I had the piano riff for this one for ages before I got around to writing it. I used to just sit and play F#m to G for hours.
In the end I came up with this melancholy, nostalgic story and wrote a massive mid section which almost feels like it should be its own song.
I recorded it like it's an old song on vinyl that I start playing along with, and by the end the old song and my playing melt together with the sexy strings. It seemed to work that way, and makes it feel more like a real story rather than just a song. One day I'll make a great video for it.
lyrics
Wasn't this the swing we found in nineteen eighty-nine
When you were five and I was six?
Do you remember the time when we both ran back to my house
With rope burns on our hands
And the world seemed so big?
It does feel great to be back here again with you
But I wasn't expecting this
I guess there's a satisfying circularity
That makes this seem inevitable
But I'm gonna have to admit
I'm half-hearted over you
You made me feel things that I never really wanted to
I know you're pretty cool but I haven't really thought this through
I'm half-hearted over you
Don't you think our friends might wonder why we're going back?
I'm not so sure myself
Will everyone say we've run out of alternatives
That we've settled for second best?
Can we not find anybody else?
I'm half-hearted over you
You made me feel things that I never really wanted to
I know you're pretty cool but I haven't really thought this through
I'm half-hearted over you
We've been friends for so long now that I
Find it hard to know where to draw the line
If we're the same
Can you tell me what's changed this time?
I'm half-hearted over you
You made me feel things that I never really wanted to
I know you're pretty cool but I haven't really thought this through
I'm half-hearted over you
I'm not your Candy Girl!
It's no secret I LOVE this band and the music they are making now feels so special to me.
Garage Recordings 01 and 02 are both incredible and when you put them together you get what would be an album full of incredibleness, all done on their own terms. FRalph1976

This track was more of an experiment than anything. We don't have much gear in our garage and so trying to record a real pop song with one SM57, the arm of a deck chair and a box of nails can be quite challenging. Luckily though we picked up a harmonium from a car boot sale for 30quid. We also bought a wacky autotune pedal from the internet and deliberately manned up the autotune. Irony and sincerity. Our friends Dark Furs and BCATG have remixed the track. Buy their music too. :-) Juju Sophie
