– this may not sound like a song based on truth but it is. I must have been 19 or so and I would wait endlessly for her sitting on the university steps; and then not talk to her. eventually I did, but that’s another song…
I added some bits and pieces but really it’s a straight guitar vocal thing. The guitar is tuned down a bit because I wrote it late at night. Everyone was asleep so I was whispering and the next day I realised it was too high for me – love it though – best thing I’ve written all year!
