http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCFJ4tFL3SU Original Album: The Hangover Year of Release: 1997 Next to sex, it's nostalgia that offers the biggest seller, the subtle art of gently re-reminding people just how good the experiences they had yesterday were. Of course, if you're a rock musician, it might be a handy tool to write down today what you liked about yesterday since alcohol could contribute to the lack of specific memories at some point in the future. It's also probably wise to introduce a number of references into songs that people can relate with, such as 45's and The Rolling Stones. At just 2:45 this self penned track is no 'Bohemian Rhapsody' or 'November Rain' of length, but what it lacks in size, it more than makes up for in delivery. If an album opener needs to deliver a well timed jolt to capture anyone sitting on the fence, this track is perfectly placed, seeing as it introduces us into the world of Gilby's second studio album. Featuring the unmistakable piano and keyboards of Teddy Andreadis (whose "Zig Zag" Guns N' Roses fans should be more than well versed with) this track questions the nature of yesterday, how good it really was and how great it would be to return there, not always a simpler time - but one we can certainly relish in the enjoyment of. Seeing as this was the first new solo material released by Clarke since his dismissal from Guns N' Roses, and given the musical change of landscape during the period leading up to this record's release, it's possible to suggest that a lot of this song has specific references to Clarke's own experiences. This is also the same album which features Clarke's covers of the Beatles 'Happiness Is a Warm Gun' and David Bowie's 'Hang on to Yourself' - both songs which deal, to some extent, with self reflection and reminiscing.
First studied Journalism in Ireland in 2003, returning to Sunderland University on the tenth anniversary of my first studies in the subject to continue towards an MA. Interested in all sorts including WWE, Music, Film, TV and Games. Has travelled around a bit to places like California, Ontario and Mexico and plans to do more of the same soon again.
Recently I've been writing pieces on my favourite topics which have included obscure theme music from nostalgic shows, Guns N' Roses and a few other surprises I'll be happy to share in time!
