I Can See Clearly Now

At the start of their new show The Grand Tour Jeremy Clarkson and his two stooges brought back to the public consciousness this awesome song, I Can See Clearly Now. This 1990 cover by Hothouse Flowers has always been superior to the version by Johnny Nash because, quite simply, it is easier to distinguish a male voice to the song.

It's also a broody, tentative, self-emergence kind of song that breaks out and 'flowers' beautifully, leaving the listener with that sense of optimism and energy.

    A good metaphor for the start of The Grand Tour (which is brilliant BTW).
