The prolific, ARIA Award-winning former Weddings Parties Anything singer-songwriter Mick Thomas has not been idle during self-isolation. Indeed, he wrote and recorded an entire album, which will see release shortly. The centrepiece of the collection is the nine-minute track “See You When I’m Looking At You”, which started taking shape in April when Mick wrote a verse and a chorus in his backyard. He put them to tape in his home studio and recorded a few extra bars of guitar. He then sent it to his old mate Angie Harte from Frente, who wrote a second verse and added another chorus and sent it back. Mick then forwarded it to another old friend, Nick Barker, who did the same. And so it went until it got to nearly nine minutes’ of song, at which point Mick decided he’d better finish it! Which he did with the help of his current band the Roving Commission, who added their parts in isolation, and old WPA bandmate Jen Anderson, who added strings.

Mick also got everybody to shoot a bit of footage of themselves on their phone as they worked on the track. The result is this beautiful new video for the song that has just premiered.
