Andy, I really enjoyed this song... I like the progression alot and that does indeed comfort me. The voice is nice as well and fits perfect.... I really like the way you make the guitar chug along in a nice rhythm... makes me think of a lovely train ride on a fall afternoon through the country.... very laid back but still full of life and energy!

Mmm, mmm. you may not know, but keep doing it. I love how bare this arrangement is.

Sounds like true love to me...every bittersweet second of it! And it's so lovely to hear you again! More please. And not just every Valentines. (I can't log in. But Sister Savage says hi!)

Excellent track 👍

I seldom know what I’m doing too

Very nice song. Good quality too.

Hi Andrew, nice song! Stay healthy and safe. Keep on going. Paul

great tune andrew , love the lyrics , and vocal ,......cheers tony cee

So lovely and the lyrics are very moving. Beautifully done! I wonder where Julia is now...maybe she can hear your song.

Love it...and great imagery. Now I must see the movie too!

Another beauty! Gorgeous voice as always. (I get some Bowie vibes....and I'm a big fan). You're almost done your FAWM!!! Wow.

Love it …we like to make it special but I can’t remember how……. it’s an excellent album I throughly enjoyed the ride ..

Most of mine from the early years are gone I mean where the hell did I come from who what am I ….who am I evolving into …..oh yeah Reg

Nicely said… there’s always hope

I opened the box but I’m telling you now I can’t get the bloody lid back on ….a dark little beauty

Great lyrics …I just loved that fresh mint feeling

Well done! I enjoyed the line "empty Bottles and a pile of unwashed plates" I'm pretty sure she is your valentine.

Great Valentine's song! You have such a capacity for lyrical story telling - what a talent. Beautiful!! The finishing line is in sight!

another beauty Andrew its coming on to be a great FAWM 2025

I swoon ...I think its a beauty as it is

I'm with witzelsucht on this, "Good as is". Classic Reg.

Cool stripped back version.

Mrs R has pointed out that she knows of at least two other Londons... and that it might not be obvious I mean London UK!

Like it. Love this: "stage is dusty / my strings are getting rusty". We had to look up corn hole, though, doesn't get played a lot in South London...

I started with the comment "allotropic"... but having listened to it, and let it wash over me, that seems a bit flippant now...

I love this version.

LOVE those sounds.

Oh yeah, smooth sounds.

And this gives me some release - but not loads! I was going to ask if it's an ebow, but it's not is it? Sounds like a real bow?

I find this one a slightly more challenging listen!

This one follows Hopey Changey really well

I listened to these the other day while I was doing something else... I forgot to come back and comment. This is a gorgeous sound.

Wow. Amazing track. Starts all fairytale-like, then it evolves into something entirely different - can't make my mind up whether it's threatening or "hey let's party whether you like it or not"... but it's certainly insistent... And then I'm back home to fairytale land... but I feel slightly changed and not quite the innocent I was before... The tinkly little theme that I enticed me earlier sounds a little more sinister now.

Cool chorus on this one... but you're right there's something... It really shines later on after the bridge- I like the interaction between the vocal, bass and guitar - really bounces. But earlier it doesn't have the same effect and I can't really spot the difference - except the later one is surrounded by instrumental and maybe feels looser? The earlier ones feel a bit "held back" and "correct", and they don't draw attention to themselves like the later one. They also leads straight into and out of a verse section that doesn't sound a lot different - maybe you're right, maybe volume? Maybe take the drums down on the sung verses? Something to make the chorus stick out more? But yeah, this is a cool one.

Foot-tapping and exotic. Loving those p90 vibes.

Oh yeah, nice one.

Aha! Can't beat a falling bass line (I'm working on several things at the moment, and they've all got falling bass lines) ... Nice one, like it.

Intriguing sounds, quite a ride.

I agree with Guest (47.189.109.204) - "you're not done with this one" - I think there's another version, somewhere between the original and this one. It's a gorgeous song.

And a new verse! I listened to all three versions again - this is the one (which is probably a good thing, as it's the latest!!)
