Sniper and Other Love Songs is the second studio album by the American singer/songwriter
Harry Chapin, released in 1972. The album's
title song is a vaguely fictionalised account of
Charles Whitman's shootings from the clocktower of the
Main Building of the University of Texas at Austin in August 1966. In 2004 it was released as a double CD package with Heads & Tales featuring several previously unreleased out-takes.
The song "
Circle" was a major hit for
The New Seekers (released as "Circles") and became known as the Chapin Anthem. "
Sunday Morning Sunshine" cracked the Billboard Hot 100. A live version of "A Better Place To Be" charted in 1976.
