Modern Vintage Acoustic Live

9 June 2024 Deborah Curtis & Hamish Cowie

A demo of a song I wrote for John Lennon and included as bonus track on my latest album, Louder Than Sound, available from Bandcamp: https://thisisblake.bandcamp.com/album/louder-than-sound

A Heart Play

See the boy who sleeps right through the day
He’s the boy who knows he’s lost his way
Takes his pills and goes back out to play

See the girl with the seashell eyes
She’s the girl who’ll take him by surprise
She’s the one who’ll see right through his lies

Going their way
One day at a day
A heart play

She’s the one who gives him a fresh start
She’s a woman with a faithful heart
She’s the one whose world will fall apart

He’s the boy who has to bare his soul
He’s the boy who lives for rock n roll
She’s the girl who has to let him go

Singing their way
Until the last day
A heart play

He’s a man who has it all to do
He’s someone who tried to make it through
They’re the boys whose dad they barely knew

We’re the people living in the past
We’re the ones obsessing with the cast
He’s the one whose voice will always last

Taken away
A life in a day
A heart play

Imagine a way
We live for today
A heart play

A Heart Play (demo)

In the days before, I don’t know if I understood
When you said what you said, when I first saw you
In the John Peel bar that night 

In the days before, I knew I loved you, as soon as you spoke 
And there was nothing we needed to say
That night, at the Camden Palace St Valentine’s 

And we will not grow old; and we will not diminish 
And we will not be aged by the corrosive agents of time
We will not be stained by the filth of degradation
Nor crushed by the humiliation of indignity   
And we will endure, and we will be constant
And we will carousel in the wheel of time
And we will swim in the eroticism of beauty
And we will lie in the cradle of our ancestors  
And there we will continuously be reborn
Until the last time,
When we will be seen, to have survived.

A lot of people, myself included, have commented on the similarities between "Under The Westway" and "A Whiter Shade Of Pale", but until I tinkered, I hadn't realised *exactly* how close they were - same tempo, same key (C major, I think)... although Blur cut the last bar of each verse three measures short to achieve a rolling, overlapping effect.

Didn't need to do more than a minute for you to get the idea... 

I do like "Westway" a lot, and, well, "Whiter Shade" was heavily influenced by Bach, so as usual, round and round the riffs we go...
