OK, let's delve once more into the magical shoebox of unused songs...
I've already recorded several that were written in 1994 (Sleeping with the Ghost, Elizabeth's Room, With Mum Again, If You Knew, A Hundred and…
My credo belongs to this and many of your songs. The only old songs are the ones that have been on the top of charts. Everything else is brand new, mostly unheard and on it's way to the charts. You have great music. I hit the strip like the super ego driven organ grinder monkey I am. Nothing can truly put words to the experiences of 76 to 96 and so on
First new one from me in a long time.
Kind of a love song, I guess.
Recorded in my new "studio" (3rd bedroom in the new house). Almost up and running now... shine and don't stop wondering!

Good to get a discussion going now, even if a bit round the houses!! Glad it wasn’t just me re the Floyd thing on this track, and now reading other comments from your thread, I can agree some Tull influence too...a rather excellent combination! I was late to the Floyd party, to be fair, being a total Genesis nut since forever, but then when I was invited to join a PF tribute in 2008 for a few years, grew to love their music totally.....

Hi there...this is the only was I can see to thank you for your regular positive comments for my orchestrations and Soundscapes!! But can I also now say that I love the feel of this track...may I say a bit reminiscent of Pink Floyd?....especially the lead solo..

Ok, grabbed me right away with that unexpected chord shift in the intro. I love your songwriting, man. The variety, the sonic palettes, the lyrics, the playing, the inventiveness, all of it really; it's such a pleasure to sit, listen, and lose myself in the song.

A little less "cuddly" than I was expecting from the title though... Not sure whether the object of the song needs to take out a restraining order or not lol

One of the first songs I ever wrote... When we bought our first house, we had a nice big back yard on a 1/3 acre lot... With the train tracks just on the other side of the back fence.
The second of two versions of Keith Landry's great song.

I love the groove. And how your vocal works that reverb in the verses.
This is my attempt at incorporating some classical instrumentation with a song ... I even tried singing a bit of opera ... well one bar of deep "la la's" LOL. Used my Godin acoustic electric for this one.
Thanks for listening

Okay Andrew R. , this ones for you bud. Had a little fun with it in the intro. That was the surprise.

YESSIRREEE!
This is the bizness. I knew you could pull it off :)
Particularly love the bridges ("That's why") and how they slam into the chorus. Always loved those bits...
And the solo, and the guitar on the last chorus/out - sounds like you've got walls of plexis rattling the control room windows.

Oh so descending front ending then ascend to a massive middle eight . Great forward motion . Cutting slicing lyrics. Does it for me Jethro
Absolutely top-drawer in terms of composition, performance and sonically 👏
Different and beautiful. I like the build and drop, high/low contrast in the song.
Just had my daily listen to this song ...love everything about it 😎
Love the slow pace of this piece, gives it a bit of a solemn vibe Very well written and performed Good one, Andrew! KC
Haunting ... and beautifully arranged. Definitely well described as “glass completely bluddy empty” though
morning Andrew. Your secret Celtic self is peeking out here, I think you should be your self more often on this highland rank , cus I think its sweeeeeeet
Love the guitar on this :) They've certainly stood the test of time! x
Love that unexpected chord change in the middle eight - Great work!
I love that wooden acoustic sound. Nice little hook in there. It’s another winner Andrew.
This group of songs is just amazing. To think about you writing them in '94... amazing. Your guitar is just gorgeous on this one. Awesome all around.

This is great, simply great. I love how you are able to sing this so well, even with your tongue firmly planted in your cheek.

Oooh yeah. Nice one.
Oh yeah... Nailed it. This is superb
Now that works. I love the aahs leading into and through the string section.
Aw this is fabulous
Yeah... like it. Grab an oar and get rowing ya buggers...
Thought I'd better listen to the original after hearing Colin Garvey's covers of it. Yep, I can see why he went for it. Nice one.
Like both versions. But, with the mood I'm in, this one edges it for me at the moment. And you're right, it's a great song.
Rocking stuff.
Yep, liking the sounds you're making :)
That's a cool groove. Welcome. Yep, this is the place to put your stuff. One of the things I love about it is that I end up hearing and enjoying stuff that I wouldn't normally search out... like this! lol Looking forward to hearing more

Might be bog standard, but it sounds great :)
Wacky as ever... :) Liking those rhythm guitar sounds a lot.
Very cool track. Love the arrangement, vocals, everything.
