An acoustic rock song with a theme of loss. Sweet natural vocal from Mike here. Having always liked the Danny Wilson song Mary's Prayer I wanted to write a story that followed a passage of time, verse by verse, as theirs does. Of course, unlike my Dee their Mary had the good sense never to have been given a surname (Dee DeVine was a name I invented to fit phonetically where it needed to in the vocal line, and which lends some playful alliteration to the song's title [itself obviously an echo of David McWilliams's 'Days Of Purley Spencer']); Some very late-in-the-day googling tells me that all sorts of Dee DeVines are currently engaged in various wheezes right here in the real world. (Who knew!) Well, this song is about none of them (I picture my Dee as something like Greta Gerwig in the film Frances Ha, if you want to know). Anyway, as usual this one was recorded in my studio, Charlene, with Mike remotely engineering his parts at his place.
