recorded somewhere in the middle of Wild Opera's recording sessions. Tim reworked it and created a lovely ballad with eerie guitar leads, warm bass and echoed piano lines. Sound-wise, it reminisces 'Smiler at 50' from ADD. 'Know That You Were Loved' is a mostly acoustic affair that brings to mind the low-key No-Man album, Together We're Stranger.

been a passion of mine. I know how to play about six different instruments. Some of them are very closely related such as the trumpet and cornet. I really play a little bit of everything but my all time favorite one to play is the bass guitar. I picked up a bass guitar about a year ago and instantly fell in love with it.

The vocals drop back drastically, harmonising with each other in a haunting, scalic melody, as it starts on a C or the tonic of the scale, and reaching as low to an E natural. The guitars become acoustic, the bass stops, and the drums are subtle in the background. This creates a thin, homophonic texture.
