Neil Hannon discusses the sentimentality involved in writing music for the band's upcoming 13th album. He shares his feelings about receiving feedback, highlighting a comment comparing one of their songs to the theme of the TV show Cheers. Hannon reacts positively to this comparison, appreciating the compliment and sharing his affection for the show. He also touches on the pressure of recording at the iconic Abbey Road studio, acknowledging the weight of expectations that comes with such a legacy.
"Telling a musician with many decades of experience that one of the songs from their latest album is reminiscent of the Cheers theme tune can lead the interview in one of two ways."
"Fortunately, Neil Hannon takes the comment (which is a compliment) with good grace, saying his mind 'has just been blown' and that Cheers is a TV show he adores, singing the famous opening line while speaking to me via Zoom."
