Helena Springs was once Bob Bylan's girlfriend/lover/mistress... can't remember the story quite but I think he left his wife for her or something. She's on West End girls as well.Pinhead44 wrote: Wed 12 Jun 2024, 8:35 pm Track 28: A New Life
Chronology: Actually, Further listening Track 8
B-side to What Have I Done, and like the lead song, a co-written track, which I think makes it the only single release where the boys don't have sole credit on any of the related tracks. Helena Springs, who they co-wrote A New Life with, also provided the backing vocals on You Know Where You Went Wrong.
Another great escapism track, about wanting to get away from your current relationship, and find a new life / love elsewhere. The keyboard melody is really catchy, and the pre-chorus section is especially uplifting and beautiful. 'The night goes by
leaving you behind me as I fly....'
Lovely.
The first time some one else sings a a song written by them, the first time they resing it.Pinhead44 wrote: Wed 12 Jun 2024, 8:35 pm Track 28: A New Life

Years ago I did my own 7'' mix of this by cutting part of the intro and outro... I think the song should start with Neil's "At night it hits me...", such a great voice and lyric there.
