked. Refreshing and in squared colours, it transmits an almost shameful cheerfulness. The organ answering each verse was the definitive element. Also, in spite of not being complicated at all, I just cannot imagine anyone nowadays making a song with exactly this rhythm. Slaveries of the times. Awarded.

"Somehow, Somewhere" was the fourth and last single by Gullivers People, a London sextet that hardly ever played outside town, but who was the resident band in the legendary Tiffany's during a few years. With a sound quite close to the so called "sunshine pop", they released only four singles between 1966 and 1969. A single per year. With the unutterable Norman Smith at the controls, it almost seems it's summer.
