Tom Chaplin is an English musician active since 1997. He started out in a band in 1995 with his friends called the Lotus Eaters which was a cover band, before changing the name to Cherry Keane in 1997. It was named after a friend of Chaplin's mother, but they ended up dropping the Cherry from the title. He took a gap year in South Africa, so they didn't play their first gig until 1998. The lead singer left the band in 2001 and was replaced in the role by Chaplin, along with playing the organ and piano on some tracks. They've released six albums from 2004 up to 2019, with a four year hiatus that happened starting in 2014. During that hiatus, Tom Chaplin did solo work, releasing his debut album in 2016. He did a tour and also did a Christmas album in 2017. Obviously this is one of his solo songs, but I'm curious how the sound changes from just his stuff to that which he does with the band. It's worth comparing. 

Peace.
