  • @Tragickapital

    Mauds is so good though, to be fair! I must start hanging out there, lol!

  • true. I've been producing music for over 25 years and have worked with many many "famous" musicians over the years... Duke Special is special, a rare talent and has clearly made the world a little bit brighter place by sharing his talent and creativity with us all... :-)

  • Saw Duke Special supporting Crowded House at the NEC Birmingham, fell in love with the voice, the music and especially this song - still one of my favourties. Shaz x

  • @Shazivy I really wanted to go to that. I didn't have the cash at the time though :(

  • he is indeed but the 'time is short' steeple is ballygowan

  • yeah, me too, i've still got my wristband on. He was amazing

  • Who mentioned "religion?" I don't like the way that word is used. Instead, how about a "personal relationship with God?" To paraphrase, "Do not be ashamed of Me before man..." Know that one?

  • Love Duke and love this song, but I can't seem to love this version of this song.

    Maybe it's just because I love the album version so much.

    Cool video though-looking forward to hearing this again at Belsonic on Saturday!
