After 18 Years, I decided to give this song another go. Cheers!

Candy girl, sweet-sugar sick taste
Pure white with an optimist's embrace
Carries on even when she gets knocked down
She stands right up, takes another look around...she looks around

Now Candy girl don't give in easy
She takes heart where others might give in
Pulls a grin, life's bitch does her best to wilt her
She sits right there, does her best to filter it out...she filters it out

After the letdown...letdown
She Cried
After the letdown...letdown
She Cried

Burnt her fingers, her soul destroyed her
Poor Candy, she ain't all that she was
Took a knock tryin to fight in her latest corner
She fell right down, just another forlorn girl....a poor forlorn

After the letdown...letdown
She Cried
After the letdown...letdown
She Cried

Her tears are for real
Nothing will heal, no more, it's over

After the letdown...letdown
She Cried
After the letdown...letdown
She Cried

After the letdown...letdown
She Cried
After the letdown...letdown
She Cried

Her tears are for real
Nothing will heal, no more, it's over...

Hope Enjoy!

Wow Nick, great to hear this MCS classic given a spit and polish job.

Super performances, and a solid mix.

If I may nitpick, I think the mix is a tad light on the bass, which could be brought up a bit in level or presence.

Thanks Andy!

I actually figured out the midi to the bass to put some sub on it. But then thought it was ok.  ;)
