begin compared david funny given glad gray listen lucky parents people rice sound sounds voice weird
To begin with there was the comparisons to David Gray and Damien Rice because they were singer-songwriters.

I relax by catching up with my friends and family. When I am at home in Ibiza, I find the contrast of living on a divided island relaxing - with beauty and tranquillity in the north and a sense of fun, shallowness and celebration in the south.
