Dear Tom,

Over the past few years I've found that your music is especially good in the following situations:

- late night depressed alcohol sessions alone in your room ('Boy with the Bubblegun').
- GREAT live concerts
- late night driving (especially ('One More Mile')).
- GREAT live concerts
- waking up (especially 'A Day Like Today' and 'For The Restless')
- GREAT live concerts
- cycling to university (especially 'The Girl Who Falls Downstairs', 'Karaoke Soul' and 'Sound of the City')
- GREAT live concerts
- too hot summers in Southern Europe (especially 'A Thousand Suns' and 'Ghost of a Shark')
- GREAT live concerts
- reminding people that life isn't that good at all
- GREAT live concerts
- help people find hope in misery
and
- GREAT live concerts

There's a lot of things your music is perfect for,Tom McRae, but a birthday isn't one of those things. So, please Tom, do not play any of your own music and have a HAPPY birthday instead.

All the best,

Stefan
