    By way of apology to those who prefer compact discs, we have a few dozen of the CDR promotional edition available. While not quite up to Radio Khartoum's usual CD packaging standards (jewel case alert!), it does include an illustrated 16-page booklet with lyrics, song notes by Matt Jones and a sleeve note by Frank Discussions. In fact, it includes several illustrations that the vinyl doesn't, including that damned, obligatory cat and catalogue thing that has dogged our last four Bügelfrei-designed releases.

about

This is a song about my dog Gwyn, he being a white dog and ‘gwyn’ being the Welsh for ‘white’, as well as a boy’s name. My meant-to-be-golden labrador was not, therefore, named after Gwyn Thomas, with whose work I became acquainted some years after the ‘pale hound’ turned up. The lyric and title are a nod to ‘Black Eyed Dog’, Drake’s testament to the terrifying and paralysing effects of depression, and of the way in which my own canine guardian ‘keeps watch over me’.

lyrics

I need a white dog to keep me company
I need a white dog to keep watch over me
When you’re feeling lonely or you’re in a jam
It’s good to know there’s someone there to hold your hand

I need a white dog to keep me company
I need a white dog to keep watch over me
Conversations are all well and good
But words are just one way of making yourself understood

When you’re feeling lonely or you’re in a jam
It’s good to know there’s someone there to hold your hand
Long-winded conversations are all well and good
But words are just one way of making yourself understood

He’s the one who picks me up when things go wrong
So I thought I’d commemorate that pale hound in a song
He’s my white dog, he keeps me company
He’s my white dog, he keeps watch over me
