A lot of us came up listening to sample-based compositions from hip hop and R&B in the '90s. Well this is an homage to that - but flipped. It's a live take with everyone in the room delivering their lines *as if* they were a button on the MPC. The only actual samples being played are the samples from the MPC, which is also played live by the brilliant drummer Vassil Voutev.
Fun fact - this track is also a sequel to "You'll Never Leave" from The Sofia Sessions Pt. 1.
lyrics
Him: When she's gone..
Her: Is it my smile? Is it that crazy fallin' feelin' you miss my love?
Him: When she's gone, it's just the little things that you long for.
