“As Much As I Love You”

by Sky Sunlight Saxon and The Original Seeds
1987 song

The first track on Sky Sunlight Saxon’s super-strange 1987 German LP Takes & Glories is called "As Much As I Love You". A concurrent recording, musically "As Much As I Love You" is an exact copy of The Seeds’ classic "Can't Seem To Make You Mine". Sky, however, has completely rewritten the lyrics and uses a different vocal melody on this version. So, it’s kind of a half-remake of the 1965 garage rock nugget. "As Much As I Love You" gets Takes & Glories off to an appropriately unusual start.

album by Sky "Sunlight" Saxon and The Original Seeds (1987)

A very odd German album with old 1960s recordings with slapdash new overdubs plus a handful of new recordings – by Sky Saxon, but *not* the original Seeds.

Flashback

album by Sky Saxon's U.S.A. (1991)

Chilly synth-pop by Sky Saxon (with Dana Smith), Flashback is arguably the most atypical release of his varied career. Sky like you've never imagined him.
