'Out of the Past' Official Video Now on YouTube

In the second day of lockdown in Lisbon, mid March 2020 I was walking into my shower at home when an impulse stopped me, made me grab my go to knockabout guitar and I sat down and wrote this song and the lyrics in real time. I made a quick demo in the following days and then sent it to Kassin. We had recorded 9 tracks at Studio Namouche in February so we thought a round 10 would be good. Everyone was still pretty shell shocked at the idea of lockdown so Kassin rebuilt the demo and sent it around to the guys.

First Macio in Warsaw recorded the drums, then Alberto in the mountains outside Rio recorded bass, then Kassin in Rio recorded the heavy and dirty guitars which lead Piotr to add some wild and dirty keys. Finally it went off to supreme trombonist Marlon Sette to add some New Orleans style wah-wah trombone.

This is the first and only track we've made without the band being in the same room recording in real time but it was a great experience and helped everyone settle down in the new world order of no live music, no studio gigs and general disturbance that has characterised 2020.

Lyrics

I guess it's over
But you won’t say
I can’t keep waiting
For another day
Cos I’ve been waiting
Waiting for you
Yes I’ve been waiting
Waiting for you

I gotta tell you
That it won’t last
I’m moving on
Getting out of here fast

I gotta tell you
That it won’t last
I’m moving on now
Getting out of the past

You say you love me
But in your own way
That you’re thinking of me
Everyday

But thinking isn’t loving
In anyway
Do you know how it hurts me
When you treat me this way.

I gotta tell you
That it won’t last
I’m moving on now
Getting out of here fast

I gotta tell you
That it won’t last
I’m moving on
Getting out of the past

Cos I’ve been waiting
Waiting for you
Yes I’ve been waiting
Waiting for you
Cos I’ve been waiting
Waiting for you
Yes I’ve been waiting
Waiting for you

I gotta tell you
That it won’t last
I’m moving on now
Getting out of here fast

I gotta tell you
That it won’t last
I’m moving on
Getting out of here fast

I gotta tell you
That it won’t last
I’m moving on
Getting out of here fast

I gotta tell you
That it won’t last
I’m moving on now
Getting out of here fast

Im done waiting
Wait for you
I’m done waiting
Waiting for you
