about

So - my daughter, Kerry, and I were going to perform an acoustic support at Cairo's gig last month in Milton Keynes, and we were all disappointed not to be able to run the gig.

Since then - needless to say - the world has pressed the pause button, so we decided to do the duet on one song between two different locked down households and send it out to everyone, using a comb; tracing paper and my best audio and video efforts!

Kerry's vocal and video was recorded on her mobile phone at her home, and sent through to me, and I literally warbled straight into an SM58 mic and played the piano.

I give you our rough and as ready as it can be acoustic lockdown version of Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars", which we hope you enjoy, as much as we enjoyed making it.

Thanks to Deborah for the idea of us singing it, in the first place.

Somehow the song seems appropriate right now...

Do share as you see fit.

Take care; keep safe - and let's all stay at home to support our fantastic NHS. All proceeds from this download will go to the NHS.

lyrics

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
