Shall I War

A song which defines Chris in some ways (in as much as you can define Chris), he brought this song to my music workshop at Crisis Skylight many times over the preceding year, and we decided to record it in my basement in Bethnal Green. Like many of Chris's poems, it works just as well to music as spoken word. "Waya Wee" translates to "Auntie" from Chris's North Ugandan dialect.

Just Remember

This one is an absolute gem - with some time left over, we decided to try another of Chris's poems to his Bontempi-vibe keyboard playing. We must have spent little over 5 minutes putting it together, and we ended up with something incomparable. Sharon kept it on her stereo and played it about ten times a day for weeks. Another poem which defines Chris - sincere as it is entertaining.
