    The idea for this cover started back in late October, when Zoe and Thomas did a short acoustic cover of this song on Instagram. I had recently gotten into Mac Ayres' work, and I loved the way they sounded on Easy so much that I decided to write a full arrangement for them and use it for one of my final projects! Most of this was tracked back in mid-December, but I didn't get the last components in until earlier in May, and it was wonderful to watch it evolve.
    I took a while to figure out how to handle the horns - I was originally attempting to make something complex, but then I heard the work of Jerry Hey and realized it didn't need to be! His arrangements rely on a lot of octave unison for very pronounced lines that add a lot of punch to a pop horn chart, something memorable that people will hold onto! I'd like to say I've done a bit of that here. The vocals were also a blast to work on - I almost had nothing set in stone before going in, and in the 4-hour recording session with Thomas and Zoe, we worked out a lot of fun ideas and just had a blast.
    I consider myself blessed to have the opportunity to attend such a great school like Berklee with wonderful musicians and friends that I can work with on super cool projects like this. For that reason, this project means a lot to me and I really do hope you enjoy it. Back to VGM next week!

    Great sound and arrangement. I wish you would collaborate with Zoe on a few more tracks. Her look, her sound, her phrasing . . . she is headed for more than what's she currently doing . . . I can feel it. I hope she gets some solid support with a talent agency or manager. Charles, keep doing what you doing and try to up it a notch or 2. I know you have the talent !!!

    Oh, you heard
    What they say
    Oh, the more things change
    The more they stay the same
    Ain't that a shame? (I know it's a shame)
    I've been good
    For some time
    I'd be lying if I said that
    You ain't on my mind
    Been tryin' to give it some time
    Feeling like I'm
    Runnin' away
    Never had the chance
    Chance to say
    I can say that loving you is easy
    I don't need to prove a single thing
    Somewhere along the way
    I guess you got under my skin
    I put all my cards out on the table
    You ain't ever gonna show your hand
    I would rather hold you close than
    Try to understand
    Mornin' sun
    Mornin' high
    Oh, I think this haze is for now my best disguise
    No need to think about why
    What'cha say
    Starry eyed
    How you love to smile
    And watch the clouds reside
    Just tryin' to give it some time
    Feeling like I'm
    Runnin' away
