Interviews Introspective Losing my mind

Neil  Our version of this is basically just the demo we made before recording it with Us Minnelli, which we released much later on the b-side of the 'Jealousy' single. This disco mix is the longer of the two versions. This was done in our ZZ Top opened, putting electric guitar samples on everything.

The show Forms, by Stephen Sondheim, had been on in London, which is where this song comes from. In the show, two girls who used to be showgirls get married, and they both come back to New York for the party for the demolition of the theatre they used to work in. One woman would rather have married the other husband, and in this song she describes how she lives in the Midwest and every day she thinks about the man she loves. When I saw the show I thought this song could be a hit record. It's a very beautiful song, though we obviously did it in a less sensitive way.

We went into RAK demo studio to do this version as an experiment to see if it would work for Liza, and chris came up with the riff that sounds a little bit like 'Physical'. Liza hated the screaming bit, which was taken from a sample CD, and refused to have it on her version. On reflection I think she was right, because it's a bit gimmicky. The same day as we recorded this, we recorded the demo for 'Nothing has been proved'.
