The song it skips and bumps along, Seemed to fall apart, then all at once it came together in sacred melody… And I’d always planned, To sing in a sweet and soulful way as only cowboys can, But my saddle strap snapped like a dog-chewed tourniquet, And the sky fell low over north London, And it hangs low until this day. I dreamt of gunfights in Toledo, when I opened my eyes, I was in the layby north of Telford, an A-road layby, And as the tour had gunked and jumped along, seemed to fall apart, Then all at once ran true as a ley line under sacred Albion. And I had always planned, To sing in a sweet and soulful way as only a cowboy can, But my saddle strap snapped like a dog-chewed tourniquet, And the sky hangs low over Margate sands, And it hangs low yet… Credits: Written & Directed by Rose Bosch Produced by Twin Pix & Bagarre Productions Line Producer- Lolie Fouquet Featuring The Sailor - Peter Doherty The Death -Sophie Renoir The Life - Laura Genovino Art Direction -Thaddée & Numa & Rose Bosch Anton Mulot Uger - 1st AD Director of Photography - David Moerman 1st Cam Operator Assistant - Julia Chahbazian Grégoire Mazureck - Steadicam Operator Fayçal Bouhassoun - Gaffer Clémentine Bosch - Costume Design Assisted by Ali El Ayeb Justine Germain - Make up Kyryl Boiteux -Unit Manager Guillem Pastor - Assistant Unit Manager Clementine Bosch - Photographer Lolie Fouquet - Photographer Post production Edited by Guillaume Louyot + Onickz Artworks Colorgraded by Kim Marc Huynh / Kamehouse Color A buoyant spirit permeates Peter Doherty’s fifth solo album, Felt Better Alive, a gorgeous collection of poetic vignettes, both acoustic and orchestral, indie-folk and country, poignant and outright comic. Peter’s not only a survivor but a creative powerhouse, with more projects, plans and reasons to stay alive than he’s ever had. And in 2025, the year he turns 46, with Felt Better Alive, brings us some of the most deft, bouncy and charming songs of his always melodic life.
