This is specially nice...a collaboration with my old band mate SmithC, who makes his MCS debut with this one.
We had written this song some years ago, on a piano (hence the large no of chords!!), about a girl Smith used to know.
The original version was a ballad (which is being worked upon separately, as is an unplugged version) but sometime during the collab process a decision was made to do a rocker version of this. Then stepped in Henry who played a major role in arranging this version with his meaty guitar work and wonderful solos evoking the spirit of Sykes. Then Thunder played a incredible drums part channeling his inner Cozy. Smithie put in a heartfelt vocal, and then mix meister Argle mixed this beautifully to create a clear punchy mix!!
I hope you enjoy the listen, and Smithie, congratulations in completing your first collaboration on MCS. First of many more to come I am sure!!
And thanks guys..once again!
