ahhh...life breathed into an old tune...may not have performed it, but the essence of the tune and the band lives on in here. Liked the mix...great drums...bass in up front...rhythms guitars off to the sides...vocal set smoothly into the mix...taking this one out for a test drive with a new band?  Liked hte chord sustained at 2:48 and the shift in attitude at that point...spoken poetry...comes back around in the chorus...great new life in this tune...kudos on the remaster :)

indie goodess though and through, really like these vocals

beautiful song, great beat and lyrics and superb vocals!

Great quality in both interpretation and sound.

An old rehearsal song from a band that never did any gigs that I liked and have tried to breathe new life into. Master and mixed by @gary-brady at Total Thrive Productions.

Words:
The light is reflected through a lens and burned on
As a snapshot in time
Turn the pages, see the ageing faces
That put the dead into line
 
It’s up to you
It’s up to me
We’ll take it down to the wire
The starting gun won’t hold you up
 
Don’t try hard to fight
The battles won you know that could have stopped the war
Only God knows
 
The past lies all chequered, a chorus for the ages 
So leave those flags far behind
All these maybes, they just drive me crazy
Just beat the clocks down to size
 
Do you hear me? Am I speaking in tongues?
You think I’m a joke
But the joke’s on you
What goes around you son of a gun
I’m not coming alone
A duo, not a solo
Walk in calm solitude
I dig your son of a gun

Down to the wire

Inspired by the early nineties music of Brad, Satchel, Mudhoney, Sonic Youth, Slint and Stone Temple Pilots - to name a few - plus the soulful voice of the massively underrated, and much missed, Shawn Smith. 

Rocking and rolling with an independent spirit. Keep on keeping on.
