about

Love can pass you by was the song that started this project really, I wrote it way before the others. It’s probably the most personal song I’ve ever written, it’s about my mother, about our life and how I think it’s harder to love than hate. The easy thing to do is to hate on others, the hard thing to do is to love them anyway even if you don’t agree with their world outlook or opinions. Maybe it should have been called ‘Don’t let love pass you by’ but there you go. Will Blackaby and Zoë Mead put some wonderful backing vocals down on this one (as they did throughout the EP) that really lift it, it also has my favourite bass tone on the EP. All the bass was actually recorded on a guitar and pitched down. Not out of choice, but because I didn’t have a bass at home. I had intended to re-record it all using an actual bass but liked how it turned out so left it, another happy accident.

lyrics

You used to tell me about the good times
And I always thought that you would be fine
But I’ve been worried about you lately
The only thing I’ve learnt in this life
Is love can pass you by

You used to tell me about your father
And all the times he was a fucker
But I’ve been thinking about it lately
The only thing I’ve learnt in this life Is
love can pass you by

You never told me about the burden
Three grand below the iron curtain
But I don’t worry about it lately
The only thing I’ve learnt in this life
Is love can pass you by
Yeah, love can pass you by
