Pop, Opera, Hip Hop, Grime, Trap, Classical, Progressive Dance, QUALITY MUSIC that brings these forces together like no one has EVER done before! My sincere thanks to Ivo Grasso at Massive Arts Milano for his acquiescence on Ray's behalf, but most especially to the two musicians who just make this remix of mine something very, very special: Of course - Ray Tarantino - for a GEM of a song in the first place - it was a delight to work with you, thank you for letting me 'do my thing!' And to my wonderful mate, and occasional musical partner in crime, Andrew Keeping, for some sumptuous ad lib guitar playing the quality and beauty of which are just out of this world, and which grab me every time I listen to this track. And to Simon Napier-Bell, who didn't know me from Adam, but who was gracious enough to have a listen, and commented that Futureblind was: "... a massively rewarding listen. A massage for the ears..." He didn't know it at the time, but that was a big deal for me, as he was the first seriously influential music industry figure to comment publicly on my work. Simon - thank you x

A unique George Michael tribute - a song written "from his perspective." “In Memoriam” The George Michael Tribute Song Apple / iTunes: https://music.apple.com/gb/album/in-memoriam-single/1496975711?app=music&ign-mpt=uo%3D4 Spotify https://presave.to/pCLBA00DB1 (Mastered by Mike Hillier at www.thisismetropolis.com, Distributed by Kate Hendry at Absolute Services) "IN MEMORIAM" - a song "from" George Michael - by CLASSICALBANKSY Lyrics: The Look was good, The Songs were right, (I was)Enchanted, It’s granted - You’d have made the same mistakes, Had you been me my friend. For my Mother’s Pride, I tried to hide, And put in place - some innocent and foolish face. How could anyone have known - that this would be my end. Then, like a gift from God - an Angel came my way, To Whom I could give my heart, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, But the deadliest of irony, that took him away from me - It was plain to see, Would come back for me. I had no choice, I could not bear my destiny - Without the Angel who loved me, I wanted to be with the Angel who loved me. ***Instrumental*** Now that we’re worlds apart, it’s easier to say: I know that I should not have walked away, Oh, oh, oh, oh, (Yeah) I must apologise, I was too scared to recognise, Didnt realise I was paralysed. So grateful that you heard me without prejudice. But I just couldn’t love me. I have always loved you, but I just could not love me.
