Description

Remix of a song about someone who was murdered by her boyfriend. I found out about it years after the event, so she was still alive in my imagination all that time.
It was very strange to hear about it the way I did, and the feeling haunted me. It still does, in fact.

Lyrics

I was talking to a friend
I heard that you had gone
A jealous guy took you down with a borrowed gun

I saw you at the window
Your eyes were shining in your face
There was no time for a last embrace

	I didn't do it You know how you can replace a broken fanbelt with a ladies' stocking? Well, a similar principal applies with guitars and cheap Chinese nylons. Thank you for the kind words. --- "You read him his rights while I shave his legs." Check out my latest song called Deep Depths

	Gun slinger/lost love country Folk Rock Really interesting sound. Very cool textures, and, man, you can really tune that cheap guitar and get some mellow sounds out of it. Wonderful guitar layers. Excellent sounding track, but it seems strange (and sad) to place it in Pop. What about Folk Rock? Check out my latest song called Forge A New Life (MJRF)

Gun slinger/lost love country Folk Rock
Thanks, Tobin. It's very nice to get such comments from someone whose work I admire.
To be honest, I'd forgotten that there was a folk rock category, as I was thinking about Gordon Lightfoot's "The way I feel" by Sandy Denny's Fotheringay when I wrote it. I'll recategorise it if I can.
Well done on the radio show, incidentally. I believe MacJams and its denizens are really going places.
