Mile High Music home of the music you want to hear...
59p each or £1.49 for all 3 songs!
From London City Dreams single, recorded 2004, which had a very limited release - maybe 20 copies(!) - in mid 2005, more for friends than anything official.
London City Dreams & it's B-side Dellow Street are both home demos, but both being strong songs and unlikely to be re-recorded in the near future, it makes sense to issue them here on the MHM download store in their stark unpolished maximum charm versions, enjoy!
About You also features on the Christy album Shine & Rise

released 01 July 2005
Composed, arranged, produced & performed* by Christy.
Recorded at MileHighStudio 2004 except About You, for which drums, bass & rhythm guitar were recorded at a Zen band session upstairs at the Royal George pub, Tanners Hill, London, June 2004, using equipment & rehearsal space of the fine band RedRoute, so thanks to Dave for that. Only a stereo mixdown with drums, bass, rhythm guitars, keys and talkbox survived a computer meltdown at the Drezone Plant a month later, so all vocals and additional overdubs were added to the stereo mixdown at MileHighStudio during 05/06.
*additional players on About You - Zen:
Andre St. Clair Dyer - Drums/Keys
Ceri James - Rhythm Guitar
Hamid Halbaoul - Bass

LONDON CITY DREAMS
Music & Lyrics by Christy
London
London City
Is a place where selling is king
And people walk round like a product
Filled with violence and
Peddling dreams
It's a landscape built of wine and roses
Designed to make you feel alright
But flakey friends are all just clothes and noses
And who you know out on a Saturday night
That's right
In London
London City
The seasons are plain 'bout reversed
With cool cool days, and flammable night times
Often
Paid for with brain
It's a landscape built of wine and roses
Designed to make you feel alright
Your acquaintances are all locked in toilets
Or nodding wildly at their hero tonight
That's right
In London
London City
London
London's City
Starlets
Starlet & Sirens
Wide eyes & white limousines
We climb on, strive for the higher ground
But can't move
For treading on dreams
It's a landscape built of wine and roses
Designed to make you feel alright
But flakey friends are all just clothes and stinging noses
They'll leave you lonely on a Saturday night
That's right
In London
London City
London
London's Sssity
Out on the scene
"Are you part of the scene? Obscene!"
London, Lun-dun
That's right, here in London...

ABOUT YOU
Music & Lyrics by Christy
Feelin' low down now
About what has happened
Not understanding, what went wrong with you
It didn't help me when I did
But I found the truth
About You Now
It didn't help me when I did
But I found the truth
About You
Know I must let go
And never look back on
Those who have fallen won't grieve here for you
It didn't help me when I did
But I found the truth
About You Now
It didn't help me when I did
But I found the truth
About You
It's wrong...
