Not really sure where this came from - but I find it REALLY comforting. That might not be how others hear it, but that's ok, songs get finished…
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!

It wasn't really like this, it was very romantic.
This was a really quick write, though.
We were getting up, she was doing her hair…
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.

(Remastered 22/10/2021)
I've been missing in action for ages - apologies to all, I'm about to start listening again too.
For ages, I'd been considering a move away from my trusty Boss BR1600 on which I've recorded and mixed nearly everything…

First collaboration with Greg Connor for 2014!!

Song about idolising people. Mr Supercool is anyone we think deserves our idolatry - could be a him, or a her, or even oneself. Mr Supercool cares nothing for anyone. He has no love.
Anyway - glad to be back messing with music again after…

Aww... this SO needs the busted fave button...
What a return!
Fabulous.
Wonderful groove, excellent vox, and a really catchy chorus.
And the instrumental - bliss...
And then how the lead vox steps out from backing vox after the instrumental. I assume it's intentional, but if not - DO NOT FIX IT!
Superb track.
Excellent performance by Gene on programmed drums, rhythm guitar and bass, with Farrell on lead guitar. I'm on vocals. Hope you enjoy us on this old Zep Classic................

This is the fourth of seven for the 2013 NaSoAlMo. I think this was the first thing I worked on, but everything is so disorganized right now that I haven't got a clue anymore.
Four part harmonies in the chorus. Yes, a first for me. Sure…
The "umph" heard round the world.

This is a very old tune that finally got recorded the way I had always envisioned it. The only thing missing is real drums, but I think the midi drums could be worse. :)
Guitars: Frank Zax
Bass: Andy Gupta

We've always adored this song, there is another version but decided to re-record it. Now I think the Good Wife sounds quite good, when I think of the crap health problems she endured over the last 4 years. I am bias of course !!!! Lastly apologies…

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

...Phew! lol Like it. A more sprawling and spaced-out take on it.
This better be good... (fave LZ song)
Nice one. Like the harmonies - do more. And very tasty guitar playing.
Oh crumbs, yes, very splendid geetar. And sounds fabulous.
:)
Oh yes, like it.
Like how you're using the delays for harmonies. Tasty playing.
Woo! (widdly-woo? lol) That's pretty darn impressive.
Gorgeous sound!
Don't know the original... Like this, though :)
Short and sweet! I'm intrigued as to how this is all going to fit together.
Oh yes, and this one.
This one grabs me a lot.
