shareHi guys,
My apologies housemouse, I saw your post almost immediately after watching the drama and meant to reply but sadly forgot. I did a bit of detective work to find the two songs used, which are both sung by Robert Wyatt.
Meeee is spot on, the main song that's used as the theme throughout and which we hear the vocals of at the end takes its lyrics from a poem called 'The Debt' by Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906). http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poem/173458
The other song, heard during the funeral scene, uses lines from the poem ‘One morn I left him in his bed’ by Elizabeth Drew Barstow Stoddard (1823–1902). http://www.poetryfoundation.org/learning/poem/182719
Couldn't find any further info I'm afraid. If I do I'll be sure to return!
I thought the soundtrack was awful. The tunes and lyrics weren't bad, but the singer sounded like Barney Frank.
