The first complete recording. Far from perfect, mind you. The guitar got too loud, I tried to mask it by means of the equalizer. I adopted the text here and there and added the lift that I had scrapped before. And I decided to use the whole line from the chorus as its title. In the seventies the Rolling Stones danced with Mr. D. - in 2013 I refuse to do so:

Can I just check is Mr D, death or the devil?

Death is the one you dance with, the devil is inside you ;-)

Bernd,

I liked this song a lot. I agree about the guitar but you knew that already. I'm looking forward to hearing the finished version.

My only suggestion would be to change the first line to "I've know you for a while." It sounds more natural. Luckily it has the same number of syllables, one.

It is a very good song and one some of the older members of the forum can appreciate.

Thanks, diadem,

I took your advice ("for" instead of "since"). You can hear it in the 'official' version - it's the same link.

Cheers,
Bernd

Bernd,

I think the mix is better. The change in the lyric works as well.

I think its a great song. It has me tapping my foot as I sit in front of the computer.
