Viva Forever

the hits that them songs have got yeah you know what the

Viva Forever was just an accident so like I have to shout out to Acoustic Backs and Tracks because they did the original backing track like the piano bit underneath it and I was like oh I love this song and I just like covered it and like I do like covers at home and be like oh you know what about if you have Spice Girls at your wedding kind of thing, you know, just to like bring some new stuff in because you don't want to sing the typical songs all the time, you know.

So I was like, you know, with my neon background, with like these massive glasses

on, like my blueprint glasses, I was like, oh, these are cool.

Do you know what I mean? Like he was the first one.

He's amazing.

but this is me playing piano on it and I can't play piano you know what I mean I can only play my own songs so like when I release like You're Still The One and Is This Love that's me playing piano so it's not great so all the songs I've released apart from Viva Forever I've done myself Ain't Nobody I had a pianist help me do the track and stuff as well and Angel of Mine I did work with a different producer for that and then I co-produced it over the top of what he did and took it all apart and whatever so so like I've worked with some good people but like most of the stuff that I release is just me and so like they're not great not that great so I did a version of still the one and it's very high pitched on it like the piano like I should have turned that down but I didn't know I just I was like oh I'll just release this I

feel like you're a huge critic though I'm just gonna release this no I am I like I will I don't listen to those I think oh that's not But

What it be?

"Viva Forever".

You have thought about this.

See? See, I'm telling you.

Don't-

"Viva forever"

Oh, here we go.

"Na-na-na-na-na"

to perform live? Well, this is a funny one because I love the ballads.

I love singing To Become One, Viva Forever, Too Much, all of those gorgeous songs.

But nothing gets a reaction like Wannabe.

Okay.

The onward evolution of this tune towards rock is not good.

Viva Forever, Dave Bush and his synths.

The song itself does trigger a bit of phantom nostalgia for a time I never actually experienced, so all of the good memories with none of the lingering sadness, so win-win there.

Comparing the two, and I'm not going to mention the names of the people behind Postscript, this is not what I'm talking about here, but what you've kind of got here is two songs that evolve in different ways, right? And kind of, you know, that Mark is very happy to kind of like have Free Range become this rock song and Recovery Kit lean more into this kind of like synthy weirdness.
