Recorded entirely at home (I think it was my tiny rented room in Clapham North) in 1996. I borrowed a little mixer and a Fostex 8-Track reel-to-reel tape recorder to record the vocals on - there was a hell of a lot of 'audio bouncing' going on, with two blocks of multi-tracked backing vocals. The backing track was recorded on my Korg T2 (bought for me by my parents in 1987), one of the worlds first digital, 16-track sequencers - with a fabulous array of sounds.
lyrics
The truth came back to find me, a vision that could blind me -
once again, oh my friend, hello lonely once again.
You tried to make me toe the line, to step on out
to help me find a feeling - with one of a kind.
Hello lonely, you've come back home again,
hello lonely, I knew you were my friend.
Hello lonely, I tried to comprehend,
hello lonely, but some things never end...
hello lonely, once again.
They say that we are islands, you've come back into my land
once again, oh my friend, hello lonely once again.
I tried to make the quantum leap to where love conquers,
something deep and flowing, so where are we going?
Hello lonely, you've come back home again,
hello lonely, I knew you were my friend.
Hello lonely, I tried to comprehend,
hello lonely, but some things never end...
hello lonely, once again.
Yet another example of great Space Rock from ex Hawks which surpasses recent output from the mothership. Congrats to Alan for a memorable album and giving the fans what they want. farhan1
