we wanted to give this an Andrew Eldritch/Bowie feel complete with a haunting goth vibe - essentially this is Goth Rock (also, borrowing from Rog's KAOS announcer intro type thing)

...some people get by with a little understanding, some people get by with a whole lot more...

think back to when Mick and Keith wrote this brilliant classic off their seminal Lp 'Exile' and if we don't think we've lost something special then we're crazy...and if we think that era is coming back anytime soon then we are complete fools...

Story behind the song
I told John (Matteson) his slide guitar reminded me of Robert Fripp from the 'Berlin/Heroes' period - so I used samples I had of John's previous work with a deliberate intent to 'Fripp' the veritable out of this, lol! His guitar gives a menacing vibe throughout.
Lyrics
When the night comes Will you still be here with me? And when the night comes Will you still think much of me? Much of me Cause I know you baby I know you're super bad You drive 'em crazy Waitin' round for the next best fad Somethin' close to maybe I need to let you know Think they want you baby Even if its just for show And when the sky falls Does that ever set you free? Set you free...like me? Here it comes, here comes the night Here it comes, here comes the night Cause when the flag flies There won't be much to see Cause when the flag flies It's over for you and me Cause I know you baby Cause I know you baby

Wow, this is a real 'tour-de-force', of moody Goth guitars and Bowie styled vocals. The guitar tone and the solo...wow. This is absolutely awesome ... off the scale sound and production. Fantastic.

Wow! What a fantastic song - what a pro sound! You really get that 90s goth / doom thing down. Cult. Paradise Lost. Sisters of Mercy. Excellent vocal, awesome bass sound, guitars are unreal - GREAT solo, and the whole tune is exceptionally well written and produced. Loved it!
