Here by Me

Guitar, Bass and Drums. This is a pretty basic band set up but Colin has nailed it with the recording. Great guitar sound Ross and thumping drums Duncan. Bob came down for a visit and he wrote the chorus lyrics on the bus on the way down; "I wish you were here I wish you were gone". I sketched out the verse lyrics and did the chord structure like "Heatwave"  and it just seemed to work. Great fun to play and sing.

I had a drop D riff and the first line "Woke up with a thief". Bob had introduced me to the Felice Brothers and we were talking about there songwriting and "the brothers Felice" rhymed with "woke up with a thief" and we were off. The initial version had the drop d riff all through the verses and the chorus but Colin suggested we change to a more punchy motown style bass riff at the chorus and it works like a dream. I just love Ross's guitar sound and what a great solo, sounds like Cream or one of those late 60's bluesy bands. Like it, a lot!

The twin vocal just seems to work with solo then two parts in the verse and then together at the chorus. With Jamie's accordion and great drums and percussion. Like a dance, almost a tango, where will it lead? Where will the steps take us?
