Guy Taunton – Superman Lunchbox (Single)
 

Friends can cause a lot of pain and loneliness. It’s the main fact you learn when listening to Guy Taunton’s story about someone who lost his soul mate. With anger and disappointment he observes that someone who’s very dear to him tries to fit in with another gang, while it is obvious to him that he/ she hasn’t really changed at all.

Between the lines it becomes apparent though that the sad eyed soul is not only someone you feel sorry for because of his friend, but also because of himself; someone who recalls the days of kicking sandboxes and using a superman lunchbox as the good old days.

Guy Taunton is a good storyteller; his lyrics are simple, but speak to the imagination and his voice suits perfect for sad stories like this. Superman Lunchbox is a song you either want to listen to over and over again because there’s so much in it, or a song that you want to switch off halfway, because – for some people – there’s too much in it.
