    I use to think this song was easy! Until I sat down and tried to play it for the first time the day before! Probably not the best idea but It’s deceivingly difficult especially trying to remember all the groove changes and form. I could say it’s probably the hardest track I’ve had to play or maybe because I gave myself minimal learning time, never the less well done to the team as always. Hope everyone enjoyed the track as much as I did listening back! Enjoy the rest of your day!
