    So Begins the Crying by George.
    From Volume IV Side B of the Band of Georges.
    Music by G. Davies.
    Lyrics by K. Staple.

    So Begins the Crying is another song that started out as just a guitar piece.
    George recorded a few instrumental tracks to a cassette and gave it to Ken so he could come up with some lyrics.
    This song is one of the ones he came up with.
    So Begins the Crying was also a regular in the live set of Rough Terrain.

    Composed 1st January 1984.

    Mixed October 1986.
    Lifted from cassette March 2025.
    Copyright © 1984 Explicit Music.

    1984 was actually written on New Years Day, 1984, after hitchhiking home from a New Year celebration.
    This is a hard rock song in the key of A.
    It was a regular in the set of Wud, who did a very good version of it.
    Ken would add some strange vocals from the TV series The Prisoner.
    The drum machine was unable to do the six bars of 6/8, so it was turned off and back on again.

    Fun Facts:
    This song in C major has something of a classic chord sequence.
    It was written after a weekend when George felt underwhelmed by how his girlfriend had received him when he went to visit.
    He was also frustrated that she insisted they keep their relationship secret from her family and friends.
    This is a song that was never heard before being released here.
    It was also never performed by any band.

  • Band of Georges: Two Timer
    Two Timer by George.
    From Volume III Side B of the Band of Georges.
    Music and lyrics by G. Davies.
    Composed 1st May 1983, finished 9:20pm.
    Recorded July 1986.
    Mixed October 1986.
    Lifted from cassette March 2025.
    Copyright © 1983 Explicit Music.
    Copyright ℗ 2025 Wud Records.
    Fun Facts:
    Two Timer is a song that was performed live many times by Rough Terrain.
    In their version there was a growly swamp guitar which was quite fun.
    The band often used to run the song into So Begins the Crying, which was also in F#m.
    Two Timer appears on Rough Terrain's Exit Stage Deaf compilation.
    It was written on the same day as That's No Way to Pay a Bodyguard, and has a very different feel to it.

  • Band of Georges: They Painted Their Bodies
    They Painted Their Bodies by George.
    From Volume III Side B of the Band of Georges.
    Music and lyrics by G. Davies/Y. Crone/S. Steel.
    Composed 8th July 1983, updated 5th January 1986.
    Recorded July 1986.
    Mixed October 1986.
    Lifted from cassette March 2025.
    Copyright © 1983 Explicit Music.
    Copyright ℗ 2025 Wud Records.
    Fun Facts:
    They Painted Their Bodies was the first finished song for The Concept Album.
    Although a lot of the music for The Concept Album came fairly quickly, the lyrics did not.
    They Painted Their Bodies was composed in a caravan in some woods near Dunsford, on the edge of Dartmoor.
    George and Yvonne were ostensibly going to write a lot of songs during the week they stayed there, but only managed the one.
    The did manage to enact a ceremony that would feature later on the concept album.
    The Concept Album told the tale of some adventurers who embarked upon an epic quest to defeat a terrible evil against insurmountable odds.
    The idea came from a computer game on the Apple II called Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord by Andrew Greenberg and Robert Woodhead.
    They Painted Their Bodies is in the key of C minor and is the second song for the album.

  • Band of Georges: Will I Still Be With You Tomorrow
    Will I Still Be With You Tomorrow by George.
    From Volume III Side B of the Band of Georges.
    Music by G. Davies.
    Lyrics by G. Davies/S. Steel.
    Composed 16th October 1983, updated 5th January 1986.
    Recorded July 1986.
    Mixed October 1986.
    Lifted from cassette March 2025.
    Copyright © 1983 Explicit Music.
    Copyright ℗ 2025 Wud Records.
    Fun Facts:
    Will I Still Be With You Tomorrow is the third song for The Concept Album, and the second to be finished.
    It received a slight lyrical update when George and Senga collaborated on this in 1986.
    The chords in the verses are barre chords played in the same positions for each line, but using different shapes.

  • Band of Georges: Too Many Times
    Too Many Times by George.
    From Volume III Side B of the Band of Georges.
    Music and lyrics by G. Davies.
    Composed 2nd May 1983, 11:15am to 11:43am.
    Recorded July 1986.
    Mixed October 1986.
    Lifted from cassette March 2025.

    Copyright ℗ 2025 Wud Records.
    Fun Facts:
    This song was written the day after That's No Way to Pay a Bodyguard and Two Timer.
    It is in the key of E minor.
    George's Dad liked the guitar in this one.
    We were surprised at how long it was.
    There was some sort of accident with a playback, a live track and a punch pedal somewhere in the middle.
    It was never performed by a band.
