about

On September 2nd my oldest brother Shayne died. He was 48 years old. He always likened himself to John Bender, Judd Nelson's character in the John Hughes classic "The Breakfast Club" and him and one of his friends used to call each other Judd and Molly (Ringwald).

I felt it appropriate to release this cover of "Don't You (Forget About Me)" that I originally recorded for an ad for Dickens Pub in Calgary in it's full version and remastered.

Unfortunately my brother didn't have life insurance and my family is in need of some financial assistance so all proceeds from this single will go to recover those costs and 30% will go to local Niagara Region drug addiction support groups. Something Shayne was in support of due to losing so many friends to addiction throughout the years..

Thank you
Daniel George Mackie

lyrics

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ooh, woah

Won't you come see about me?
I'll be alone, dancing, you know it, baby
Tell me your troubles and doubts
Giving everything inside and out and
Love's strange, so real in the dark
Think of the tender things that we were working on
Slow change may pull us apart
When the light gets into your heart, baby

Don't you, forget about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you, forget about me

Will you stand above me?
Look my way, never love me
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down
Will you recognize me?
Call my name or walk on by
Rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling
Down, down, down, down

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Ooh, woah

Don't you try and pretend
It's my feeling we'll win in the end
I won't harm you or touch your defenses
Vanity and security, ah
Don't you forget about me
I'll be alone, dancing, you know it, baby
Going to take you apart
I'll put us back together at heart, baby

Don't you, forget about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you, forget about me
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
When you walk away
Or will you walk away?
Will you walk on by?
Come on, call my name
Will you call my name?

I say
La, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

When you walk on by
And you call my name
When you walk on by
