The Stars Tonight (2025)
Stronger Than The Sun (2000). The original version of this song was recorded in a friends lounge-room on a Tascam 4 track. A single take on the second run through the song. We had just gotten together for a day of playing through whatever came to mind. I had just written this so I threw it out for some feedback and everyone there just jumped on board and this was the result. Myself and Gordon Slattery on guitars. Kim Stubbs, Michael Slattery and Gordon on BV’s. Again a reasonably long song. This recording picks it up about two verses and a chorus in. It was at that stage a work in progress and I was never really happy with the verses so (ha ha) that’s why they’re not on the original take. Twenty-five years have gone by so I guess it was about time to finish it off.
