So Far (Collab with The Editors)

(1/5) > >>

pompeyjazz:
So I was in a 4 piece band called "The Editors" from 1979 until 1982 and got the chance to work with 3 of the other guys just recently. The drummer was missing so we took the only set of lyrics that he ever wrote and composed a new number based on them to make it a true 4 way collab - it's pretty reflective of the stuff that we were doing live at the time I think.....



I've got a new flat, I've got a smart car
But I ain't had no luck with you so far
I guess there will be some other guy
Who will turn you on with the blink of an eye

So far – Ain't you
So far – I guess it's true
So far – I ain't got time
So far – You're just not mine

I just can't stand it no more this way
Is there anything that's going to make you stay
Tell me what want and I'll give you the rest
I'll give you anything cos baby you're the best

So far – Ain't you
So far – I guess it's true
So far – I ain't got time
So far – You're just not mine

Break

Rpt chorus x 2

Jambrains:
Love this! Straight to the point, no-nonsense rock. Them toms in the chorus are lovely as are the claps (and the guitar solo)
Maybe a little more "dirt" in the guitars would work? But just a little then.
back for another spin, well done guys!

Hi @pompeyjazz
I am still rocking... It's the first song I listen to this morning and it made me dancing... Too much for me under that summer degrees hahahaha

The sound is perfect, pure rock band style!!!

@pompeyjazz
Hi John, very nice rocking' song. Had a touch of the 60's about it, Billy J Kramer or Gerry and the Pacemakers maybe :P. A very authentic feel to it!

Cheers
Jamie

PeteS:
Great song John!  Agree with what's been said, hint of 60s but definitely not stuck in the past and the toms are a real change for the chorus.

Was a bit disappointed it wasn't the other Editors though  ;D ;D

Good work!
