‘Its Only A Fantasy’ is the second single from McCann’s recently released album, ‘Here Comes The Rapture’. “The song is about desiring someone who is out of your reach, like a different social standing, or just someone who’s a lot cooler than me……unrequited love and the possibilities of achieving what could only be a fantasy,” he tells us.

Paul is very much a hands on guy and on his album, he plays most of the instrumentation, including – Vocals, Lead Guitar, Rhythm Guitar, Electric Bass, Double Bass, Slide Guitar, Piano, Mellotron, Harmonica, Kazoo, and Trumpet!
