Major Snagg is the invented name of the 'band' that perform all my own musical creations. (songs and instrumentals). I play guitars, bass, rudimentary keyboards, harmonica, and sing. Melody has always been important to me... lyrics and guitar solos have to say or communicate something. I create musical worlds that I hope that you dear listener, will also want to explore and live in for a few moments...or longer if you feel that way inclined.

Story behind the song
A fabulous Pop song by The Lightning Seeds... an 'Indie' - 'Brit-Pop' Pop/Rock group. This is a song that I've always liked, since it's release in 1989. There's a simple but very nice synth hook that underlies the whole song, that once you've heard, you'll probably remember forever. That's the power of Pop music for you!.
Lyrics
Pure (Ian Broudie) The Lightning Seeds (c) 1989 Night time slows, raindrops splash rainbows perhaps someone you know could sparkle and shine. as the daydreams slide from colour from shadow picture the moonglow that dazzles my eyes ... and I love you. Just lying smiling in the dark, shooting stars around your heart, dreams come bouncing in your head, pure and simple every time, but now you're crying in your sleep, I wish you'd never learnt to weep, don't sell the dreams you should be keeping, pure and simple every time. Dream of sights, of sleigh rides in seasons. where feelings not reasons, can make you decide. As the rain pours down, splash Autumn on gardens, as colder nights harden their moonlit delights, still I love you . when you're lying in the dark, shooting stars around your heart, dreams come bouncing in your head, pure and simple every time, but now you're crying in your sleep, I wish you'd never learnt to weep, don't sell the dreams you should be keeping, pure and simple every time. pure and simple every time. I've found a place, I'll never leave. I'll shut my eyes and just believe. Love is the truth, I've realised. Not a stream of, pretty lies, to use us up and waste our time... when you're lying in the dark, shooting stars around your heart, dreams come bouncing in your head, pure and simple every time, but now you're crying in your sleep, I wish you'd never learnt to weep, don't sell the dreams you should be keeping, pure and simple every time. pure and simple every time guitar solo: to use us up, and waste out time ... when you're lying in the dark, shooting stars around your heart, dreams come bouncing in your head, pure and simple every time, but now you're crying in your sleep, I wish you'd never learnt to weep, don't sell the dreams you should be keeping, pure and simple every time. pure and simple every time. pure and simple every time. pure and simple every time ... fade out ... fade-in to synth solo...

Never heard of the band or the song. You have done an excellent job with this. I saw talk of 60s but song is from 1989 and that synth style riff driving throughout song screamed 80s to me. Your production is so good you are at studio level and nice job on the vocals. A winner.

Got to love the 60s flow - an era of pioneering in Rock thatformed later eras. Excellent arrangement - power rhythm chords using the early type of distortion, and that mono-synth... just awesome!

Excellent job!! I like the way you've captured all the elements of the original version. First class performance and production, and you've reproduced that bouncy synth perfectly!
