Yesterday I got a message from a musical chum, Marcus Malone, with whom I wrote an album some fifteen years ago, which was never released. The band broke up in the recording studio before finishing the album. Marcus wants to re-record a song I'd written. Unusually it was the only song on that album that I'd written entirely alone: most were collaborations between myself and Marcus with varying inputs from the other guys in the band.
He's a great singer and guitarist, and I hope he does well with 'Would it Matter?', though I can't for the life of me see it making any money in the music biz as it is now. But when he originally asked me to record as a solo artist it after the band had broken up I demurred for reason of it being a somewhat personal song. Time changes things, and what was once a personal expression no longer seems quite as close to ones heart, or revelatory in some confessional fashion.
Nevertheless, Marcus is a good chap, and may fortune favour him.
