| A somber and melancholic song based
around a clumsy guitar line. On the original demo of this I not only played
the guitar parts (one of the first times I had attempted this) but I also
tapped out the drum parts on the pads of the pss-51. This later version
still has real guitar but the drums were programmed into the mc-303 groovebox
but kept fairly low key and down in the mix allowing the strings to build
in waves growing the tension but ultimately taking the song back down to
it's conclusion.
The song itself is about loss and coming to terms with it. When I hear
it now I think subconsciously I was writing about my Grandmother, who was
someone I always felt I had an emotional link to. She died not long after
my Grandfather and I'd always promised I'd spend more time with her after
his death but never did, something I will always regret. So I guess this
song is trying to come to terms with that regret, it's how I imagine she'd
want me to remember her
