REVIEW BY JON WRIGHT
Lamenting the remnants of a lover long lost, Spartacus Jones' original composition You're Never Quite Gone combines elements of jazzy noir scenery with gorgeous vocals.
The lead vocals are really lovely, very skilled in approach and pleasant to hear.
The harmonic composition is appropriately dramatic for the lyrics, which are also very well assembled. Overall, the effect of You're Never Quite Gone is timeless and evocative - very well done! This is a gorgeous composition. Fans of classic crooning and jazz vocal stylings will love the tone...and the lyrics and vocal delivery are extremely accessible to a wide variety of listeners.

YOU’RE NEVER QUITE GONE
Now that you’re out of my life
Please won’t you leave my heart
A million reminders won’t let me move on
You’ve left but you’re never quite gone.
Now you’re not there on my pillow
Why do you stay in my dreams?
You haunt me all night long though you must know that it’s wrong
You’ve left but you’re never quite gone.
I vow with every tomorrow
Promise myself a new start
A future where I’m fine without you
It’s cruel to remain
where you cause only pain
Now that you’re out of my life
Please get out of my heart
A million reminders won’t let me move on
You’ve left but you’re never quite gone
