We are made of memories. Some moments define us. Maybe this is the one.

Trash-pop, guitar rock and melodic miscellany.
Not so much a band as a bloke with a guitar and a laptop, The Smivets deliver a genre-bending blend of pop, rock, punk, prog and many other monosyllables.

Story behind the song
Pure prog rock, no apologies. Sometimes you find yourself in the perfect moment... For me this was emerging from a plane, following a flight fom cold wet England, to be greeted by dazzling sun and a hot breeze blowing from a gorgeous blue ocean. Oh yes thought I - this is the best thing ever. But it could just as well apply to anything - I hope it makes you smile. Don't try to dance to it though - in typical prog fashion the intro is in 21/8 & 19/8 time - you're likely to dislocate something important.
Lyrics
This place, This scene - It's the best thing ever. It's the best thing ever. This feeling, This vision of the dream - It's the best thing ever. It's the best thing ever. It's the best thing. And we hold on. And we hold on to it And keep it in our hearts forever. No matter what they take from us Or try to grind us down, We can never forget this. We will always have this. Though we know that we can never go back Or recapture moments that have gone, We are made of memories: Some moments define us And this is one. Maybe this is the one: The best thing ever. It's the best thing ever. It's the best thing. And it's you. It's you: It's always been you. You're the best thing ever.

This is an EPIC. Wow ! there are so many good things happening on this wide ranging song. Fabulous playing, production, songwriting and concept. The song really builds up and pulls the listener in, and takes you for a ride and a half. Very very good Steve. To think that this is the work of just one guy ?! :)
