Notes
This song evolved over a quite a long period. The rhythm track was originally conceived by house engineers David 'Masta D' Dawood who came up with the main riff and Stef Pierlejewski who programmed the rhythm on the studio's Akai MPC4000 as a backing for a completely different song by Cathy Murphy, another young artist who was recording at GHS. I then wrote the middle 8 section and recorded Cathy's vocals but this project never got finished.

Female Vocalist Jay (aka Janine, a GHS regular) heard the rhythm and wanted it as it wasn't being used. She wrote this new song to it and Spinx provided the finishing touches to it.

It was featured on the Gorse Hill Studios "Showcase Vol 2" promo CD.
