Comments:
GUN were terrific to work with. We only spent a few days together at my studio in Vancouver, but I really enjoyed Mark and Joolz.

They were typically Glaswegian, very personable and humorous. We had some good laughs, but they were also very focused and professional when it came to rolling up their sleeves and making music.

I was very pleased with "Don't Say It's Over" in it's final recorded version.

Too many times, over the years, I've recorded a decent demo only to have it buggered once the band went into the studio. But in this case, I'm pleased to say that GUN and producer Chris Sheldon definitely "delivered".
Lyrics: I've been searching all my life
I've waited for so long
When it came down to you and me
Now I find that I was wrong
I see the changes in your eyes
Where's the magic in your smile
There's no way I'm gonna let it die
You know I'll crawl for a thousand miles yeh

If we don't know by now
We could be losing everything
Please don't say it's over
And if our love should fall from grace
Please don't say it's over

We can't see eye to eye
Like the way we used to do
When it's all been said and done
Still a candle burns for you
Forget about the things we said
It don't matter right or wrong
Sometimes well you just don't know
What you've got until it's gone yeh

I would give it all
I would do most anything
Please don't say it's over
If we don't know by now
Then it's too late
Just don't say it's over
Don't say it's over

All I want is to be near you
All I am is what you see
All I know tell me can you hear me
You're all I need yeh yeh yeh

If we don't know by now
We could be losing everything
Please don't say it's over
And if our love should fall from grace
Just don't say it's over

I would give it all
I would do most anything
Just don't say it's over
If we don't know by now
Then it's too late
Just don't say it's over
Don't say it's over
