A long time back Kev asked me to write lyrics and melody for an idea he had.
I asked him to tell me a story and it touched my heart and it just fell into place.
Thanks to Lady Rodaline and Marshall for filling in the blanks.
Sending Love to Kev and hope you get better soon brother.

Im Afraid of Americans is a song by English musician David Bowie, released as a single from his album Earthling on 14 October 1997 through Virgin Records. The song was co-written by Bowie and Brian Eno and originally recorded during the sessions for Bowies 1995 album Outside; this version was released on the soundtrack of the 1995 film Showgirls. The song was then remade during the sessions for Earthling with his then-current band, guitarist Reeves Gabrels, pianist Mike Garson, bassist Gail Ann Dorsey and drummer Zack Alford. The remake was recorded between August and October 1996 in New York City and featured rewritten lyrics, overdubs and transposed verses. An industrial and techno track, it presents a critique of America through the eyes of a stereotypical Johnny and is characterised by drum patterns, synthesisers, various loops and vocal distortions.
Following its release on the album, Virgin Records issued the song as a maxi-single in North America only with six different remixes. The remixes were mostly created by Trent Reznor and his Nine Inch Nails band members, continuing his and Bowies association following the Outside Tour; the V3 mix featured Ice Cube while the V5 mix was created by Photek.[1] Reznor subsequently appeared in the music video, which reflected the songs theme of a frightened European in an American city. A top 20 hit in Canada, the single peaked at number 66 on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent 16 weeks on the chart. It was the final Bowie single to chart on the Hot 100 until 2015. Reznors V1 mix has since appeared on several compilation albums. Im Afraid Of Americans #DavidBowie #trentreznor](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Rdy1S0wyabc/mqdefault.jpg)

My Delirium is a song performed by New Zealand musician Ladyhawke. The third track on Ladyhawkes eponymous debut album, the song was released as a single on 8 December 2008. The most commercially successful single of Ladyhawkes to date, My Delirium sold over 70,000 copies in Australia, peaked at number nine on the New Zealand Singles Chart, number eight on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart and has reached the top 50 in the UK and Denmark.
Background and writing
My Delirium was written by Ladyhawke, alongside Hannah Robinson and Pascal Gabriel, both of whom Ladyhawke worked with on her previous single. Ladyhawke later said she was looking for high-powered producers to collaborate with.
Ladyhawke wrote My Delirium after suffering from a lack of sleep due to jetlag and feeling homesick.
According to co-writer Robinson, My Delirium and Dusk Till Dawn were both written on their first and only session together] Ladyhawke, when describing her songwriting process, stated she tries to keep simple hooky guitar riffs throughout the tracks... and she wanted to capture the happy sad vibe that so many eighties classics had.
