about
I tried something different for the title track..DADGAD tuning...Never experimented with it before. I got a nice little riff going and built the song from there, but I honestly don't have a clue what chords I'm playing ! Even to this day ! I found a bassline that fitted over it and worked it from there. I think It's got a touch of REM about it in places. I wanted it to be an upbeat song lyrically, and just liked the phrase " I feel your warmth with every setting sun ".. The rest of the lyrics came to me when I was just walking around the rather grim estate I live on in Manchester...Winter time, curtains closed..pressure on everyone with Xmas..Then i turned it into something positive with the chorus and let the song run for a while at the end over the same riff..coz i liked it ! And that, I guess...is the album !
lyrics
Over complicate, when it's getting late
I need you on the scene, Need you on the scene..
Overloaded brain, listening to the rain.
I need you on the scene, Need you on the scene..
I don't know if you can make it right,
I wouldn't bet against you, 'specially tonight,
When you gonna call ? When you coming round?
I need you on the scene, Need you on the scene..
Save a life Angel . I feel your hope when everything is gone,
I come alive Angel. I feel your warmth with every setting sun..
Lonely in the town. Winter's coming down,
Close the curtains tight, never see the light..
How much have you got? Give us what you've got..
Money is the God, Money is the God..
I don't know if you can make it right,
You know I'm getting tired, tonight could be the night,
When you gonna call ? When you coming round?
I need you on the scene, Need you on the scene..
Save a life Angel . I feel your hope when everything is gone,
I come alive Angel. I feel your warmth with every setting sun..
Sun , Sun, Setting sun..
Sun , Sun, Setting sun..
Save a life Angel . I feel your hope when everything is gone,
I come alive Angel. I feel your warmth with every setting sun..
With every setting sun, Every setting sun..
