Great stuff the lyrics moved me and I take pride In being a stoic The picking style is driving in an old timey way This is really fine good work , Andrew

I as a stage hand for 25 years and this song is like something from a traveling broadway musical. I worked Fantom, Beaty and The Beast, Jeckle and Hyde, Spam-a-Lot. Many many. This song is perfect as the whole cast comes back on stage to form a choir as they exit fading.

This song just reeks with sadness. Completely different voice from Edith. The starkness really works in the one.

Andrew, Thank you for keeping up with me lately. I just spent three hours coming up with that one minute. It took me that long to think of something to say. Thanks for commenting. 82 degrees in Cowtown and time to take the puppies for a walk. Thanks again for listening and commenting.

Another keeper. I love the guitar playing. It’s one positive thing that has come out of this mess that everyone is in. Some great music is surfacing.

Deep thoughts about being responsible. Great fguitar finger picking.

Thanks so much for the background notes. You are so right.... now I love it even more. And it sounds like you are an amazing friend as well... but no surprise there!!!! Hugs to you !!

This is a great composition and the production top notch! Excellent work!

Wow..... just wow. Between the shoebox and the broom closet there is a magic Songwriting genius machine. This one choked me up. So so sad and so well done.

I dig it!

You is the most important word in songs. I learned that from a poet named Shannon Elizabeth on Facebook. Thank you for telling me more. Once we've captured a story in a song some of the confusion from the time is illuminated. We don't ave to cling to is, so as not to lose the memories.

What a fine vocal. The intensity! And that very folky guitar snags me deep. So many stabs at the heart in your lyric. Trying to figure out who You" is.

It was definitely worth perservering with - love the melancholic vibe

Great songwriting here. Reminds me of Verve Pipe, very good.

Good one mate, I know where you're coming from, glad I'm not alone on the swearing and Take 550 ...... ' get it right you useless ******* ' or words to that effect I always use ....

Well you’ve proved to yourself your not “crap” reminds me of something my father would say to me time and time again “ don’t touch that you’ll break it “ and I normally did. Pleased you saved this one from the shoe box an excellent lyric love it pie pod bound along with all your others 😁

You're currently writing amazing songs that make my heart hurt a bit. If that didn't happen, I'd like them even more. That's the trouble with fantastic songwriters.

Huge and mighty, as usual, Mr Russe. (Poor Edith, happy or not, I do wish she was getting something like a hotdog or a gun.)

@Jane So dead puppies and 3-In-One in the knicker drawer is ok then? LOL

You can't do that to kittens! :o Other than that - magnificence :)

LOLOLOLOL ... Yep. I hear you!

Oh crumbs, and another. I'm really digging these.

Another perfectly formed song presented in a way that grabs/moves me - love it.

I think this the first time I've ever heard any of your stuff. Woah, loving it.

I absolutely LOVE this.

Excellent RPM guys :)

Yeah, gotta agree with Keith Landry - this is a bit of stunner. If I was still a smoker I'd be tempted to hold my lighter aloft!

This one makes me think of The Who - haven't listened to them in ages. I can't even put a finger on why it made me think that. Anyway love this one

I love how the different songwriters produce a different sort of song but they all fit on an Orphans album.

Do you put much thought into sequencing tracks? If not, this is INSPIRED sequencing so far! Love this coming after Brighter Side. DIgging the organ on this one, I'm a sucker for the Hammond sound.

Nice one

Well that was faved after 30 seconds! Superb opener.

Yep. awesome album. You never disappoint, but I think this one feels like a new high for me. Nice one, well done.

This one dragged me back from the work window. Yes, love it.

Oh yeah...

What no comments? This one works for me. Love the lyrics... Actually, I'm wondering whether, like me, you were watching the winter olympics while writing? All sorts of stuff snuck into my lyrics, inspired by the coverage in the background. And when the games finished, the ideas dried up for a day or two for me - almost like I'd relied on them. Anyways, remembering how I was feeling those couple of weeks, I can kinda see how this one might have had the same thing going on in the background.

Classy (I'm running out of superlatives). I'm digging this album.

This grew on me. Love the chorus, I think that's what did it for me.

What can I add that hasn't been said already? (Dang, Riff, Wow) ... digging it.

Whoa! What an opener. It was cool as it started, then the band kicked in. Love it.
