I\u2019m quite happy with the way it came out.  It\u2019s very much a groove song compared to WSOYB, and my version is much funkier and jazzier than the original.  Instrumentally it\u2019s a blend of bass and drums, keys and guitar, with a sax jamming out over everything.  It\u2019s got a great chord progression that lends itself to the John Coltrane sheets of sound approach, so I managed to work a little of that in.  The lead vocal is a single track with no harmonies, and like the vocal delivery.  On the original version there were some backing vocals, so I ended up adding a synth part on the chorus to take up that space.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well the exciting thing that happened this week was that Lizzy came home for a visit.
