backer of Mike's we've worked on

some people get by with a little understanding, some people get by with a whole lot more..

Think back to when Bon Scott played his last gig with AC/DC (it’s actually this day 27.01) back in 1980 before he would succumb to an untimely death due to misadventure and remember how the world seemed less complicated and more focussed on serious issues as opposed to Tik Tok or Instagram and if we don't think we've lost something we're crazy...but if we think it's coming back anytime soon then we are complete fools. Michael Keaton in a scene from 'Birdman' is here due to his brilliant acting abilities as well as the late great John Belushi...dig Mike & John, supreme talents for sure! can you still recall in the juke box hall when the music played and the world spun round to a brand new sound in those far off days.. in their blue suede shoes they would scream and shout as they sang the blues, let it all hang out.. rock and roll...

Story behind the song

understanding anyone is complicated and complex and it's difficult to genuinely say that you actually do completely understand someone...it's just the way it is...here's the thing, how can we possibly expect to understand anyone when we don't even completely understand ourselves...

Lyrics

And so I told her a little about myself
Make her feel good
Settle down, take control

Cause I didn’t understand you
You didn’t seem that way you were before
you don’t know me

Before you judge take a look around
At these things that you don’t know
Cause you don’t know me

And before you go to ground
Maybe check it out
A search within yourself
maybe get to know me

...you didn't know me..

And so I told her a little about myself
Make her feel good
Settle down, take control

Cause I didn’t understand you (without me)
You didn’t seem all that sad before
...then, you didn’t know me (you didn’t know me)

You didn’t know me
You didn’t know me
You didn’t know, you didn’t know me

...so go on do what you like
without me...yeah

so go on do what you like
...without me

You didn’t know me, without me
...without me...you didn't know me, without me

cause I didn't understand you...

I love it! I had no idea Greg! Well done with all the added tracks. The story, tone, production, orchestration, perfect match with Mike's amazing backing.

This is a big song ... in Aural Cinemascope. The production is rich and warm. Your 'lazy, almost casual' vocals are tremendous and full of longing and regret. It seems like a song we've always known ... that is such a great thing. brilliant collab.

Mike’s tracks are such a treat musically and you have done a very nice job bringing a good story and melody to this.  Very nice cover.  I almost did this to one of mikes Travis it was so beautiful.  Words started coming. Good collab
