It's been over a month since the last new song,so I thought it was time to impose upon you once again.  ;)

It's a coming of age choon..regardless of age. Experiences come to us all at different times in our lives. It's never too late to learn new tricks.

When the lights went out
I asked,what happens now
She said,you don't believe
But we'll get through,somehow

Close your eyes and let it be
You don't need to see

She said,you won't need
Nerves of steel
You won't need to see at all
As long as you can feel

She told me it's a problem
People see too much
You can find what you need
It's all in the touch

Close your eyes and let it be
You don't need to see

Close your eyes and let it be
You don't need to see

Close your eyes and let it be
You don't need to see

All the songs you post, including this one, always sound so professional to me. I have no nits.

Great lyrics which I'm sure we can all relate to. Great music as well Serge  :) The Riff is a killer. How do you come up with so many fab ones ? Sexy stuff  :)

Wow, powerful lyrics indeed on a tough topic. Simple and the emotion really comes over. Just the right feel I think to show the conflict between despair and optimism. Great arrangement but bass shining particularly in this one for me.

Well if this song is about sex, at 2 mins 38 seconds, don't you think you are showing off a bit?  ;D

The thing that works best for me here is that riff, which kind of motors the song along, plus has that ear candy descending element to it which really hooks.

Vocals, good as ever and a really smart, condensed and punchy song.

If anything I would say the chorus hook was a bit on the short side - ie seemed to be over all too quickly. But wasn't that where I came in?  ;)

@CaliaMoko

Aw,thanks Vicki. I can always rely on your support,but are you perfectly sure there aren't some examples of sloppy diction,poor grammar? I bet there is!  :D

@pompeyjazz

Re the riffs,I steal them John!  :D Oh,and Serge?  ???

@nooms

Hey thanks a bunch nooms,I'm well chuffed ya liked it. Gram Parsons eh? Now there was a boyo!  8)

@adamfarr

Many thanks Adam. I'm a bit of a bluffer on the bass. I do enjoy playing the thing,but I always think a real bass player would do a better job than a guitarist pretending to play bass! It's cool ya liked it. Thanks man.  8)

Art trumps perfect construction. I know there is at least one song in which I will always sing "choo" instead of "you". I can't remember what it is right now, but I know there is one.

Great as always, Skub. I really like the premise, that it doesn't really matter what you look like, it's how you make each other feel. That's lovely. I won't talk about the guitar playing (amazing) or vocals (those, too), but I wasn't totally sold on the sexy breathing. I think I'd like it better without that.

Hi Davy,

Another great rocker, I like the intro riff, and the song really pushes along, the vocals are sounding great, well balanced and nice and smooth, great song all round.

Cheers, Mikey

@cowparsleyman

Ta dude,best to leave out my love noises!  :D

@Jamie

Ta Jamie. I'd never put anything over your head man!  :D

@PaulAds

Cheers Paul,take care in the real world.  ;)

@MichaelA

I think you covered it all quite tactfully,Michael!  ;D

@redrhodie

Thanks Lynn,maybe you are right on the voice over thing. I think sometimes I'm in danger of coming across as a bit 'preachy'. In this case the voice over was an attempt to lighten the mood/inject a little humour,but I suppose all those things are very subjective!  :D

@Mikey

Cheers for yer ears Mikey,always appreciated.  :)

Take what I say with a grain of salt. I often don't get English humor, and I apparently don't get Irish humor, either. Haha. I didn't hear it that way. Definitely my problem and not the song's.

(I do have a sense of humor. Really, I do. I always laugh at funerals.)
