about

This is Neil's 5th single and quite possibly his strongest offering to date. Neil wrote the song back in 1995 when he was at Uni in San Antonio, Texas and is the first to feature contributions from other musicians. The song was originally recorded in the Autumn of 1995 with some overdubs and editing added in February 2021. It features a classic rock'n'roll sound, with the main influences being Primal Scream's 'Rocks' and 'Start me up' by The Rolling Stones.
Here we introduce the excellent rhythm guitar playing from Mike Witmer, who elevated the song to a whole new level. Rock solid, precision bass playing was provided by Shawn Horne and a 16 year old wonder drummer, Nicholas Soto provided the back beat.

lyrics

Verse 1
I get so lonely when I’m stuck inside my house
And these four walls well they just make me wanna shout
I keep on thinking ‘bout you lyin’ by my side
And when you upped and walked away you broke my pride
Bridge
I know these days that I’ve hurt myself in so many ways
Chorus
So you, are you thinkin’ ‘bout me now
Yeah you, are you thinkin’ about me now
Bridge
I know these days that I’ve hurt myself but I feel okay
Verse 2
So when you’re up here by my house I get a stir
Cos you don’t know what I’ve been thinkin’ ‘bout you girl
You take me down to the park to make it out
And we play ball for a bit but end up goin’ out
Bridge
I see the days when I hurt myself now it’s gone my way
Chorus
So you, are you thinkin’ about me now
Yeah you, are you thinkin’ about me now
Bridge
On the phone, I hear you callin’ me up
Playin’ with my mind, so that you’re not left behind, hey baby
Chorus
So you, are you thinkin’ about me now
Yeah you, are you thinkin’ about me now
Are you, are you thinkin’ about me now
Yeah you, are you thinkin’ about me now
