Many thanks to Paul for a great guitar hook and Sassygal for help with the melody construction and her great drop key harmony shadows.

After soaking up some summer heat (its 42 c here today), a bit of Elvis Costello and Jackson Browne we invited Paul around to cool things down.
All recorded on my trusty field recorder tucked away in a box in grannies garage next door. (sorry neighbours)

Hope you like.
Its about renewed/recycled relationships.
Pellas and the full multi tracked mastered stems up tomorrow when the ringing in my ears stops and the hangover abates.

Here’s the lyrics;

Started out as Friends

Remember the day
that we all started out as friends
top down gliding
cool wind riding
flying through your hair

Remember the day
when I was young without a care

cast your mind right back
right back if you dare!
We started out as friends
for the first years of our lives
infatuation ends
we were young
but so alive
We started out as friends
you flew north
beyond my sight
and that’s how the journey ends
till I heard from you last night

Remember the day
that we all started out as friends
dress delighting
pulse exciting
flowers in your hair

cast your mind right back
right back if you dare!
Remember the day
when I was young enough to care
Remember the day
you told me
told me that you care!
(I swear)

been feeling so empty
since I left you standing there
started out as friends
for the first years of our lives
now situation mends
Now grown up
gotta get it right
(gotta get it right)

cast your mind right back
right back if you dare!
We started out as friends
you moved north
I headed south
its not how the journey ends
cause your the woman with me now

cast your mind right back
right back if you dare!
We started out as friends
we were young
without a care

Don’t know where this journey ends?

We started out as friends
