I have put off reviewing this album for months and months (and months). I have eventually realised that my reason for doing so is that I simply have neither the vocabulary nor the eloquence to express my admiration for, and love of it.
The musical composition and arrangement of the songs is superb, combined with beautiful guitar work and... well... 'indescribable' close harmony vocals. 
I see works of this type not as entertainment, but as a carrier for the lyrical content within, and the more willing you are to allow the carrier to penetrate your consciousness the more likely you are to hear the message. The songs performed here slip easily past your defences and in them there are words of wisdom for all of us. Don't get me wrong - there is no preaching, but simply an open honesty about things in life that really matter. This is an album to be listened to, not just to be heard. Treat youself to a comfy chair, mood lighting, a glass of fine wine.... and Songbook.

What hits you first are the harmonies, but what follows are the unexpected landscapes of sound.  It is a world unto itself and one which MUST be explored.  A brilliant CD!!

Flowerbed is David Sanderson, a multi-instrumentalist, singer and songwriter. Sanderson sites a wide range of musical influences from The Beatles, to Joni Mitchell to XTC. His own melodic style is light rock and pop. David's eleven-track, solo CD is guitar and vocal based. Sanderson writes philosophical lyrics about life and travel. His approach to production is laid back with a few strange clips added. 'Travelbag' the opening track moves along on visual storytelling accented by the acoustic guitar. 'In Circles' is universal with the theme of searching for meaning but finding oneself "running round and round in circles". David uses the guitar to create the subtle rhythm in the song. 'Mindful Moon' has dreamy, reflective vocals combined with soft instrumentation bringing the CD to a quiet close. David Sanderson is a clever wordsmith armed with a guitar!

A collection of delightful songs by a master of composition. This CD is definitely a must have. The more you listen to it the more you'll hear.
