written by Mike Scott of The Waterboys, as a love confession to Patti Smith in the mid-70s. Rediscovered by me 40 years later, I couldn't believe I hadn't heard this tune. I felt compelled to redo it. These renditioons will be an ongoing process, to shine light on old forgotten classics, and to highlight and showcase the versatility of Calvin Love vibe making.
