UPdate 20/6/11: Steffen's new remix added to this post!
Hi MCS,

Another one of my oldies - and once again it took Holger's persuasive powers to convince me to offer this track up for collaboration.

A lot of my mates jumped in to help, which makes this very special. It never fails to amaze me how the many talents on MCS take my songs to another dimension!!

Holger did a scintillating vocal, once again channelling his inner Lennon, while Bill (r4m) played some super guitar lines including a smoking solo and a great Harrison/Clapton Chet Atkins like duet at the end.

Billy, Steve (Albino) and J provided solid support through their parts on acoustic guitar, drums and piano, many thanks!

Special thanks to Steffen for chiming in with cool SFX and synthesizer parts and for a solid mixing/mastering job on this song. Steffen is a very talented and patient person :).

Thanks for listening!

The Cast:

Holger Bremer: Vocals
Bill Gifford: electric guitars including solos
Billy Playle: acoustic guitar
Jay Schankman:piano
Steve Smith:drums
Steffen Offerman:SFX, synthesizer, mixing/mastering
Andy Gupta: lyrics, music, hammond organ, bass

Love isn't gonna give up on you

Win, lose, tie or draw
Doesn't really matter you give it your all
If it's a case for love you never lose
Love isn't gonna lose out on you

If you think love
If you want love
If you need love you've got to open up your heart
If you live love
If you dream love
If you dig love love is gonna flow on through

Outro:
If its a case of love....

Nice to see this in the finished section.
Thanks Andy for asking me to play.

And at risk of repeating Steffen, great job by everyone else. I especially loved the drums  ::)

This is a marvelous track Andy... :)

For me, this sounds sooo McCartney! It's like an early "Wings" track got somehow lost, but is now found...

Holger's vocal is a triumph, and the Steffen's mix is perfect!

Billy, Bill, Jay, Steve, my congrats this is "excellent by any standards" Cheers! 8) Johnny

Thanks so much Johnny - I'd be happy if any of my songs evoke Beatles or ex-beatles like comparisons :)

Yeah, the guys, did a great job, as usual!
Cheers
Andy

Thanks so much Bill :).

Your guitar parts are sublime, great solo and love that Clapton/Harrison meets Chet Atkins-esque outro!!

With Holger singing we cant help but sounding Beatles like :).

Cheers
Andy
