Song a Week Podcast 2009, No. 5 - Only When I'm With You by Chris Devine

This song wasn't supposed to turn out this way! The lyrics were written first, and the guitar-composed music seemed to point to a sensitive singer-songwriter approach. But the thematic similarities to the Pet Shop Boys' 'You Only Tell Me You Love Me When You're Drunk' and the general PSB-like melody eventually saw Chris's comfortable guitar strum give way to this more lush, mostly-electronic arrangement topped with four-part harmonies. He's almost unbecomingly proud of this one.
