Song

I met Scott Hutchison once, a few years ago, when I brought Tracyanne Campbell along to a studio on the east side of Glasgow where she recorded a guest vocal on "Fuck This Place" - a Frightened Rabbit track for an EP they were making to sell on tour.

I didn't really know Scott but that day he was was friendly and unassuming and was pleased to have Tracyanne involved.

There is a lot of heartbreak and pain being expressed about Scott's passing. He touched a lot of lives and was loved. I wasn't going to write anything because I can't pretend to have really known him. But I read that his family and friends were taking strength from the thoughts expressed and memories shared. And I remember that when we lost Carey, Tracyanne and the rest of the band, and Carey's family and friends, drew support from others sharing the different ways in which Carey had touched their lives.

I hope Scott's bandmates, family and friends are holding up as best they can.

In Michael Palin's diaries he writes about a church service for his sister who took her own life. A family friend says,"If only she could have seen herself as we all saw her."
