Story Behind The Song
The song was written about an old flame who is now in my past forever and I often wonder if she's heard the song and wonders if it is about her ?
Song Description
The track was recorded at Effort studios in Bedford by Producer,engineer,musician Matt Roberts a great musician and friend of mine.The drums are from LM1 ala prince very 80's but back in vogue of late.The backing vox in the chorus are Matt, as is the bass, a mic'ed acoustic double bass, with a Fender Precision electric bass dubbed on in unison to achieve that fat sound.There is a Mellowtron played by Matt, like The Beatles used, and a piano dubbed on after and played by Marco my keys player in Denmark Street added this evening.He also converted the track to 192 kps for me. Thanks Matt & Marco.
