In the beginning. I wrote this as an instrumental piece until Barry put the lyrics, following the guitar melody, and turned it into the beautiful composition it finally became. He was more talented than he was credited for in the day.

@Scotsmanify Ah, I thought the lyrics may have been Barry's words. I think Barry lacked confidence as a songwriter and also kept being pushed back into a box by the record company 😔. I feel his talent has never truly been recognised or acknowledged. He should have had more success. I am so grateful that you explained how this song 🎵 was written ❤️ 💖. I love this song very much. To me, it is a timeless song, a classic but so very true, moving and with a hauntingly beautiful feel. I married a musician ( Gerry has been a singer, guitarist ,songwriter, bassist etc since he was 15 or so and has a home studio downstairs ) , he has put up with my passion for music 🎶 by Barry especially over the years ( as well of course for his music or his co work on singles) , we have been together for over 4 decades now 😅 . Gerry also love your band's music with Barry. Thank you so much for sharing this. I created videos for all the songs Barry wrote with you. One is not yet finished. A few will be shared in the near future, I think I have 2 or 3 published so far. I am blessed by being friends with 2 dedicated collectors from Germany who have worked over the years on remastering songs , turning one or was it 2 of the bands songs from mono to stereo. They are huge life-long fans and have been so kind. Wishing you a lovely weekend, Warmest regards, Tia 😊

Apparently, there was a fire at the BBC archives and some of the recordings from early 1972, ours included, were destroyed. Thanks for your comments. 🙂

@@Scotsmanify Thank you for your reply, this is so sad to read.Wishing you a happy festive season.

I had the honor of working with Paula for a few months and got to know what a beautiful person she was.

Thank you for your comment Silvia....

@@Scotsmanify Could you share the lyrics, please?

Sorry.... I don't have a copy of the lyrics

@@Scotsmanify Ok, either way thank you very much for your participation in this song and for sharing it!

I'm no longer in the music industry....

Oh....what a pity :(

That's life...

Yes,you're right....I thought if once a musician- forever musician ;)

I still have six guitars I play every night.... just not professionally anymore...

Me too Gabi.

Thought I might as well share my time with Barry Ryan and, MOST REMEMBERED, the guys in THE VERGE..... I was picked to write with Barry because I listened to the records and picked out the parts for the band to play (apart from drumming. I didn't know what the F**k Jim was doing) But didn't need to..... He was great!.....as was Gordon, Charlie and Bill!...... I worked out the structure, riffs and chords etc, Barry created the lyrics and most of the melodies..... but the rest ...of the band worked out the feel and created their own parts in these recordings. Looking back, for the time....... I'm proud of what we did. Too bad Barry Ryan has never mentioned us, or acknowledged the fact that this , and other songs we wrote together did not belong to him alone!...... I have tried several times to contact Barry to no avail...... Whether it's him or his "people" I don't know..... At the time I thought he was a genuinely, nice guy.

@@Scotsmanify It's a shame all you say, I wish it hadn't happened all that and that The Verge would have received recognition and remuneration for his work. I admire you because you're not spiteful and yet you share these excellent compositions and give Barry their respective credit. I'm your fan. Many, many thanks.

@@silviarosales152 It's ancient history now...

@@Scotsmanify I feel pretty certain the men in the suit had a lot to do with this. Not sure if you heard an interview with Barry from the 2017 or so where he talks about how disappointed he was how the record company reacted, ( I hope this is OK to share here publicly as I have no proof of what I remember but he told me, a long time ago in the 70's, that his dream had always been to be in a band or to have a band and he had thought this was going to happen with your band and from memory he had to argue for these songs to be put on an album. They did not wish for Barry to sing heavier songs nor be with a band. They wanted Barry pigeonholed in a certain way and what your songs were not the way forward, such a bad move. I feel if Barry did not reply it was that he was under a lot of pressure and also there was no way for him to change things. From an early age Paul and Barry did as they were told by record companies etc and I believe it was ingrained in their ethics. They believed it was how you worked. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.Warmest regards from Tasmania, Tia
