Probably driving rain

A love song....about this world of wonder that i am so fortunate to have found, or it found me.
yea we climb from the rubble
of confusion and some pain
we are the wonder of the world
and many streets we walked of bitter pills and rain
and we…
the clock on the wall is watching the window
the shades are at half mast for what i do
there are regrets just over that horizon
but i know i know i can count on you
i think of a time when i was unwilling
the dark days i counted with a mark on…

Love it.
Nice one.
There's a few places in the vocal where I'm thinking "how did he do that? I've been trying to nick that vibe from Ian Anderson for weeks now... and I couldn't manage it!"
A cover of Justin Currie's Sleep Instead of Teardrops. Recorded 2010.
It has always been one of my favourite Del Amitri songs. I was strumming away at it one day and my missus said I should record it...

Ok, Who HASN'T had the fantasy about the hot librarian?
This was originally intended to be sung by a friend of mine with a much higher range, but a massive earthquake disrupted the schedule. I wound up singing it down an octave, trying to do…
This was originally a much longer gospel style song about meeting the devil at the crossroads and selling him my car, I got discouraged when I put down the scratch vocals and realised that no ammount of overdubs could possibly make me sound like…

Great tune.
