Pete Townshend - I Am Afraid скачать видео бесплатно

From Pete Townshend's 2001 compilation Scoop 3.

Pete: This was a demo attempted on banjo. 11th December1990. Recorded to cassette I think.

I like this version of the song. It must have bean one of the very first demos I roughed out for Psychoderelict. To begin with I was not working on a musical play I was writing songs for a conventional solo album, which - I had bean warned by my manager and record label - had to be a 'real' rock record. At the same time I was writing a novel called Ray High and the Glass Household. Part of This book was complete enough to send a first draft to my editor Robert McCrum.

The two projects became predictably entangled and my CD play released in1993 was the result. Halfway through I was sacked by EMI who had bought my UK label Virgin to get hold of The Rolling Stones and a few others. I signed to East West, who were associated with my US label Atlantic. They gave me much greater creative scope. The birth of my son Joseph, then only two months old, inspired the future phobia I refer to in this song. "
