This is a cover I did of a song by(in my opinion) one of the best bands to come out of scotland.
I put a different slant on it by sticking a lead guitar in and a bit of sequencer at the start but
tried to keep the vocal line true to the original.
It has many good memories for me growing up in glasgow and I hope I dont annoy any blue nile fans out there.

Great track mate I do not know the original but this is good.

One of my favourite Blue Nile tracks and this is an interesting take. I was surprised that it works with a fuller instrumentation and a 'rocked up' feel but it works very well indeed.

Nice one.

Don't know the original, but this sounds great to me! Well done!

possibly my favourite blue nile track, used to go into bonkers on hope street on a friday night after work, walk in the door and the deejay would put that on and hand me the mic and i'd sing along to it. couldn't hit those notes now though.

for you guys not familiar with blue nile, check them out they will change your life.
