about

DAVE. For me, I love the tune on the verse on this track. Very memorable. It all chugs along very nicely and the instrumental section works well with Rick filling up the space that's left by a high bit of bass playing by me with keyboards. The throwing down, not in a stroppy way, of the drumsticks at the end says "that's it, finished."

RICK. You Still Mean Something To Me, to my ears sounds like classic Strookas. Dave plays bass, so I'm just messing about with keys and backing vocals. I think we recorded these songs more or less in the order.

JOHN. This is the final song of the trilogy. The friendship is still going strong, The riff reminds me of Put it on the Shelf, a Strookas' song from 1986! The sound of drumsticks being placed onto the floor tom at the end is the sound of personal triumph! The drumming for all 14 tracks was recorded in one day in under 10 hours. I then had the pleasure of putting me trotters up and listening to Dave and Rick work on the music over the following few months until it was time for me to record the vocals.

lyrics

A NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION
BURNING EMBERS
RUINED FROM THE START
I HAD NO TIME WITH YOU
ANTICIPATION WAS BURNING
THROUGH MY HEART
I NOW KNOW WHY
YOU ACT LIKE YOU DO
YOU STILL MEAN SOMETHING TO ME
TRYING TIMES YOU MOVED
BUT I REMEMBER
ALL THE FUN WE HAD
WASTING TIME ON YOU
IT'S NOW DECEMBER
GUESS IT'S TIME TO ACT
