J Smith featuring Nnic – I’m Sorry
A new beginning.
Following the break-up of his band Gypsies On The Autobahn, singer James Smith (top) has launched a solo career and I’m Sorry is his new single.
James writes:
“I’m Sorry was written for a friend years ago. They had recently broken up with their long-term partner out of the blue and they felt they couldn’t deal with it. I got a call soon after, telling of their despair and that they had talked themselves out of doing something regrettable. “The song was a hand on their shoulder, to let them know that I was thinking of them, that I was trying to place myself in their shoes.”
James was joined in the studio by Dylan Lynch and Donagh Seaver O’Leary (Soda Blonde) and brother Daniel Smith (Gypsies on the Autobahn) as well as singer Naoise Fitzgerald (Nnic).
Nick says: Song Smith.
I really feel for musicians these last few years. Already decimated in the single and album sales by the rise of Mp3s and then services like Spotify, now their only way to make a real few bob via live performances is gone too.
Best of luck to James, nice little tune that could easily have been shmaltzy but wasn’t and a nice story to go along with it.
