Ian: “I wrote “She Said” originally for the Big Beautiful Bluebottle album “Please Come Away From The Edge” (also on Bandcamp) but I wanted to know how it would sound if Stefano (Guzzetti) arranged it. He brought the dead back to life!”
“Ayu’s version was initially meant for release in 2021 but I got distracted by some pretty floating dust and forgot about it. Now, with the Galactic Embrace LP approaching release, I listened to her version again and was completely blown away by it, tears streaming down my face by the time I’d finished listening. I get the chills every time I listen to it. Thank you, Ayu!”

She said there are no more games.
There are no more clouds.
There is no more sun.
She said it’s the end of love.
It’s the end of life.
It’s the end of it all.
