You'll Never Know - final of the four songs we filmed back in May, with me singing and MGQ playing.
This is beautifully paced "late night" jazz. A slow four, held back and teased to within an inch of its life. Glistening piano from Chris, lovely little bass work from Tom, some splendidly gentle brushwork from George, Dan at his subtle best on guitar, and (eventually) Stephen adds some beautifully mellow alto. You can feel the melancholy reaching out to bite you.
This asks you to take time and wallow; "Forever" wanted you to dance for joy; this needs you to hold on to your partner for dear life and never let go. Or just see the bottom of your glass remains safely covered over with something golden. Ain't mood music grand?
