about

Walter Davis Jr wrote this song along with so many compositions that no one knew about. We asked him if he had a song for us and he choose this one, "A Being Such As You"

Marion Cowings sings in full voice as he emotes the story of Walters "alien" song as Walter tells us, to include a brief abstract interludes "I want it to sound like a space ship takes off before the verses come in".
Oohs were a last minute addition on the solo sung by the children of Kim and Marion, who grew up in concert halls and studios.

lyrics

the face you wear Ive seen it before
can't you tell by the look I give you
I won't say it was in a dream
though dreams aren't always what they seem

the way you smile just turns me right on
seems so familiar Im paranoid
won't you give me just one clue
I'm going crazy over you

It might have been in another world
when my love was unfurled to you
there's something telling me it's true

I want to know you better each day
before the heavens take you away
I feel a change thats strange and knew
to love a being such as you
