Soon afterwards, I realised that the album wasn\u2019t flowing as well as I had originally thought it would. To fix this, two very small changes needed to be made, that had a massive impact:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Firstly, the song \u201cYou Know me\u201d was in the wrong place in the running order. And secondly, \u201cHer Masterpiece\u201d needed to be edited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou Know Me\u201d is a slow burning, epic song and, by placing it third in the running order, it brought the momentum of the album to a shuddering halt. So I\u2019ve moved it towards the end of the album. It works far better as part of the finale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The original mix of \u201cHer Masterpiece\u201d had a completely unnecessary long guitar solo in the intro, and the song got lost as a result. So I\u2019ve created a new mix that removes the solo. It\u2019s brought the song to life, and I think is one of my prettiest songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On&nbsp;Friday 31 January, I\u2019m releasing this new mix of \u201cHer Masterpiece\u201d as a single.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>(The original version of the song will be the b-side of the single, so it will be available for you to listen to, if you prefer that version.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This, now, is the album that I intended to make, so I\u2019m very glad it\u2019s out there for you to hear. I\u2019m absolutely delighted with the results.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I hope you enjoy this album. For me, it is now right up there with my best work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conor<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qPxcE8iySNk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/conorfurlong.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Undo-The-Past-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3954\" style=\"width:598px;height:auto\" srcset=\"http:\/\/conorfurlong.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Undo-The-Past-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, http:\/\/conorfurlong.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Undo-The-Past-300x300.jpeg 300w, http:\/\/conorfurlong.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Undo-The-Past-200x200.jpeg 200w, http:\/\/conorfurlong.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Undo-The-Past-768x768.jpeg 768w, http:\/\/conorfurlong.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Undo-The-Past-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, http:\/\/conorfurlong.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Undo-The-Past-2048x2048.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new version of my album, \u201cUndo The Past\u201d, is out&nbsp;today.
