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…

Ooh no - I can't claim credit for this one. Justin Currie of Del Amitri wrote it. The original is absolutely GORGEOUS :-) (even makes me cry)

That melody is rip-your-heart-out gorgeous. Tear-jerking evil man.

Del Amitri.... I only know their one big hit, I presume, here in America. But you may have turned me onto their music a bit more.

Nice rendition here. Curries music was a big influence this past year for me. I am glad someone else enjoys it also.
