Until now I have never even considered letting the track out to be heard. But looking through my older songs I heard it and wondered what you guys think. It would be great to read some comments on what you think. (...) Myself and Nik wrote this track together at his home in August and I went back September to finish up the vocals with Nik on backing vocals. Yes it is a complete track. I would very much like to release the whole track I just need a thumbs up from Nik".
