Background

On 18 April 2013, Murs revealed via Twitter that "Dear Darlin'" would be the third single released from Right Place Right Time.

"Dear Darlin'" was co-written by Murs, Ed Drewett and Jim Eliot. Of the track, Murs said: "Writing with Ed and him being my friend helped, as we sat there for hours before writing, going over old relationships and recalling their scenarios. It's about writing to someone to tell them how I feel about losing someone. It's not the kind of song you'd expect me and Ed to write, as we're bubbly characters, but we were able to open up to each other."

  • Darlin' (Poacher song)

    "Darlin'" is a song written in 1970 by English sax player Stewart Oscar Blandamer. There have been many recorded versions of the song, including those by David Rogers as a country song, and in a rock and blues version by Frankie Miller. Further famous versions were recorded by Tom Jones, Barbara Mandrell, Smokie and Johnny Reid.

    Poacher version

    The song was first released by Warrington country band Poacher in 1978.

    Frankie Miller version

    Miller recorded the song in 1978 and had an international hit with it. It reached number 1 on the Norwegian Singles Chart, and #6 in the UK Singles Chart.

    David Rogers version

    A country music version was recorded by the American singer David Rogers. Released on the Republic label, it was never included on an album.

    Rogers' recording was a relatively minor hit reaching #18 on the Billboard country singles charts.

    Other cover versions

    Barbara Mandrell released a cover version in 1979, which served as the B-side to her number one single "Years."

    Darlin' (French band)

    Darlin' were a French rock band formed in 1992 by Laurent Brancowitz, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo. Their name was taken from the Beach Boys song of the same name.

    Background

    The Beach Boys-inspired group released their songs on Stereolab's Duophonic record label, contained in the Shimmies In Super 8 compilation with Stereolab, Huggy Bear and Colm. In 1995 they appeared on the De La Viande Pour Le Disco? compilation, released by Banana Split. This rare limited edition cassette contained two unreleased Darlin' tracks, named "Untitled 18" and "Untitled 33".

    A review in British music magazine Melody Maker called the music "a daft punky thrash." Thus after this short-lived group disbanded, Bangalter and de Homem-Christo created Daft Punk, a successful and world-renowned electronic music project, in 1993. Meanwhile, Brancowitz joined his younger brother Christian Mazzalai in the band Phoenix. The three remained friends, most recently appearing together when Daft Punk made a surprise appearance during the encore of Phoenix's show at Madison Square Garden in October 2010.

    Darlin' (The Beach Boys song)

    "Darlin'" is a song written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love, recorded by American rock band the Beach Boys with Carl Wilson on lead vocal. It opens the second side of their 1967 album Wild Honey and was also released as a single, backed with "Here Today" from their 1966 album Pet Sounds. The single peaked at No. 19 in the United States and No. 11 in the United Kingdom. The song is also known by different lyrics and structure as "Thinkin' 'Bout You Baby", also written by Wilson and Love, and first recorded by singer Sharon Marie in 1964.

    It has twice returned to the US Billboard Hot 100, reaching No. 51 for Paul Davis in 1978, and two years later No. 68 for the Milwaukee-based band Yipes!. In 1992, "Darlin'" became the namesake of the French rock trio of the same name; two of its members later reformed as the electronic music duo Daft Punk.

    Recording

    The instrumental and vocal track was recorded under the production of Brian Wilson on October 27, 1967. Initially Wilson had planned to give this song and "Time to Get Alone" to a band called Redwood (later to be known as Three Dog Night) as Danny Hutton was a friend of Wilson. Hutton laid claim to inspiring the title for "darlin'", it being frequent in his vocabulary at the time. Redwood only got as far as recording a guide vocal before Mike Love insisted that Brian focus his attention on producing work for the Beach Boys. Accompanied by piano, bass, tambourine, strings, and horns, Carl Wilson sings lead vocals.

    Dear Diary

    by: Luna

    I saw that girl again today
    Reading silly magazines
    I saw that girl again today
    Singing songs of bubblegum
    I had my eyes peeled wide
    Up and down the dirty side
    I had my eyes peeled wide
    I think about her all the time
    And then you blew my mind
    Always on my mind
    You made an educated guess
    You are an educated girl
    It was a palace on wheels
    And I was just a drunken fool
    I had my eyes peeled wide
    Up and down the dirty side
    I got a head just like a beehive
    I think about her all the time
    Why must you be
