about

Promise Not To Tell was written as a love song, which I always said I'd never write...but here it is.

I think the most interesting thing to say about this song is it's transformation from how it sounded in my head to how it came out in the studio. Originally I think we were aiming for a kind of laid back acoustic number (although we discussed making it a full electric track all the way through) but somehow we (Liam) stumbled across the idea of putting a hip hop drum loop underneath it. I thought I'd go along with it to humour my co-conspirator, but it actually sounds amazing, and I'm glad of it's addition. It is something new and different for me. Credit goes to Beth who sang in Between Parks for writing the high vocal harmonies which we tucked our nobs between our legs and 're-interpreted' in studio...

If my plans come to fruition, a version of this song which is much closer to the original (intended) version will become available for your listening pleasure on a future release which I have faintly penciled in.
