This song came about very quickly. I woke early on Thursday (yesterday 2/4/2020) morning about 5.30am. I almost exclusively write songs in my head before I touch an instrument. the chorus came to me at abvout 6am and the entire song was complete by 8am. After breakfast I dived in the studio, worked out the chords from the melody in my head and the entire song was recorded and mixed by 4pm (I usually never rush songs, sometimes they sit in my head half finished for months). This moring (Friday 3/4/2020) I did my usual trick of fucking around with stuff and completey rerecorded the guitar, then final mixing and mastering all done by 4.30pm. In keeping with the speed of the whole operation I decided to release the song straight away, and, here it is, it's rough and ready, but that's how it's meant to be - Enjoy.

The song is a dark but slightly tongue in cheek look at the gentrification of Manchester (could be equally applicable to Lower East Side Manhatten or any other town/city) and how much a city I was once very fond of has changed almost beyong recognitioon for many reasons , some for better, some for worse.
