I bloody love this song. Reminds me of teenage-hood!

BALANCED ARRANGEMENT FOR CONCERT PERFORMANCE (or weddings/events etc.) + also an option to Record this arrangement (remotely if you're still in lockdown!)

Song played as per the original track. 'Heterophonic' Violins (play in Unison, but please vary your sound a bit from each other, to give it a jangly sound). I made this for Remote Recording, so the pull-up at the end is written out rhythmically. Saves any problems arising in rehearsal/performance in real life anyway, so thought i'd leave it in!
*I EVEN WROTE IN THE CAR SCREECH IN THE SECOND VERSE*
Interesting inner parts as per usual. Couple of nasty triple stops in the Viola. Have fun!
