Arrangement, Production & Final Mix by Gordon Midgley

From the very beginning of our relationship, my wife Jo had always wanted me to write her a love letter. We have been together for 34 years and, in that time, I’ve written her 3 love songs, which she often says are very special and mean so much to her - and yet she would still remind me that she’d never had the love letter she had always wanted.  So the idea occurred to me that I would write her a love letter within a song.  I wanted to make it a surprise, so had to write it in secret, which in itself was no easy task.
Once I had something I thought worked well I decided, although possibly difficult, to play this song with it's personal expression of love to someone who I knew would give a totally honest opinion.  That person could only be my brother Gal.
By the time I sent him the secretly made demo, I’d convinced myself it wasn’t very good so it was something of a surprise when he said he absolutely loved it.

Even as I was writing the song, I always had Gordon in mind as the best person to work on it with us.  He’s such a sensitive and tasteful player and the arrangement he produced, along with Gal’s drumming, proved the perfect vehicle for the kind of ‘love letter’ I wanted it to be.  Without their consummate skills, none of the following could ever have happened.    

The original plan was to play Jo the song on Mother’s Day but I’m afraid excitement got the better of me so, on the very day Gord sent the final mix, I decided to reveal the big secret. I suggested she listen on headphones, hoping that would help give the kind of immediate intimacy and connection I wanted her to feel.  Watching her listen, I was feeling more than a little nervous but as the track continued, she grabbed my hand and started to cry and continued to do so after it had finished, telling me that she now had her love letter and that it was the most special thing ever.

It was something I’ll never forget and, as sentimental as all of this may seem, I make no apologies for this love letter to my beautiful wife Jo and the perfect moment it gave to both of us.

Dear Jo 
When we first met love at first sight I never knew
I had never felt could you to feel the same way too
Two long years to get the strength to tell how I felt
The fear inside you would smile and make life melt
Life was far too short to keep a secret to myself
When I explained you didn’t leave me on the shelf

Dear Jo, Dear Jo Dear Jo, Dear Jo
Dear Jo, Dear Jo, Dear Jo, Dear Jo,

Dear Jo 
A lifetime in your arms can never be complete
Do it all again my heart would miss a beat
Hanging by my fingertips showing I want to stay
Every single second and every second single day
A chance to tell you how much I love you I always will
Creation of a love storm, from the start we made it real

Dear Jo, Dear Jo, Dear Jo, Dear Jo
Dear Jo, Dear Jo, Dear Jo, Dear Jo

Dear Jo
We were meant to be with each other there’s no doubt 
Some tried to separate our love by loudly shouting out
Our love never about anybody else just you and me
Knowing that the end result didn’t need an apology 
Heads up looking forward three children by our side
Memories are for you and me our time machine will glide

Dear Jo, Dear Jo, Dear Jo, Dear Jo
Dear Jo, Dear Jo, Dear Jo, Dear Jo 

Dear Jo 
You always wanted me to write you a special love letter
All the words you deserve are so hard to put together 
No time to apologize for the difficulties I have caused 
Not the plan I promised and like you I am so confused 
I said many times I wouldn’t change a single thing
All my love is yours you gave my voice a chance to sing

Dear Jo, Dear Jo, Dear Jo, Dear Jo
Dear Jo, Dear Jo, Dear Jo, Dear Jo  
Dear Jo

When I was in college I got a job as a projectionist at a local movie theater. The films came in on reels and I had to take all those reels and splice them onto a huge spool, then feed them into the projectors. I remember that on Wednesday nights I had to de-splice the movies that were showing and put them back into the reels and send them along to the next theater...It usually took until about 2 or 3 in the morning. I totally remember showing 'The Shining' for a couple weeks and thinking I was seeing things in the dark on those Wednesday nights...alone...in that fucking place.

Not just drum

One of the songs that truly defined a time and a generation.

There have been quite a few interpretations of this wonderful creation submitted here on SC recently, and it's been on my "to do" list for far too long, so my little sister and I thought we'd throw our, er, "Silence" into the ring.

That's not her on the right.  Sadly, it's not me on the left either.

Punk version of the classic Beatles song.

Yesterday (Beatles cover)

Have I told you that I love you
Have I told you that I care
Have I said we’ll be together
In times of trouble I’ll be there

For the love that lies within you
In every beat of your heart
We can spend our lives together 
And we will never fall apart

In this life, that we choose
With the games that we play
It’s so hard, win or lose
But I will find the words to say

And tell you that I want you 
Forever in my arms
For each day when we’re together
No lonely nights when we’re apart

In this life, that we choose
With the games that we play
It’s so hard, win or lose
But I will find the words to say

And tell you that I love you
I will tell you that I care
And we can spend our lives together
In times of trouble I’ll be there

I’ll be there
In times of trouble I’ll be there

You have a life style
can pay those high bills.
you're so pretty and you ride
automobile
you have a life style baby
but that don't hide no ills.

you know it hurts so bad,
that we had those fights,
but now you know I'm so glad
that I was wrong and you were right.
I'm so glad that
that I'll be out of sight.

all of my heart ,
all of my soul,
you got it, and all of my talk,
like talking to the wall,
all of my love,
now I am on the Roll

Yiannis is an artist from Thessaloniki, Greece. He started studying classical guitar in the early 00's, but soon enough electric sound got him. During the next years, he's playing the guitar for the Muddy Banks -a post/ punk band-(2007-2010).At the same time, he's been a member of several other bands of the same music genre.
In 2012 he founded he's own label the "Red Vinyls”. In 2013 he released his first ep , “Take it or Leave it”! In 2017 he released his second ep "PAUSE" and that was a two years pause indeed! Finally in 2019 the game is on again releasing the new song "Get Away" part of the upcoming ep "Revolution". This new darker sound approaches the deepest fears of humanity, having high hopes to reach humility again..
Ps.
The plural of "Vinyl" is indeed "Vinyl" but we like "Vinyls" better!
