They Came at Night Leaving Fear Behind
Is this only amusing to me? Some experiments in live performance of this song make me think that might be the case.
But I refuse to let that be the last word. I took a Phil Collins song, and adapted it to a distorted stereotype of country music. I dare you not to love it. I dare you.
Download my cover of “Don’t Lose My Number” right here.
P.S. Purists will note that in the chorus, where one would normally play (in this key) an F major at “find you,” followed by the G sharp, I go right for the G sharp, omitting the F altogether. This is because I decided that for this particular genre, the G sharp was more melancholy. I hope you’ll understand.
P.P.S. Bonus points for folks who identify the other song to which I pay tribute in this track.
