Download “If I” | Here’s some Piers Faccini music as promised. And an excerpt from an interview with Santa Barbara Independent, dated December 2006:

Does your worldly upbringing give you better insight into songwriting? The music that I do is influenced by a lot of different kinds of music from around the world. It’s a very kind of eclectic music, which I’ve been listening to ever since I was 18 really. I don’t know if I could say definitely [that it makes me a better songwriter], but the fact that I wasn’t in one country, that I moved around speaking more than one language, that made me an outsider constantly. I know how England works, I speak the language, but I don’t feel English. I go to France, I don’t feel French. I go to Italy, and I don’t feel Italian. That gave me more a sense of whit and scope for when I write songs. I don’t feel limited to any particular format.
