This version is more in keeping with the way it was originally written . More a wistful retro romance than the other versions that emphasised the twist in the taleIt isnt a song per se.. It was an experiment in writing something from a different era and in a different style/genre.Its more like a melodic conversation to ones self,reminiscing ...or a song interspersed with spoken asides.Its a kinda 1940's Fred Astaire kind of thing.Part of an Idea I had for a movie outlineVersion 4 © Phil Marshall/John Westwood http://www.songramp.com/mod/mps/viewtra ... id=60070v1 sung I remember falling for you The breath you took awayThe pounding of my heart beat The “What happens if we meet?What if she looks my way?"Aside ..spokenI thought to myself .......

Hey, I think I commented on a previous version of this (A girl named Fred?) I think you should hold/stop the guitar at the end of the first verse on "What if she looks my way?" I think it would add a little more tension to the phrase and the spoken part just after.Again, it put a smile on my face... Geo

I could also see Sting doing something like this, but I do get the old Fred Astaire vibe to. It's a nice song. I think it would be worth recording professionally.

I much prefer this version to the other two. Probably cos its the way I intended itj
