I had an embarassing moment of being the only person at an 'indie disco' in Birmingham not so long ago who appeared to know this song,I was like 'drunken mum at the wedding disco' on the dancefloor alone. Mind you I was probably the only person over the age of 17 too.... Hope you are well young man. x
Hey Paul, I never get on here these days, but I got a day off today, so I thought I'd pop on and say Hi! I hope things are swell with you, and look forward to maybe seeing you soon(ish) Great track. As always. Sarah x
