Bob's contemplative lyric set to music by the old firm of Smithie, Henry and myself.
Billy and SteveC contributed stellar parts on piano and drums respectively to complete the sound.
Smithie set up a wonderful vocal, and Henry was brilliant with his guitar parts, arrangement ideas and a wonderful mix/master.
Cheers
