And If You Should See Dave.....

[Josh]

I have to admit this is a grower, can't really go wrong when JJ's in a melancholic and reflective mood.

JJ has tested positive for COVID but has no symptoms and his partner is negative. He’s also had his first vaccine and will stay in France until he gets the go ahead to travel

I wonder how they recorded this track with JJ being in France?

Fortunately JJ found a small local recording studio, so he could do it properly

I still love the song It captures the essence of who Dave was, and how much his colleagues are missing him.

The video, however, looks like it was made by somebody who had only ever seen photographs of Dave. His personality wasn't in it, there was no hint of the intelligent, quick-witted, easygoing and friendly guy he was Yes it's a tribute, but to me it's a superficial one, and they missed a trick. Unless that was the point..? To highlight that he's gone? I don't know

Dave was so much more than his keyboards, his attire and his rats. Sorry, it's been an emotional couple of weeks

It doesn't seem to have had any airplay yet.

Yeah can see where your coming from but i think that they have got it right,yes its a tribute to Dave and yes you need to capture the man he was,but its also a single for the charts.I think they've got it pretty spot on i love the vid and it does have plenty in it to reference him.In a way you cant go to down the sombre lane for a video for a chart single,for me its modern fresh and its about Dave that would hopefully atrract anybody who just likes the song and the video for what it is compared to dave fans like us that may look at it from a totally different angle so for the general public as a whole as a single i think they have it spot on and good luck to them and i really hope they can break into the charts with this one for Dave.Its a 10 out of 10 from me for both the song and video.

Have to agree. The more I listen to it, the more I 'get it'.

It's barely had any airplay in the comfort of my own home since it first went onto Youtube, for what it's worth.

Steve Lamacq mentioned the release date again after playing NMH this week, but I don't think he's played 'Dave' again.

I hope he's ok.

Wasn't he coming over to record some vocals in Japanese and French?
