Poor Little Lost Soul - Wee Cherubs

in the early 1980's I played in a non-influential Indie band in Glasgow, called Wee Cherubs. I was privileged to play alongside Christine Gibson (bass) and Graham Adam (drumbs). This is an unreleased demo which I think was one of the first songs we ever recorded (at Park Lane Studios, Glasgow). I have no idea what this song is about, which is surprising, since I wrote it. But then, the 1980's were my 1960's ;)...I put together a collage of various clips for your viewing enjoyment while you listen to this reverb-y thing. I think I should credit the sources:

Ivan Bridgewater - Internat Movie Archive
Alex Park Inn Aviation videos
Neuromixer VJ loops
Spacetelescope.org

Sorry for the others I forgot, don't sue me though.

Wow , just found this song ! I remember i had a wee cherubs tape [showing my age] with a few songs on which included this one ..... maybe it was the EP not sure .... anyway the tape got pinched by a girlfriend at the time who also loved it .... saw them play at the `Star Club` on the Clydeside [no longer a venue] .... worked with Christine at Green City .... thanks for posting wish i could go dig out the tape from the attic ! grrr

@melphil Ah the Star Club! Takes me back, was a great venue actually (and the beer was cheap!).

Yeah, it definitely does have an 80's feel.

Cool tune !!

Thanks! It has reverb on its reverb. Then chorus on that reverb. Then I put more reverb on it.

This is very special indeed, thank you for posting the clip with the demo. The Wee Cherubs single is one of the holy grails that I've been searching for for two generations now....

I was born at a very early age, and yet I never got to see the Wee Cherubs! How'd I miss this one? Great job OF!!! (Was that Bela Lugosi?)

[qiput]

wish i was alive before i was born to see the cherubs in action !

another absolute classic..

Thanks! There was clearly a lot of reverb around in the Eighties...!

That was a good sound you had! I've listened a couple times and don't know what it's about, although the video gives it a sinister feel!
