Description
The fourth studio album by Marillion, ‘Clutching at straws’, released in 1987, was a concept album written around the character of Torch, a 29 year old unemployed man who seeks comfort in alcohol to numb himself. Still, he can’t forget his failed marriage, a deadbeat father and a lack of commercial success as a singer in a band.
The single sugar mice’ wraps up this theme rather nicely, creating a heartfelt and quite dramatic song. The single reached number 22 in the UK singles chart.
