When You're Not Here

I was hugely influenced by the Carpenters when writing this song and we even recorded it on the anniversary of Karen's birthday or death, can't remember which now. Anne did a very good impersonation of Karen when singing the song before we put down the final vocal, but I think I was premature in recording the demo as I don't feel the song is completed and needs more work. John did a great job with all the instruments especially the guitar solo. Again I don't have a decent studio copy of the recording until I can find a way of copying tape to digital format.
