Description

Ten Years Later by The Bastard Sons of Dennis, from their album Cherry Smoke Empire.

Ten Years Later is an original song from the pen of Andy and was written many years ago, with the duo first performing it back in 1994. Is this track about uncertainty? Is God an atheist? Are your flies still undone?

During the recording of Ten Years Later, our engineers and the band together felt that the nature and subject of the song might be a scene between two friends having a chat over coffee. We set about creating a cafe scene, and thanks to those wonderful providers of great sound samples at soundjay.com we have achieved a pleasing result. The adlib voices from Q.Wim and Yuri were all done in one take, and it was the first as it happens.

There's a dark-ish video (of a pretty ordinary performance) of this track here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaSkIapo7Is

TEN YEARS LATER
When I was just thirteen
She said that I could take her...
Where could I take her?
And now it's ten years later...
Is it over?
Tell me when it's over...
Is it over?
I'd like to think it over...

I like to get the best of the changes
I'd like to get the best from the re-arranges
But if we get much closer
There's a danger we'll start over
Now I take it there's no-one left to shake you from your tree

Is it over?
I'd like to think it over...
Is it over?
I'd like to think it over...

I like to get the best of the changes
I'd like to get the best from the re-arranges
But if we get much closer
There's a danger I'll fall over
Now I take it there's no-one left to break you from that scene

Is it over?
Tell me when it's over...
Is it over?
I'd like to think it over...
Is it over?
