I've been following Goldfrapp for a few years now and this album is such a bless for me. I really love tales and poetry. I love soft sounds and whispers. I've decided to join the forum listening to this album. Clay is the first track that got me stuck. Gosh, the first time I listened to Clay I got shivers all over my body. It's my favorite track so far. Now that I've read the letter it is even more emotional to me.
Not only Goldfrapp was inspired by this letter. As I am reading from Paper Bag Records newsletter:
After the release of their 2CD Ultramarine [Deluxe Edition], Young Galaxy have released a new video for 'Sleepwalk With Me'. The animated video, directed by Fabricio Lima, was inspired by a heartfelt story of a relationship between two soldiers during the Second World War, called "Letter to a G.I.", first published in 1953 and republished in September 1961 by ONE Magazine in the USA.
