“Paper Ships” starts with a song called “Northern Town.” It’s about Bowers’ life in Birkenhead and how he left. It talks about how the North’s industrial towns change and how people struggle. The album’s songs are very deep and personal. Each song tells Bowers’ feelings. “A Place By The River” and “Ghosts” talk about things many people feel, but Bowers says them in a special way. His voice shows his feelings in the songs. In “A Fine Day To Leave” and “You Stole My Joy,” his voice is full of strong emotions, like in movies by Ken Loach and Shane Meadows.
