No frills, just a simple pop song
indie beatles guitars pixies wildhearts clash cardiacs
Artist picture
Trash-pop, guitar rock and melodic miscellany.
Not so much a band as a bloke with a guitar and a laptop, The Smivets deliver a genre-bending blend of pop, rock, punk, prog and many other monosyllables.

Story behind the song
For some reason my cat likes this song. Stupid cat.
Lyrics
Once there was a girl came to set my world in a total whirl Yes and she was a lot like you She made me well aware that she didn't care whether I was there But you could, (If you wanted to) Say that perseverance is proof of the sincere, and this: Despite all appearances, Love, love will never quit Soon I came to see though I loved her she never wanted me But I kept going back again Though she told me no, I had to let her know I'd never let her go Even though it was all in vain Say that perseverance is proof of the sincere, and this: Despite all appearances, Love, love will never quit You were easily able to foresee the futility leaving me with a broken heart But I wasn't blue, 'cos I always knew that that girl was you And that true lovers never part Say that perseverance is proof of the sincere, and this: Despite all appearances, Love, love will never quit

A nice composition in a completely different style as I am used to hear from you! :) Great lyrics, and the ballade style of the music composition fits marvelously into them!! Have no cat and parrot, but my foot tapped along... surely a good sign anyway!! ;) ;) Cheers to the music!

You have the knack of just getting it right, no matter what style of song you do. A great song, works perfectly, stays with you and grabs you immediately. If I had a hit rate like yours, I'd be straight down to the publishers or licensing company.

A perfect song ... what else can I say. My cat does not speak but is licking the speakers, so that is a good sign.

My parrot agrees with your cat. Surely, a sign of the apocalypse.
