Gilbert O'Sullivan, one of the most revered singer-songwriters of his generation, has recorded twelve pared down versions of 12 songs from his outstanding catalogue. The album is entitled Songbook.
The idea for Songbook arose after O’Sullivan’s 2022 Barbican show (where The Charlatans’ Tim Burgess duetted with him on ‘Nothing Rhymed’). O’Sullivan recorded it in such a way as to capture the instrumentation and interplay between him and internationally renowned guitarist Bill Shanley.
Described as the songwriter’s songwriter, Gilbert O’Sullivan has garnered quite a following from fellow musicians, including Paul Weller, Elton John, Nina Simone, Mick Hucknall, Ron Sexmith, The Lemon Twigs, Michael Bublé and Diana Krall.

Lyrics:
When the evening is over
Put your head upon my shoulder
And I'll tell you something
I believe is true
Happiness is me and you
In a world so distorted
Where the worst is best reported
Love maybe something
That will see us through
Happiness is me and you
There maybe girls that I'll remember
That made me happy for a while
But none of them compare with you my love
However hard they they all may try
If the bus that we're taking
Has for ages kept us waiting
What does it matter
Even in a queue
Happiness is me and you
There may be days when you discover
I'm not the man you think I am
But through it all we will recover
Without the aid of any plan
When the weeks turn to hours
And in June it's April showers
I'll tell you something I believe is true
Happiness is me and you
Happiness is me and you
Happiness is me and you
