Permission from Chris Sheehan

I sent Chris Sheehan an email asking for his permission to use songs from the band "The Bench Connection" and recieved this reply:

Hiya Sam,

Of course! I'd love you to. It would help me more if it was my solo album really, but whatever you like is cool with me...

You can download the album free here...

And if you send me your address I'll post you all a couple of proper copies.


I then sent him an email explaining that I would like to use his song, "Everyone Cares":

Hey Sam,

Really looking forward to seeing what you come up with for Everyone Cares - I want you do whatever you feel. Go creatively crazy. I imagine it suits something more animated, but you do whatever you feel like doing.
Did you ever see the smashing pumpkins video for Tonight Tonight? I always liked that vibe too - but hey--- BIG budget going on there.

But the animated bits these days with computers must be doable. Anyhow - good luck with it all!

I kinda like this too by the way - it's some young guy in Brighton - I like that he used old bank statements. I used to write lyrics on the back of benefit letters hoping it would bring me luck!

Here's the lyrics - let me know how you get on, and thanks for using my stuff, it's a big compliment.
