Everything but the Girl: Then & Now

It was 1999 and one of the band’s last singles. Like their last album, it was made in an environment close to extreme: when one-year-old twins were put to bed in the corner of the home studio, Tracy performed what Ben had written (on the last album, he was mostly responsible for music and lyrics). You can imagine how they were touring.

“I was putting the kids to bed at the hotel then racing off to soundcheck and I remember thinking, I do not like doing both. I feel like I’m being rubbish at both.” And this is why in the summer of 2000, when they found out that they were having a son, Tracy said “stop” to show business.
