"Not your typical bonus track"

What do you mean?

"Not your typical bonus track"

What do you mean?

For many of the bonus tracks, you kind of can take a good guess why they were thrown away. Like, "Heart of Oak" is too short, just 1.5 minutes, and "Terminal of Tribute To" is obviously too harsh to be put on the main album. But this feels like the main album song. I'll need to take another listen to guess why it was cut.

I understand, but I'm afraid only MK knows the answer  ;)

I have the feeling that it wasnt cut...

Guy said that it was recorded during the DTRW sessions but was mixed recently for the box, so I guess they had so much material that decided lo leave some tracks for the future, unmixed, maybe to be used on other records, maybe to be shelved forever. Think that "Get Lucky" and "Remembrance Day" were recorded during the KTGC sessions but ended on "Get Lucky" record. Maybe they were unmixed and saved for the future, or maybe they were not fully recorded.

The bonus tracks were all mixed for the album, but ended like bonus tracks, others are not even mixed, like this one, and I'm sure there are some other that are recorded, but only the main instruments and they didn't finished the arrangements, this might be a kind of question for Guy, that I'm sure that he would be very happy to explain, if he's in the correct mood.
You might get lucky, now and then

That's true and shows how many songs Mark has. "Get Lucky" was originally called "You Win Some"

When I first read the lyrics of back in the day, I think it was 2018. I was expecting something magical, and when I heard the song I was disappointed with the style, it sounded so corny.

Precious Voice From Heaven was a complete mystery. And it turned out to be a great song. Enough with the saxophone and trumpet. This is my MK :clap :clap :clap :clap

FLAC HD 24-bit from Qobuz :wave



Thank yooouuuuuuuu! :clap

Unbelievable this isn't on the main album. Could have been the best track on the record... Not a fan of the DTRW mix overall, but this is a great mix by Guy!

One of the greatest melodic pop songs MK has written in recent years. Lovely guitar licks that I deeply felt. Love the doubling of electric and acoustic guitar on the guitar solo just before the bridge and the sound of the guitar reminds me of what I love about "Money That Matters." Also reminds me of "My Claim to Fame" somewhat, very Golden Heart-type of songwriting IMO. What a gem. And damn, the mixing and panning in the outro is gorgeous.

I listen and I listen. It's a really surprising song. Beautiful introduction and the next two parts. It's two songs, two melodies in one:)

Thank you for sharing!  :-*
What a beautiful song. A pure MK gem. I can't get enough and listen to it over and over again.
This is all the heaven we've got right here where we are in our shangri-la.
