Do it!

Was that really January?

Later that same year, I got around to finishing this.

Had to re-write some of Kurt's darker lyrics but I tried to keep the structure.  I'm really pleased with the result, hope you enjoy too...

Come As You Are
Come as you are, as you were,
As I want you to be
As a friend, as a friend, 'cause I want you with me.
Take your time, but hurry up
The choice is yours, don't be late.
Take a rest, as a friend, for a warm memoria
Memoria [x3]

Come to the park,
to the beach
As I want you with me
As a friend, as a friend, for a good memoria
[Good] Memoria [x3]

And I swear that we'll have a lot of fun...
Yes, well have a lot of fun

[Good] Memoria [x4]

And I swear that we'll have a lot of fun...

[Good] Memoria [x2]
Overdrive - Distortion - Hyperactivity
Yesterdays shatter, tomorrows don't matter

Inspired! A great fun listen. Some great counter melodies going on with the keyboard parts. Very nicely done.

You got me nodding in time with this. Upbeat with a positive feel that is appropriate to the lyric.

Rude boys! Great version Nick! Never imagined a ska version of that but works really well. My first band in 1979 was a punk/ska cover band. Always enjoyed a bit of ska and this is a fine example.
