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
Ah Somerset. One of England's most beautiful counties. Famous for Cider, Exmoor and Cheddar cheese. Oh and a little place called Glastonbury. Also where my son and daughter-in-law chose to get married in summer 2021, which was a fabulous day despite the threat of COVID restrictions. Song is about far-flung friends getting back together for a joyous occasion in a beautiful setting, which it was, and I was delighted to perform it for them on the day.
Lyrics
We were the ones The queens and kings of summer Wrapped in aspirations We were legendary And then we moved on Over the furthest of earth's horizons Still the pull's too strong We know we belong Because the times are so great when we get back together To celebrate or whenever we feel like it And we feel like it OK, time to go Just throw your stuff in the car and drive You heard from the others yet? Yeah, they say they're on their way See you in Somerset And it feels like it's been forever And it feels like no time at all Since we danced in the sunset Oooh ooh ooh See you in Somerset J and B will be in the air now Cos they texted us from Pearson The girls are stuck on the 303 And the lads are at Temple Meads Whatever possessed them to go that way Must have cost the best part of half a day But they'll be here They'll all be here Because the times are so great when we get back together To celebrate or whenever we feel like it And we feel like it OK, time to go Just throw your stuff in the car and drive You heard from the others yet? Yeah, they say they're on their way See you in Somerset And it feels like it's been forever And it feels like no time at all Since we danced in the sunset Oooh ooh ooh See you in Somerset For this day After so many years For this day Rainbows of tears If we feel like it And we feel like it OK, time to go Just throw your stuff in the car and drive You heard from the others yet? Yeah, they say they're on their way See you in Somerset And it feels like it's been forever And it feels like no time at all Since we danced in the sunset Oooh ooh ooh See you OK, time to go Just throw your stuff in the car and drive You heard from the others yet? Yeah, they say they're on their way See you in Somerset And it feels like it's been forever And it feels like no time at all Since we danced in the sunset Oooh ooh ooh See you in Somerset

Love the intro octave riff. You are a wiz at these hard rock capturing riffs. Always a great guitar sound. Do you use digital effects or do you record the sound from a "real" amp? Sounds amazing. Great vocal and harmony singing. Very nice guitar solo also.

I like the way you pull back for the verse and then burst out on the chorus. It makes a nice contrast and adds interest to the song...not to mention the last organ break!!!

Oh yeah, a real Smivets Rocker as of old. Excellent sound. You know what...I've never been to the Glastonbury Festival. The only Rock Festival I went to one in Clavton in 1971?...Rory Gallagher headlined...Pink Fairies, Colosseum, Edgar Broughton Band, Groundhogs, Stone The Crows, Stray etc...nice warm sunny weather.
