She didnt even get to say goodbye, Didnt get to see the tears that they she cried, She had just young love in her eyes, towing the bad boys line line He turned her on like no one else before, She was his slave , je t'aime dámour .....When she walked the steets at night , Even after her first hit, still never felt right.... ....solo.... Still didnt feel right....Never felt right....Ohh yeah Welcome back to candy town , theres a few of us left but some have gone to ground There´s no escape Since your man left town , dont hesitate , coz I´m your man now No ones comming to rescue you, I´m gonna love you much more than he do , I wont let you down, So long you walk the streets in my town ….

mark skinner Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) Cool song Paul. I was surprised by your vocal range ! Great guitar playing and tone . I especially liked the section around 2:16 , It seemed to have a Tom Petty (ish) quality. Very Nice work as usual Enjoyed the listen .. mark Edited October 9, 2023 by mark skinner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noynekker Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Hey Paul . . . rock solid tune (and drums !) on this one ! Something about the electric guitar sound and it's chord changes really stands out special for my ears, as well as your vocals, you've always got good vocals. For a "pre mix down" I think you've captured a very large band, with a very balanced sound . . . my main mix advice would be, don't mess with that too much ! Just a solid song, much respect, might be one of my favs of yours (hmm, maybe except for A Moonlight Flit) very much enjoyed ! Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bush Posted October 11, 2023 Author Share Posted October 11, 2023 Hi Chaps , thanks for the encouraging comments , I really enjoyed recording this one , once again I never know where its going . I was looking for a chorus and a hook but it just didnt arise so I just went with it as it is , And thanks Bruce (much easyer to write than noynekker ) thats good advice as i`ve just finished the mixdown , All it needed was a tickle of both Eq and a little bit of tube emulator no compressor and that was it , funny you should mention ``Midnight flit´´ thats the most hit on song`s in my catalogue , I dont understand why really its not a pop song or a catchy tune ..so there`s still a place for songwriting after all , cheers Paul 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve@baselines.com Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Awesome! I love this style. Over the past month or so, I watched a few of those YouTube videos about Kensington - I knew things were bad these days, but had no idea how far we had fallen. Great lyrics and I love the music changes when the 'She didn't even get to say goodbye,' part started. Great job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Steve If you scoll through you`ll find the Kensington Avenue master mixdown , Its certanly better than this mix , and yes Its a sorry state down there every city has its own Kenny town ....very difficult to manage ...lets face it these people dont vote .....so I dont see politicians doing a great deal .......cheers paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
