Written in 2014 and almost lost to time. This track was one of the earlier tracks by Towns & Cities which remained unfinished due to our laser-like focus, at the time, on pulling together enough songs, and the type of songs, that would work together in a lively and upbeat live set.

The original demos for the track were re-discovered a few years ago and it was evident that the arrangement and the lyrics were more progressed then first thought. These demos, assisted by the capabilities afforded by modern recording software, formed the starting point of this new recording.

The track has a moody feel with self-reflective lyrics and is in an alt-rock style and has a sound reminiscent of the 90s and early-2000s.

It was always a shame that this song got somewhat forgotten about during our period of song proliferation so was pleased about rediscovering the song and being able to record a version which (hopefully) does it justice.

Lyrics:
Don’t come, ‘round here, no more
Change the number, change the locks on your door
All I ever did was try and bring the rain
But you watched me fall apart again and again

Maybe it’s time for change
But right now I don’t know (let It go)
Baby I’m a hurricane
It’s not in my nature to let the little things go (by now you should know)

I saw the blue lights in the window shining bright
You looked sadder than you did in July
Don’t change, who you are anymore
I swear I don’t know what I did or what I’m fighting for

Maybe it’s time for change
But (right now) I don’t know
Baby I’m a hurricane
It’s not in my nature to let the little things go
