You called me by her name last night


Everything is clear now
I am awake
Thought I had a true love
But all of it was fake
Everything is crystal
So much I could say
Doesn’t seem to matter, though
Everything has changed

You called me by her name last night
No apology can put that right
I was only ever your back-up plan
Took so long but now I understand
Should’ve known that something wasn’t right
You called me by her name last night

It will disappear now
The future I thought fated
Everything is clear now
All the time that I have wasted
Everything is clear now
My viewpoint has been shifted
Whisper in your ear, my love
Should’ve known that you were twisted

You called me by her name last night
You cried a little and you held me tight
All I was to you was a back-up plan
Turns out you were just a hollow man
Should’ve known that something wasn’t right
You called me by her name last night

Ooooooooo
I trusted you
Oooooooooo
I trusted you
You called me by her name
Nothin’ ever gonna be the same
You called me by her name last night
You called me by her name last night

Peter, Leon, Janice & Bud,

This is an excellent refresh of a great song. Love the RTs and the lead guitar.

Janice as always sounds tremendous. The new backing vocals are perfect.

Bud is a wizard - this version sets a high bar for mastering. Just an incredible sound.

Loved it all!

When Peter, Leon, Janice & Bud get together you know you are in for some real ear candy and this was no exception!

As usual all parts fit perfectly together:
Janice's vocal was perfect,
Peter's guitar was perfect,
Bud's mix was perfect, and
Leon's lyrics were great!

Loved it.

PS - I was smiling all through this one. A friend was over with girlfriend #1 and called her girlfriend #2's name. All hell broke lose! Thus I can, as an observer to the crime, really get this one!

Excellent jibe.
My ONLY nit is the non English/Australian pronunciation of "a" though o many folk in Australia use the Americanism that I'm a small cricket in the distant night.
The "package", if I may be so crude, is fabulous.


Cheers

Thank you, Peter! I wasn't here 7 years ago, and this is way too good to miss. Love the long title. This is why players call their partners Babe or something similar. Such a fine guitar solo --no surprise. Janice --well, who knew in the 60s I would ever end up saying the best Janice voice has much more merit than what was currently available. YES! You picked the master for the mastering. An excellent choice for an excellent song -- or any song really.


Enjoy whatever happens!

LPB&J...

WOW. This is good!
The Mix is EXCELLENT. The sound of the Bass and Drums is exceptional. Solid backing.

OMG, those vocals! And here's the kicker...those HARMONIES might be even better than the main! GOOSEBUMPS.

Peter's guitar work - gems all over the place.

A Good Write. The chorus is especially nice. One of your best.

Great Listening.

The write is solid, vocals excellent, clear mix, and the guitar solo is short (sorry, couldn't resist wink ).

Excellent! laugh
