Chris Carry

I wrote and recorded this on the 17th March (St Patrick's Day!). The weather had been awful from Jan to March (indeed its been woeful all year as I type this in July '23 (with an exception for 3 weeks across May and early June when it was quite lovely - our summers appear to have moved up from August over the years!). I remember wanting to specifically write a tune using major 7th chords e.g. CMaj7, FMaj7 and DM7. It developed a bit as I wrote it and I really loved the melody as it began to take shape.
I feel people think I'm bullish*tting when I say I stepped up to the mic and the words came straight out nearly as exactly as they are in the lyrics below. I plucked this one out of the ether - it was sitting there waiting for me.
I wrote the chorus first (I know, because it's the first thing on the written page) and then the verses appeared one after the other as quickly as I could keep up with the words forming in my head.
I rarely ever have anyone else on my albums but I knew this song would benefit with the addition of something a little special, so I asked Alex would he put a solo on it for me. He did, and it's the middle solo and the last guitar you hear as the song fades. Nice work from junior.
