From the opening beguiling Sister's Song, Sumner takes us on a bittersweet journey through the high's and low's of this eternal mystery we call LIFE.

notes

Are you bored with non sencical hum drum factory fired tunes? Then step aboard THE ASTRONAUT, is it a homage to space travel? A yearning for lost love? Or simply a hymn to a long gone fairground ride? In this place nothing is for certain.

Some song's can only be born from experiencing the laughter and the tear's.

So if thought provoking, heartfelt music is your bag, then step right up and excersise your mind and free your spirit!


"Gone" is the best Oasis-sounding song that beats anything the Gallagher Bros. have done in many moons.
EAR CANDY MAGAZINE


Paul Sumner is a singer-songwriter born and raised in Southport; a modest seaside town in the North West of England. As one of eight children he sought escape from the strains of family life using music as his outlet. Accordingly, 'A World Of Horses' is strong on heart-on-sleeve sentiment with an echo-driven production; the sound of the seaside opening and closing the record. Sumner's strength lies in his soul-baring material. The acoustic 'Golden Sun' is possibly his best song but it's ably backed up by 'Tyson' and the title track; all of these feature Beatlesque melody and Sumner's delivery at its most yearning. Sumner also attempts a show-stopping 'Revolver'-like number on the ambitious 'The Astronaut' and towards the end of the song he just about pulls off the trick. A commendable first album by Sumner which is strong on honesty as well as tunes.

  • Heartfelt : A Definition
    author: Skye

    A beautiful, timeless voice; emotive, magical lyrics; and an exquisite arrangement - all of which compliment one another perfectly. This is music to feel by, and live through. Entering this world of horses, is a very special journey indeed.

  • Strong Voice and Acoustic's.
    author: Angela

    The strength of all the songs lye's with the singer's voice and the guitar work is without fault. A consistent album.

  • Finely crafted and recorded songs: Blue Nile without the boredom
    author: Steve Greenmantle

    The album opens and immediately Paul's voice just hits all the right notes and emotions. Not bad for starters but it just keeps getting better! The arrangements are all excellent and the strings are a beautiful addition to the acoustic feel throughout. This is a warm and heartfelt collection, nothing pretentious here. It's like an acoustic Blue Nile without boring bits. Buy this instead of going to see Joaquin/Johnny Cash at the cinema. I did!

    author: Stephen W

    Emotion is a powerful weapon when harnessed in lyrics. Captivating from the first song to the last, a world of horses magnifies summers potential to be a legend of modern day music. Bringing acoustic guitar and home grown lyrics to life with a unique blend that enthrals the ears and stimulates the mind. Thank You Paul, to be touched by your music is an honour.

  • exhilerating and intense work that glows with every listen.
    author: Saint Paul

    music of this quality doesn't show itself too often so we should take it into our hearts when it does! the stellar funk workout on tyson part 2 is irresistable and not forgetting the epic but poigniant astronaut, lovely. every home should have one!

  • Pure poetry written from the heart, excellent guitar and great voice.
    author: Yorkshire Pudding!

    This cd is pure talent, I fell in love with it straight away. The lyrics are pure poetry, very deep and meaningful. The guitar playing is excellent and Paul has a great singing voice. I love it, and so do all my family and friends. It seems to appeal to everyone. Hope there will be another album soon.

  • music that makes you realise the emotional journey of life
    author: judith prendiville

    this ablum has depth and warmth, a real find. music that is written with such emotion and from the heart, deserves to be listened to. the songwriting takes you on a journey, from sister song through to a world of horses. my favorite is no3 GONE, it is fabulous. looking forward to the next album.

  • Well crafted first album, cant wait for the next
    author: Zenman

    First listening gives an impression of a man paying dues to his influences in fine style. further listening makes you realise that it is the pure influence of himself that makes Paul Sumners music infectious, the personal sounding "Sisters song", "Sorrow" and "Suffer one so strange" are highlights but for me "Maybe its you" has to be the best song. When is the next album ready?

  • Refreshingly multi-layered – great listening & great 1st effort
    author: Darren

    Great sounds, a dazzling album. Was really impressed with this album from the minute I put it on. As for the music there are hints of some artists I could name but won't as I think that would detract from the unique sounds put across on this album. Also a worthy point I thought was how well A World Of Horses works as an album, each song in harmony with those around it, allowing it to play through almost seamlessly A sound addition to my music collection – many thanks Sumner…definitely well worth a purchase! Keep up the good work.

  • We are talking songwriting of the highest order
    author: Vernon Cappell NYC

    If your looking for reassurance that the true art of songwriting is not a lost art,then look no further than here. Moments of absolute beauty!

  • Wordsmiths are back !
    author: boyof64

    what a great find, its about time we got back to song written from the heart instead of the drum machine. The Astronaut is brilliant, this must be sumners supernova, and the World of horse...well. who ever buys this one will hear great songs from a great wordsmith, can't wait for album 2.
