Thinking about a special person you can't see ...

CLOSE TO ME

Written 1984 by Terry Reeves
Performed by: Vocals - Terry Reeves, Guitar Terry Reeves, Bass - Brian Reeves
Recorded: Wallington Croydon London


For me George Best was the greatest player that ever lived, but suffered from being better at what he did than everybody else. 
At one time in my life I think I was within an inch of becoming an alcoholic and yes at the time it solved all my problems. I was rescued by a beautiful women but unfortunately George was not.
He was one of my greatest heroes and I spent a large amount of my early years trying to emulate some of his football skills. I was given the opportunity to meet him on two occasions and he was a really nice genuine man and I was really upset when he died.
My brother Brian and me completed this recording in one afternoon and he came up with the fantastic bass line, it was always our intention to develop it and take it further.

This is my tribute to George Best

LYRICS

Yes I drank the bottle dry
Please don't ask the question why
Just except this drunken man
Drinking for another plan

Couldn't take things in my stride
Second place it hurt my pride
Told to take some time to think
Think I'll have another drink

CHORUS

Yes he's the greatest he really has it all
The king of any man who ever kicked a ball
He makes the head lines every time he shows his face
I wonder if they know our hero up in space
If not it's just a disgrace

He's here
Georgie   
No fear

Tried to force me to retire
From the bottle I admire
Knew I'd lose out in the end
Destroying me or my best friend

Belong to no one else but me
I'm not public property
I know I have myself to blame
Life is not my favourite game

CHORUS

It's not as sad as you might think
Not looking for a missing link
And I don't need an open door 
Cause all I have to do is poor

Georgie Georgie come back Georgie
Georgie Georgie come back Georgie

Wrong Spell For Crimson Divinations My Dear Runny Angel Eye

A few years ago, I discovered a great old tune by Sneaker Pimps. Following the usual trail of breadcrumbs on YouTube, from a garage version of ‘Spin Spin Sugar’ (the Armand Van Helden remix), then on to the original, I eventually came across ‘Post-Modern Sleaze’. Highly impressed, my inevitable need to do something with it’s ideas popped up once again and I began production of this track.

As you may or may not know, I really don’t like to sample other people’s work - it started off as a phobia and it’s now just habitual. It probably weakens the quality of my work, but at least I can say “I’ve done it myself”. So, there are no vocals and I cherrypicked my favourite compositional elements, leading to a typically repetitive and fairly limited electronic adventure.

The reason that I didn’t call this track a remix is because of the enormous difference in sound and feel between itself and ‘Post-Modern Sleaze’, however, I have signposted its roots clearly with the title.

I really hope that you don’t consider me a musical thief and I’d hope that if you do, then you’ll think of me as a well intentioned Robin Hood type - it’s all done out of love.

So, enormous respect/admiration/apologies to Sneaker Pimps, who I believe are back on the scene with some relatively newish material on SoundCloud. If you have a spare few minutes, why not go over there and give some love?

Oh, I must mention the title again and assure you that the ‘LA’ reference is purely coincidental (if you believe in coincidences) and the track was already bounced and titled before I knew that Sneaker Pimps are now apparently LA based… weird.

I hope this track spins your sugar. If it does, please ‘like’, comment and repost. Massive thanks in advance.
