LYRICS:
(Music and Lyrics © 2013: Farrington - Brooks)

Will you change your mind?
Will you change your mind?
Will you change your mind?
Will you change your mind?

VERSE 1:
That lost look on your face
There is no disgrace
My words seem to fall
Around this empty space
I've tried to look for clues
It's neither win or lose
Your heart will not turn
And according to you

I don't want to be there when you take the path less worn
Though I will be there when your wedding dress is torn

CHORUS:
And should you change your mind
Should you change your point of view
Will you allow some time...
For me to love you?

VERSE 2:
I didn't wanna join the race
Could not live at your pace
And what was there to gain
While enduring this pain?
A false sense of security
Brings with it some obscurity
And if falling from your grace
Means that I can feel safe

I don't want to be there when you take the path less worn
Though I will be there when your wedding dress is torn

CHORUS:
And should you change your mind
Should you change your point of view
Will you allow some time...
For me to love you?

INSTRUMENTAL:

Will you change your mind?
Will you change your mind?
Will you change your mind?
Will you change your mind?

CHORUS:
And should you change your mind
Should you change your point of view
Will you allow some time...
For me to love you?

And should you change your mind
Should you change your point of view
Will you allow some time...
For me to love you?

Should you change your mind
Change your mind

------------------- LYRICS -------------------
- Verse 1 -
Strange times, I've had enough of strange times
I wish that we could go back again
The day we thought that love would not end

We were brave then, never fearing no one
Our lives were somehow caught in a trap
Forever were the feelings on tap

- Chorus -
Now you talk of freedom
And I can't stop hurting
You can't stop talking
You'll not stop me walking
I shout to the mountain
Never again, no no....

Now I see you walking
And I stand here helpless
Forsaking my feelings
Traversing the ceilings
I shout to the mountain
Never again
Again!

- Verse 2 -
Warning signs, I should have read between the lines
Living through this heartache and pain
I swear I'll never do this again

Impossible, our lives became intolerable
Walking through the fire became
The scars to make these feelings remain

- Chorus -
Now you talk of freedom
And I can't stop hurting
You can't stop talking
You'll not stop me walking
I shout to the mountain
Never again, no no....

Now I see you walking
And I stand here helpless
Forsaking my feelings
Traversing the ceilings
I shout to the mountain
Never again
Again!

- Instrumental -
Never again, I shout to the mountain
Aww, I shout to the mountain
Mmm yeah, never again

- Chorus -
Now you talk of freedom
And I can't stop hurting
You can't stop talking
You'll not stop me walking
I shout to the mountain
Never again, no no....

Now I see you walking
And I stand here helpless
Forsaking my feelings
Traversing the ceilings
I shout to the mountain
Never again
Never Again!

Just Another Love Song - Clive Farrington

July 4th 2013 (Manchester, United Kingdom) - Music producer, Jon Brooks, teamed up with Clive Farrington (lead vocalist - 'When In Rome') to co-write and produce Clive's first solo album 'Independence'.

The official release date 'Independence Day' is significant as 4th July also represents Clive Farrington's independent release outside of 'When in Rome'. When in Rome had a No. 1 hit single in the USA called 'The Promise'. It was released in 1988. In 2004, 'The Promise' was used as the end title theme for the successful movie, 'Napoleon Dynamite'. Due to unfortunate legal issues over the name 'When In Rome', Clive decided to go ahead with a solo album.

The new album exhibits a fusion of styles; blending classical orchestral elements with a modern day electronic sound... as an addition to this, 'Independence' also boasts a hint of the 80's too! It's already receiving extensive radio play and TMR Records have just negotiated and licensed two of the tracks to GAP (Mexico) for use on their latest compilation CD. Some of the album's tracks could be classed as a cross between the 'Pet Shop Boys', David Guetta, Scott Walker and Robert Miles. The songs are honest, suitably original and highly emotive.

Clive: "I met Jon whilst working as a Technical Install Manager at Castle Rock Studios in Alderley Edge, Cheshire, UK. The CRS studio was being built by the fabulous TSP (The Studio People). At the same time, and unbeknown to me, a smaller version on the same design level as CRS was being built right around the corner from my home in Stockport, Cheshire, UK! The builders on that project would come by CRS and tell me about Jon Brooks and how he's into film score projects... Right up my street, I thought!!! Jon has a Masters in Composition for Film and Television. He had just relocated back to the UK after spending six years working as an in-house composer for one of the best audio post-production studios in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He specialised in music composition and audio production for film, television and advertising. I wanted to get to know him and maybe put something together. I dropped by Jon's studio and left my card with his father. Jon called me a week later, and now... just listen to the new album and breathe in the fabulous results!"

The new album 'INDEPENDENCE' was released on TMR (Tough Monkey Records) through Kobalt Label Services / AWAL on July 4th 2013.
