‘Dreaming Like A Fool’ is new single from The Boy Who Trapped The Sun. One of the standout tracks on his acclaimed debut album ‘Fireplace’, ‘Dreaming Like A Fool’ was co-written with Ed Harcourt and is the waltz-y, wry tale of an ex-girlfriend who tried to stab The Boy. “Lately it feels like we’re drifting apart,” he sings. “It could be because you’re insane.”

The Boy Who Trapped The Sun is 25 year old Colin MacLeod from Scotland’s Isle of Lewis. He recently returned to his roots for a short tour of Lewis, Skye, and Mull, supporting KT Tunstall.
