I Don't Mind!

I don't mind if you ignore me
I don't mind if you're way too cool
All I ask is that you'll take care of me
And stay with me when things go wrong

The smallest things can mean so much to me
Like how I yearn for your touch
So many things that you bring to me
I just love you so much.

Hold me, move me, kiss me like you'll lose control
Squeeze me, tease me, promise that you'll never leave me

I don't mind when you say you love me
I don't mind when you say nice things
All I ask is that you stay kind to me
and give me space to be myself

The smallest things can mean so much to me
Like how I yearn for your touch
So many things that you bring to me
I just love you so much.

Here's an outrageously sickly sweet retro brit-pop song with vocals by Anna. Very different to my usual Blues Rock style, this song came about almost by accident in that I was tinkering with a new guitar chord structure and a bit of vintage reverb and I thought “Hey, this has a very retro pop feel to it”. The upbeat lyric developed as the song progressed, hopefully very much in the style of Duffy, Amy Winehouse and Emma Bunton.

The amazing vocal performance by session artists Anna Yanova-Cattoor, the stunning Sax arrangement by Wilbert Condez Escalona and the very subtle keys by Nick Palmer II, turned this very simple song into something special for me and I'm really pleased with the way it turned out.

I tried to produce this song with a vintage / retro style mix in mind.
