Solid Wood
"Solid Wood" is a song by British singer-songwriter Alison Moyet, released on 14 August 1995 as the second and final single from her 1995 compilation album Singles. It was written by Moyet and produced by Ian Broudie.
In May 1995, Columbia released Alison Moyet's first compilation album, Singles, which reached the UK number one spot the following month. To promote the album, two newly-recorded tracks, "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" and "Solid Wood" were released as singles. "Solid Wood" was the second, released on 14 August 1995. Unlike "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face", which did not chart, "Solid Wood" reached No. 44 in the United Kingdom, remaining in the top 100 for two weeks.
A music video was filmed to promote the single. In the States, it gained some airing on the music television show JBTV, the Brockton-based Rage TV, and Newark-based Power Play Music Video Television.
"Solid Wood" was released by Columbia on CD and cassette in the UK and across Europe. The B-side on the cassette edition was "Blue", a non-album track which was written about Moyet's love of Southend United F.C. In the UK, two different CD versions were released, with CD1 also featuring the same tracks as the main European release. In addition to "Blue", "Ode to Boy", taken from the Essex album, was included, along with a live version of "There Are Worse Things I Could Do". The sleeve of the CD1 release features a photograph of Moyet's parents on a motorbike. For the UK CD2 version, the third and fourth tracks were "Whispering Your Name", also from Essex, and "First Time (Are You Sure It's Your......)", a remix of "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" by Mark Saunders.
On its release, Music & Media described "Solid Wood" as "a solid rocking pop song" which "do[es] justice to her background in Canvey Island where pub rock once started".
