And it all started from the good ol’ Amy Pond, Doctor Who‘s companion portrayed by the Scottish talented and marvellous actress Karen Gillan. That’s because a dear friend of mine (Kaypea Porsch, DJ from Cambridge’s Dandelion Insanity Radio for a show called Protozoa) challenged myself to write a love song in a shoegaze style. I asked THE BEST ONE for help me on that task, that is Jonathan Hart, a friend of mine who used to play guitar for a band in Leed called Kiara Elles. I just closed my eyes and pretended to have Karen (don’t know HOW) in my bed. It wasn’t hard at all! I was surprised when I passed the first demo to Jonny and I listened to the complete version with his guitars. Just few second and I was jawdropped and totally knocked out. It was like having Mick Ronson playing a forgotten hit from Ziggy Stardust in my headphones!
“And now? What we’re gonna do with that? Do you realize that it’s a hit?”. “What do you think we’ll do in these days? We’ll let it free on the web…” So now me and Jonny are working on “Hit #2″. It was my “Hatherley” saying the nicest thing about that one. She was watching Breaking Bad when she thought the song was part of the show! That made my day!
lyrics
Your smile so fine
the perfect place to ride
and drive to your green
eyes you set my mind on fire
drowning dreams into my rhymes
your long red hairs are just wires
connecting my desire
and I get to know much more
‘bout my new love
I guess I’m fond on
so come along Pond
Still lost in time and space
The very day you came
A crack into my life
Has thorn my heart apart
5 minutes seem too long
when it’s you I rely on
to cure my erratic state
I want you home to talk
about my new love
I guess I’m fond on
so come along Pond
Still lost in time and space
The very day you came
A crack into my life
Has torn my heart apart
5 minutes seem too long
And I’m wondering…
Are you gonna be
and be, and see
the one
from that kissogram
do tell her all
about my new love
I guess I need you
so come along Pond
