Left-overs

At least, another track was written (by Mark Kerr and Erikah Karst) during the Cry period: "Angel Under My Skin". The song was later worked on for Black & White 050505 (2005) and Graffiti Soul (2009) before it was finally recorded and released as a Deluxe edition bonus track on Walk Between Worlds (2018). [14]
