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 :)

wow!!!! Your voice is just epic!!! I love the pacing of this song. It makes me want to know all the backstory about Edith. An instant fav...

Superb song :)

Classy. Love the guitars. Fine song.

Oh very tasty.

Beautiful

Nice one. Didn't actually feel like 12 and half minutes. Epic, well worth a listen.

I *think* I like this one more(?) Feels a bit like more of a "guitarists" version? I was much more aware of "hey cool guitar" than one the other one. I think it's one where you can do unlimited versions, and they're all as good as each as other and you won't be able to decide! LOL

Oh yeah, this is a goodie. Love the sound. And that guitar playing with the old whammy - very tasty.

More tasty wah. Some groovy bass-playing too.

And that wah-break... YES

Wow! That's a big sound. Those guitars sound superb.

Wot, no comments? No Faves? Love it. I get it, and the idea works for me.

This is a fine version. I'm with Brett - it sounds like early Genesis covering it. In fact, it makes me want to listen to the first few Genesis albums! Nice one, gorgeous sound.

Aww, this is a fabulous acoustic slide blues.

Nice one. But what's happening in that bunker this year? I mean, I disappear for a few months, and when I get back Reg has cheered up!!! What is the world coming to? Very cool song.

Oh yes, rockin. I'm not too good at family gatherings. I'd be tempted to feed them the dog... "What are we having for dinner?" "I've done you a nice curry :-)"

Yep, that's the biz. Tasty from start to finish.

Oh yeah. Like it LOTS. Accent works really well - almost tempted to say it makes it!

Like it.

LOL (It did remind me that Mrs Russe and I met on the internet!)

Woo!! brave man taking this on with just acoustic and vocal. Hats off to you, sir. Nice one, like it.
