KT [Scottish singer-songwriter] has now played live to over 150,000
people during her own sell-out tours, with 'Suddenly I See' becoming a
particular favourite of her fans.

"This song was inspired by the picture of Patti Smith on the Horses
cover," says KT. "The black and white one with her in a man's suit
with the jacket over her shoulder. I realised that this image had
really stuck with me from seeing it years ago. I remember thinking,
'that's what I want to be when I grow up' (despite being in my mid-20s
at the time.) You know, when growing up becomes much more about
getting wise. I adore the sound of this song - it tickles my hillbilly
leanings. We used this instrument called a cajon, it9s a Spanish
slapbox, which gives it that junkyard acoustic feel."

I checked the archives and did not see a mention of this, even though
this seems to be from August 2005 (so why it came in a recent google
alert, idunno).
