about

Theo and Dave had a good relationship on tour, so I thought it appropriate for Theo to write Dave's piece. They bonded over the TV show Rake, which is referenced in the song. There is also a reference to Dave's hobby of model plane flying and some great word painting for the concepts of dissonance and consonance. The overall feel is laid back, which reflects Dave perfectly - he was always welcoming and flexible, hosting multiple events at his house and often seen relaxing on a boat, especially a Venetian gondola.

lyrics

He’s a cool guy
Such a cool and chilled guy
And when there’s dissonance, he brings back consonance
Always a joke to make, always a wing to break
And without him there’d be no Rake!
He’s a cool guy, such a cool and chilled guy

about

Gawain Davey Melbourne, Australia

Music to appreciate and savour.
A slower, softer sound spectrum... quirky, thoughtful words... restless melodies on a lush bed of changing harmony...
Darkness and light mingle.
Gawain writes classical music and contemporary songs.
