Even when you go
There are things you'll always know
I'm thinking of you now
You're the one who showed me how
I'll never let you go
Because I know you know how I feel
Even when you go
Even when we fight
Even when it's every night
I still have love inside
Love thats run away to hide
I can't let it go
Because I know you know how I feel
Even when you go
Middle Eight
There are times
When we throw up our arms in despair
Even then
You know and I know
That we have a lifetime to share
So even when your sad
Even when I drive you mad
Don't give up on me
It's not as bad as it could be
Never let it go
Try and let me know how you feel
Even when you go
Instrumental Verse
Repeat Middle Eight
Repeat Last Verse
Even when you go
Even when you go
Even when you go
An ode to my wife after an arguement, this was an early attempt to write a 'Beatlesque', 2 to 3 minute, boy/girl pop tune in early 60s style. It's not a great demo by any means, quickly done in a mate's studio on a lunch break between meetings in London, so it's here just to hear how the song goes. (One day I'll get around to doing a decent version hopefully)
It's a pretty standard structure, but with the refrain at the end of each verse, rather than in a stand alone chorus. The title melody is "inspired" by the guitar riff from 'Here I Stand' by The Milltown Brothers which was a favourite tune of mine around this time, and the rest followed on from there :)
But my favourite part of this song is the 'middle eight', which is actually a 'middle twelve' in this case. The Beatles had some great middle eights and a good one can really make the tune
And it was fun to get the phrase "throw up" into a romantic pop song :)
