One of the most interesting, or at least commercial, results from the recent Mill sessions has to be the Rea-penned 'If I Were You', a vocal collaboration with Elton John which appears on the rocket man's Duets collection. It appears that Stuart Epps triggered the eventual format of this new album when he suggested to Elton's management that Chris Rea might be an interesting vocal partner. Epps explains: "Being close to Elton and his manager, I was aware of the original plan for Elton to simply compile all his existing duet recordings for an album, such as the Kiki Dee and George Michael hits. There was some talk of him recording a couple of new songs and I mentioned that I'd been working with Chris and he might be up for it. His manager said 'Why not ask Chris to write something?'. The day after I told Chris about all this, he came in with this great song and recorded an absolutely brilliant demo. Elton was knocked out and he came over to The Mill to record the track with Chris. I think that, because of the wonderful result, Elton was inspired to seek out other artists and it became an all-new album. Chris and I also worked on Elton's only solo track, the misleadingly-titled 'Duets For One'." ----Stuart Epps.

If you were me

And I was you

If you had to play my part out

What would you do

Two crazy stories,

Two different views

If you were me

And I was you

If you were me

And I was you

What kind of crazy things

Would I have to do

Who likes to party

Who stays at home

If you were me

And I was you

Never like strangers

Though never the same

Two circus side-shows

And laughter in the rain

You stay with the full moon

You search for the stars

Thank God it's heaven

Here we both are

If you were me

And I was you

If you had to play my part out

What would you do

Two crazy stories,

Two different views

If you were me, if you were me

If you were me and I was you...

Just for YOU...as Υou are Μe and I am Υou...
