"Suddenly I See" comes off Eye to the Telescope, KT Tunstall's 2004 debut, and it's her salute to Patti Smith, whose cover for Horses also gave Tunstall the idea for her own album sleeve. Tunstall wrote it alone and plays guitar, Luke Bullen drives it on cajón, drums and percussion, Arnulf Lindner adds baritone guitar and bass, and Steve Osborne produced, keeping it bright, tight and stomping.
It went out as the album's third single in Britain in August 2005 and reached 12, her highest chart placing at home, then arrived in America as the second single in February 2006 and got to 21. It hit number five in New Zealand and six in Australia, and won Tunstall an Ivor Novello Award in 2006 for Best Song Musically and Lyrically.
