casiotone for the painfully alone - scattered pearls

another throwback today, this time it's casiotone for the painfully alone with the song "scattered pearls" which was released on the album etiquette in 2006.  i love the name of the 'band,' which is actually a solo project for Owen Ashworth.  Yuri introduced me to this song and I instantly fell in love with it, singing it for days.  There are live versions out there with Owen singing the song, but the album release of the song features Jenny Herbinson.  I think it's her sweet sweet voice that makes the song so charming.  In an interview Owen said "I can't remember why Jenny sang 'Scattered Pearls.' Maybe I just had a 'feeling about it.' I get a lot of 'feelings about things.' I like the idea of using different singers sort of as actors because all of the songs have different characters.'"  Interesting, no?
