Behind the Songs: I Don't Want To Be Your Shadow

A quote from Richard Butler on the song "I Don't Want To Be Your Shadow".

Interviewer: "What else lyrically for you stands out on [Forever Now]?"

Richard Butler: "I always liked the mood of 'Sleep Comes Down' a lot, that was always very dreamy. 'No Easy Street' I also liked a lot. And there was a track that never made it onto the album, called 'I Don't Want To Be Your Shadow,' which I always loved the feeling of as well. In those days it was always, if you've got ten songs you don't need any more." (iJamming! 2001)
