157. Not Over yet by Grace

 Grace - Not Over Yet

In 1995 I was over in  Spain for the Running of The Bulls in Pamplona. The bulls ran very early in the morning. The coach party I was with were staying about 30 minutes away in the hills. Each night all the backpackers would drift down to the one and only pub in the village and take over the music, drinking until the small hours. Which meant we didn't always get up for the bulls at 6am every morning. The hotel did have a pool! While a lot of the sounds were cheap and cheery euro disco sounds this song stood out amongst the dross. I especially like the what sounds like an electronic accordion before the chorus. We were playing a bit more dance music at the Lizard so I brought this song and a bunch more home with me.
One of the first things I did when I got back to Melbourne was buy a Honda Prelude. That was a time when I did have a bit of cash. Some of those dance hits sounded especially good with the sun roof open driving around St. Kilda with the music blasting and the sun shining. That was time when summer meant sun too. Things have changed. Not Over Yet reminds me of the Upper Espanade 96.
Later the Klaxons would cover the song quite brilliantly. luckily my time away from guitars was quite short but this song still sounds fantastic.

I'll live for you

I'd die for you

Do what you want me to

I'll cry for you

My tears will show

That I can't let you go

It's not over, not over, not over, not over yet

You still want me, don't you

It's not over, not over, not over, not over yet

Cos I can see through you

It's not over, not over, not over, not over yet
