This is a track we have had around for a while, but have finally completed it, here are the lyrics for you all to sing along, must be played at unsociably high volume for maximum enjoyment, hope you like it.

Mikey and Andy


Intro:
Why are you coming round here
Your always coming round here

Chorus:
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Everytime I see you face
you are the one i need to replace
with your long black hair, walking round town and looking like a disgrace
You are my world of pain
i don’t want to be the one to complain but
something happening in your brain

Verse 1:
Now I know that I have given all the things you said were mine
I know you’d break them………
theres nothing left for you to use that will help you twist the knife
Its what you’ve become

Verse 2:
Our closing scene was always set and you said you’d play your part
but now your broken…
the truth is out and your demons they show their evil heart
Its what you’ve become
This is what you’ve become

This is possibly a first track that I actually disliked on forum. First 12 seconds are fine, and then its like goes into a "pinky flower magnet" mode. Not to my taste, too soft, too commercialised, doesn't segregate from any other bands that write the same music just with different lyrics. Solo was nice.

Sorry for being honest, but this is what we here for.

Thank you.
Best Regards,
Slava B.

Hi Slava.

Dude, I appreciate this track will not be everyone's cup of tea, but thanks for the listen and comment.

Cheers

Yo Mike and Andy.

Love the use of the trem and feedback in the intro,man that's a start that got my attention!

Very effective use of octaves on the vocals. The monotone melody line really works in context and the soaring high notes stand in stark relief.

A lot of work has gone into crafting this piece and it's evident with the light and shade contained in the BIG overall sound.Great separation and stereo spread.

A personal favourite of mine. Everything has clicked into place for you guys,you are learning to play intuitively together.

I'm in a short song mood these days,so the length is my only possible criticism,but that's more than likely down to me,rather than anything constructive.

Off for another few listens.

Thanks a lot Skub and Kevy, we worked hard on this one as it was a bit of a challenge to get it sounding just right, and the kind comments shows it was worth the effort, I know what you mean about working together with Andy, we feel that we are improving as we go and are blending Andy's Britpop with my old school rock styles quite effectively.

We are really pleased that you like it so much, especially as its a bit different to our usual style, thanks for taking the time to listen,

Cheers, Mikey

Well I did listen to your song and I think it is a okay song. The lyric is not 100% to my likeness but the melody, I like it. Keep on doing what you love doing.

I love it really love it - maybe it's that oasis thing again- can imagine Liam singing this - definite oasis feel to it - I'm playing it again and again - I especially love the chorus - we must be on the same wave length wish I'd have written this - love the long black hair part

Really gets Into me wow xxx

And I love the picture on the cover as well

Thanks Katie, glad you enjoyed it, we never intend to try and sound like Oasis or anyone else for that matter, but everyone seems to think Andy's voice has that sound, and that can't be a bad thing as a lot of people seem to like it.

Thanks for the listen and taking time to comment. Mikey

Nice production on this one, clean lines and well integrated guitars. Got a great sheen to it.

Liked the tremolo on the vocals very much worked really well.

Lyrically not entirely clear on the story and some of it seems borderline mean

Found the above line a little concerning, mainly because the context isn't clear.
Almost sounds like people with long black hair should be ashamed of themselves!  ???

Beautifully presented bit of work.

Hi Tboswell

Just for all you ladies out there - Me and Mikey don't have anything against women with Black hair.....Its just a song, not real life, Although we do know some unsavoury female characters that may fit the context of this song.

Keep it real and keep on rockin.

Andy

Loads to like here guys! Not 100% my cup of tea musically but the attention to detail and creativity in the production cannot be denied, top class, But what happened to the drums? To me they need to come up in the mix, other than that, great job.

Really great. Reminds me of Duran Duran, a good thing. Well written, sung, produced. Sounds very professional. I could see this performed center stage at a huge outdoor summer festival. Great job!

Hi Mikey and Andy. I have duly played this at very high volume but now my neighbours are  banging on the walls. Unappreciated gits eh !  There's a real festival  feel to this one and lots of great  guitar and vocals work  going down there. It sort has a repetitious feel that can get under your skin which I guess you guys were aiming for. Top quality production btw. Well thought out. Good stuff as usual guys.

Hi Guys. Appreciate the work you have put into this. It's very well produced as usual, well thought out. Slick is the word that springs to mind. I have to be honest, it doesn't stick in my head after listening like some of your others. Most of your songs are really hooky. This is not. Doesn't mean it's a bad song, just not up there with your best for me.
