DESCRIPTION:
Taken from the new album 'What Kind Of Love', out now on Loose.

DANNY ON 'CLEAR WATER' - "Every album I’ve made, including all the Grand Drive stuff, seems to really start moving when a certain song is written… a kind of catalyst that seems to define the feel and approach of the whole process from there on in… it’s not necessarily the first song or even the best song written but it’s the one that everything seems to hang off. "Clear Water" was that song for this album… it set the tone for everything that went on from that point. I wrote it with Paul Lush, our guitar player, in Oslo I think. We toured a hell of a lot last year and I’ve never written much on the road before but getting the guitars out and opening a bottle of wine on days off became a regular thing… I started looking forward to it… I hadn’t collaborated on songwriting since the early days of Grand Drive and it was refreshing, fun. There’s no pressure… you don’t need to record it… it’s funny, when you’re young you start out trying to be Dylan or Townes, feeling that you have to say everything in three minutes… now I wanna be Chuck Berry or Bob Gaudio! This song reminds me of "Chairman Of The Board" and that makes me very happy..."
