Fish's Introduction to Somebody Special


Somebody Special was a track from the Suits album, that came out in 1994, but I didn't really feel that the song found itself until it was within the acoustic tour. I think acoustically there was an energy, there was a spark and a vitality that was in the song, that I think had gone missing during the original studio versions. The song itself was about a number of people, but based upon one girl whose name I could never, ever mention. It's about people that look on, for example, the yuppies of the eighties or whatever, people that gloss through the pages of Hello magazine and go "that's where I want to be, that's the sort of person I want to become", when in actual fact, they've already found themselves as a person. Everybody is individual, everybody in themselves is somebody special in their own right.
