I've recorded this song before. This is the version I am happy with. I love Liam McKahey's backing vocals. My first response, after he sent them to me, was to tell him I might get him to re-do them as it wasn't what I originally intended. But after 24 hours I had been able to remove myself enough from my original intentions to hear his contribution with more clarity. His backing vocals were much better than what I had planned. He is a fantastic singer.

The Bodies, fronted by Liam McKahey from Ireland, are one of the best acts in Australia. I've seen these guys live and they're phenomenal. Liam's a first rate songwriter and this record is great. Konrad Lenz
