A process of remixing this song happened a month or two back. Listening again to this song early this morning, it came to mind that it could work if a theme of male and female having opposite views. The lyrics above are very similar to a song I wrote lyrics for back in 1977. She Said. Little snippet of She Said was from the chorus. But it’s not suitable or working for this particular song.

The fact that I actually, for once, played a bass guitar riff in this makes it a nice change. Being a bass player, it is weird how I kind of ignore playing it in most songs. It was a fast paced riff. I do remember that I was focusing intently and hoping I didn’t make a mess of it before I got to the end of the song!

The lyrical opposites idea was something that began to get the neural pathways tingling. Maybe subliminally it was a case of echoing many songs where couples like opposing things. ‘I love The Beatles and you dig the Stones’. ‘You love to rock and roll and I love the Blues’. That sort of thing, but expanded into longer lyrical lines.

Nick Heyward and Francis Dunnery, two of my favourite writers, have written a very similar theme to songs they have recorded. Couples where their relationship is all about loving different things. So the idea is in infancy, where as the music seems okay. Just some extra little instrumental short melody enhances weaving in the out and never heard but for the once during the song.

I suppose this song’s energy is something that can be a bit addictive if the words/lyrics bring a decent story and melody into the equation.
