about

Deadline: Wed 27th May 2020

Would really like to thank my collaborators in Thirds for arranging this track with me. It started life called 'A Million Pounds' and concerned itself with a rambling dream about winning a million pounds whilst waiting for a Thomas Truax appearance on the Adam Buxton podcast to finish so I could play a live gig with Lobelia Lawson where the audience fell in love with each other.

Ahem... breathe...

Thirds took this incoherence and turned it into this Wall of Sound meets Wilco number, 'See You Soon'. I love the groove on the bridge and the outtro. It took the themes of playing a live show and became my paean to the feel of playing a gig, to looking my fellow musicians in the eye and the joy you get from making music in the same room as someone.

Big thanks to Joe Beech for lending his Les Paul to me too so I could attempt some lead guitar at the end (not something I do often). Daz W heard an 'Impossible Germany' vibe in there somewhere and encouraged me to try something. Hopefully it's close.

Only regret I have is losing the lyric...
Louis Theroux
Said "Thomas you
Got cult appeal
And that is all you need to be great"

I think I'll upload the demo so you can hear how much it changed.

lyrics

Last night I dreamt we played a real live show
Last night I dreamt that we all sang the same tune
Last night I dreamt that we all fell in love
Last night I dreamt that I would see you soon

Last night I dreamt that we were face to face
Last night I dreamt that we were in the same room
Last night I dreamt that we were understood
Last night I dreamt that I would see you soon

Please understand me
Yeah my ideas seems crystal clear to me
My intent gets lost
Wires gets crossed
We miscommunicate
Yeah crystal fills with mud and inkblots

But this connection we share
Flying through the air
Yeah We can work together
Cos I can hear your voice
And I can read your words
But given the choice I choose to
See your expression
Up close
Get it first hand
It’s the only way to truly understand each other’s
Mistakes
Oh them’s just the breaks
But all of the risks we take will all work out
When we’re in the room together

Last night I dreamt we played a real live show
Last night I dreamt that we all sang the same tune
Last night I dreamt that we all fell in love
Last night I dreamt that I would see you soon
