The usual PBGB Shed story..........somebody has a riff, a melody or a snatch. Somebody else has a set of lyrics waiting for music. Or vice versa. Bits and pieces.
"Nothing's What It Seems" started with Manny bringing in a fully formed guitar piece that we really liked. We fooled about with it for a while, and settled on a drum and bass feel that we figured worked pretty well. Graham had a set of lyrics that he thought would work well with the tune. Mick fired up his vocal chords and gave them a crack. Voila !
Sounded good to us.
Neil turned on the recorder, and before long we had the basic tracks of the whole song down.
Manny added a rhythm guitar track. Neil tightened up the bass track.
Done.
The story line is one of lost love. "We had it good, mutual desire, someone came along and put out the fire". After the fire goes out there is drinking, black dog depression, shattered dreams, and nothing's what it seems. A story too many of us can relate to.
Anyway, have a listen by clicking HERE
Hope yasall dig it !
Manny Aigner wrote the music and played the guitar parts
Graham Brown wrote the lyrics
Mick Nadin sang the song and played harp
