Name: When The Needle Drops
Duration: P00H02M49S
Description: This is something from a pile of rejected songs, one that I pitched to a singer, but didn't hit the mark. While doing some clean up of my hard drive I found the demo and decided to finish it. I brought Andrew McMullen in to lock it down on the drums and I re-tracked everything over his parts.

lyrics

When The Needle Drops
(m. girio)

back in '66
you were the kings and queens
for little more than kicks
you ruled the dancehall scene

but time abandons
and leaves us here, where we don't want to stay
so long ago
but you're not forgotten

well out on the dance floor
they're swinging out their hips
to the drums and bass
those great Jamaican hits

when we look back
it's hard to think that we could be so young
so long ago
but you're not forgotten

was it the best of what you are
on a scratched up 45
because when that needle drops
your music comes alive

when we look back
we can see where it all began
so long ago
you're not forgotten

The excitement to have found this band, only to discover that they are no longer playing together. I guess we just have to enjoy the work the left behind... MyLastChance

The only thing that stops me from comparing this to Toots & The Maytals is the perfection and precision of the Delegators’ musicianship and Janet’s vocals. marc_ian
