Still Life by Aqualung
Still Life is an album by Aqualung, released in 2003. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 11 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Brighter Than Sunshine”, on 11 lists with a best position of #52.
Still Life, the second album from Aqualung, the name Matt Hales records under, came out on B-Unique on 27 October 2003, and it trades the smaller scale of the self-titled debut for a full band and a bigger, more expansive sound. The songs swell accordingly, big-hearted and bruised, with Hales's soft, aching voice riding on top.
"Brighter Than Sunshine" is the keeper, a swooning single that later turned up in the film A Lot Like Love and gave Aqualung a real foothold in America. "Easier to Lie" followed as a single, and "Left Behind" found its way into Chrysler commercials. Critics took to it warmly.
