Trash-pop, guitar rock and melodic miscellany.
Not so much a band as a bloke with a guitar and a laptop, The Smivets deliver a genre-bending blend of pop, rock, punk, prog and many other monosyllables.

Story behind the song
Here the wonderful Melancholy Soul Girl takes this tune and really makes it her own - I was blown away with this vocal performance and I hope you will be too. Thanks, Irene, this was a blast to do!
Lyrics
At first we never saw anything wrong in it Didn't expect anything so strong in it But we both seemed to fall so far, so fast So deep that we knew we'd belong in it We were in so deep and narrow We used to say we only cast one shadow Out of sight of the world And we didn't care about tomorrow One last cappuccino and it's time to say goodbye No one wants to be the first to finish, or the first to cry How can it come down to things as mundane as this? Just because we're neither of us strong enough to risk a kiss. Maybe it would have been better if I never would have met you Think maybe I never should have let you Fill the empty spaces in my life Because now I'm gonna have to forget you 'Cos there are ties that are too strong Even to think of breaking them would be wrong We knew we had to put them first And this was just a shadow dream all along One last cappuccino and it's time to say goodbye No one wants to be the first to finish, or the first to cry How can it come down to things as mundane as this? Just because we're neither of us strong enough to risk a kiss. But yesterday I was walking alone In the last of the evening sun And I swear it was there on the darkening ground: A second shadow beside my own And I knew that you were there with me That you'd find it in your heart to forgive me And though we can never meet again I'll love you always, believe me. One last cappuccino and it's time to say goodbye No one wants to be the first to finish, or the first to cry How can it come down to things as mundane as this? Just because we're neither of us strong enough to risk a kiss.

Definitely feeling this...very emotional and soulful vocal performances, enhanced by those excellent, moody backing tracks. Strikes an inner chord for sure - brilliant job by both of you.
