"At a time when even Iggy Pop has to sell his body to an insurance advert to pay the bills, we know we're in an economic crises kids. Hence why escapism is needed more than ever. Enter Scottish Troubadour Lucky Jim (aka Gordon Graham) and his new single 'Wheels'. Tinged with longing and urgency from the start, the song is a beautiful ode to Grahames' love interest, focusing on the simplistic and sincere message of wanting to give more than able. Sprinkled with lyrics as beautiful as they are aching, like "If I had money in my pocket, I would give it to you, I would buy you all the things that you never knew" It's a song filled with 'Ifs" and "If only's" but not in a victimised way, more in a optimistic "Here's to the future" sense. Driven by a hypnotic acoustic guitar melody and later followed by sparkling piano lines and synths, which are both a light and dainty contrast to Lucky Jim's gravel based vocals, making Tom Waits sound like a choirboy. In short, an enchanting love song full of disire, aspiration and the potential fortunes of tomorrow. There's hope yet for us Iggy!"
