Nothing to Hide has its influences in the early 70's. The groovy rock piece was finished last and completed the 4-song EP.

About the song production
Nothing to Hide is based on a riff that' was already rather old, written about 10 years before the release.
The song is groovy, simple and straightforward, and builds on my 70's rock influences. The trusty band does a great job once again:
Alex Van True in the vocals. Alex is based in Portugal and originally from the UK
Giovanni Cilio from Italy in the drums
Klym Lysiuk from Ukraine in the bass
The guitars are by me (Mikko Latva-Koivisto). I considered hiring a solo guitarist for a flamboyant 70's style solo. Instead I decided a short and simple will do here, and so I'm the guitarist for all the the tracks on this EP. Let's see what's the instrumentation and line-up for the next one!
Lyrics
You're trying to be something you are not
Dwelling in fantasy
You're trying to be something you are not
It's your way to be
But you got
Nothing to hide
You got
Nothing to hide
You got
Nothing to hide
You got
Nothing to hide girl and
I can't just sit here watching as
you're falling down so so hard
You're trying to be something you are not
Dwelling in fantasy
You're trying to be something you are not
It's your way to be
You're trying to be something you are not
Set up for travesty
You're trying to be something you are not
you say what you will
You got
Nothing to hide
You got
Nothing to hide girl
You got
Nothing to hide
You got
Nothing to hide girl
So why don't you take your sweet face and
show it all - to the world?
You're trying to be something you are not
Dwelling in fantasy
You're trying to be something you are not
It's your way to be
You've got that sweet talkin' now
You've got that sweet talkin' now
You've got that sweet talkin' now
People like you sweet talkin' now
People like you sweet talkin' now
People like you sweet talkin' now
You're trying to be something you are not
Dwelling in fantasy
You're trying to be something you are not
It's your way to be
You're trying to be something you are not
Set up for travesty
You're trying to be something you are not
You say what you will
You got
Nothing to hide
