Trash-pop, guitar rock and melodic miscellany.
Not so much a band as a bloke with a guitar and a laptop, The Smivets deliver a genre-bending blend of pop, rock, punk, prog and many other monosyllables.

Story behind the song
This started life as another song about the weather (#1 favourite topic for Brits), but ended up turning into a soppy love song. And what's wrong with that, I'd like to know?
Lyrics
Just sitting together In a beachfront cafe Should have been in the sunshine But it's rainy and grey. South-east Spain in April Should have had some kind of guarantee; Over your cappuccino cup You raise your sad eyes to me. Needing the sun to cheer us up Is why we came away If we wanted rain, We could have stayed in the UK. But you won't hear me complaining About what the weather do, Even if it keeps on raining, As long as I can be with you. Doesn't look like we're going to take that Walk along the sand, But I'm good enough, baby, Just holding your hand. It's easy to feel good When the sun shines, But true love is strong enough To survive the bad times. Now you can't predict the weather Nor the future too But you can rely on me babe, I'll always be there for you. You won't hear me complaining About what the weather do, Even if it keeps on raining, As long as I can be with you. Now you can't predict the weather Nor the future too But you can rely on me babe, I'll always be there for you. That's why you won't hear me complaining About what the weather do, 'Cos even if it keeps on raining, I know that I can be with you.

There's a contemporary 70's feel to this one. Well performed and produced as usual.

This one must have slipped past me...I'll have to fix my radar, lol! This is first class stuff - brilliant songwriting, perfectly composed and structured...you really should submit your material to some publishers - they deserve a much wider audience. Another station add!

Excellent song Steve. Perhaps I should also say "As usual". I like the slightly dirty guitar sound (a very 'English' guitar tone). Great growly bass guitar sound. Your lyrics are always strong, and also have a wonderfully 'English', down-to-earth, feel about them. Your vocals are much higher in the mix too . . .you've a good voice, so it's good to hear it up front in the mix. Fab.
