Ali very much meant the words of this song.
author: JI
The edgy pop sound of Impossible Songs came into sound and vision next. They had played in Falkirk last weekend and seemed tighter than usual as a result. The dual vocal on “Cold Fish” a lyrically sad (‘are you ready to get all alone?’) but, perversely, musically light and up-tempo number worked very well and the chorus has stuck in my head ever since. “Pieces Of String” used a ‘cheesy pop’ drum machine and was a pop song with vengeance. I’m glad I wasn’t the subject of the lyric – ‘stuck in between a smile and a scream / pieces of string to choke you’. Ali meant the words of this song. “I Miss That Boy” was on the other side of the lyrical coin, reminiscing about a lost (first?) love. John’s guitar picking was immense on this.

About the track "dancing" from Heartburst. Nice contrasting numbers today. Impossible Songs are a duo from the sultry shores of South Queensferry and here they pluck and croon their way through a gorgeous wee song.

Vocal Variation & Impressive Guitar Work
author: Big Jim
Finishing us up nicely for the night is Impossible Songs. We are informed that tonight’s songs are all about “domesticity”. The first was a song I haven’t heard before – I don’t think a title was given. In the year or so I’ve seen IS play at the Waverley I’ve noticed an enormous increase of confidence in their sets – particularly from lead chanteuse Ali. There was something almost avant-garde about this song … I was even put in mind of the likes of Sparks (“this stage ain’t big enough for the both of us”, perhaps?). But I could see what guitarist/backing vocalist John had meant when he mentioned the word “domesticity”: “For goodness sake, you’ve not cleaned the shower – there’s hair in there and it’s yours” squeals Ali. There’s a great deal of vocal variation in this song – sometimes speaking, sometimes singing and sometimes shouting. John also gives us lots to listen to with some impressive guitar playing – there’s a cool bassline riff and a few instrumental breaks that temporarily change the mood of the song in moments of brightness.

Great guitar c/w Ali's vocal
author: Big Jim
The final song of the night was “That’s my Baby”, and I guess this song, in contrast to the previous one, is about being a proud parent. More great guitar playing from John in this song – possibly some of the best I’ve seen from him. After his complex bass riff intro Ali sings “That’s my baby, that’s my baby boy, he’s walking and talking”. Definitely a cheerful way to finish the night, with plenty of percussion from an appreciative audience
