about

"Melancholy but magical. Sad but seductive. Rueful but richly rewarding. Absolute quality" - Neil March, (TrustTheDoc)

Paul F Cook has long been a fan of the vocals of Annie (aka Machina X) and when the opportunity to work together came up he jumped at the chance. He had always wanted to hear Annie's voice against a more acoustic backdrop and created a composition that put his Spanish guitar playing at its centre.

"Working with Annie on the song was a huge delight. Far from just taking my track, writing lyrics and singing her part, she was integral to how the song ended up sounding - it was very much a co-production." - PaulFCook

Grateful to Paul, his openness to my ideas and visions for his trip hop instrumental and letting me turn it upside down, his patience, beautiful guitar playing and for giving me the opportunity to wander from my usual path and create something rather lovely with him - AJ

lyrics

WHO WILL I COUNT THE STARS WITH NOW?

Feeling the gentle breeze upon my face,
Father time, he came a'creeping up on you and me,
Seems only yesterday we were staying up until the sunrise,
Wreckless and restless and dancing in the moonlight

Who will I count the stars with now?
Who will I count the stars with now?
Who will I count the stars with now?

People like telling you everything that you're not,
The world keeps on turning and turning
when I just want to get off,
The nest is empty now, all the little birds have flown,
...And you were the closest to anything that I could call home

Who will I count the stars with now?
Who will I count the stars with now?
Who will I count the stars with now?
