Yet another songwriter-guitarist-singer. In that order. Though I earn my living mostly playing bass.

I play bass with various bands in many genres, and also perform at mainly acoustic-style venues as a solo songwriter-guitarist-singer (in that order)

Story behind the song

This song got me my nicest review ever. The much respected Rychard Carrington of Rock'n'Reel magazine was kind enough to write:

"Original, witty, sensitive, articulate, down-to-earth - those qualities are the characteristics necessary to qualify for a Rychard Carrington black belt in singer-songwriting. Ladies and gents, I proudly award this coveted honour to Ms Heather Enid Wells, who thus joins an illustrious pantheon that includes Loudon Wainwright, Jonathan Richman, Peter Buckley Hill, Peter Blegvad and John Otway. 

The first female beltwearer indeed. I can’t think of any other female singer-songwriter who can write about “love” without going off into vague abstractions, emotions detached from real world detail. It takes humility and courage to write lyrics as frank and sensitive as those of ‘I Was Tempted’, and the result is one of the most moving songs I've heard."
