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 :)

Well, I've not heard this one before meself... Very very tasty

BIG vocal! Nice one.

Yep sirree... Love it. I'd love to hear how you were originally trying it as well. It sounds like a song that could benefit from all sorts of approaches (well, what song couldn't). But I like this string arrangement.

Yah buggers!! (Quietly takes a sheet of paper out of the pile of "possible covers to attempt") Brilliant, guys. Mighty fine version

Yeah, like this one, it's a grower

Good start! lol It rocks, I love the groove when it kicks in.

Nice one.

Back for another listen. Last time I listened to this I immediately went upstairs and wrote/sang some rude lyrics into my recording machine... This time I'm just gonna go to bed and have a nice sleep...

Nice one. I'm getting "happy" from this too - still with an underlying "something else", though lol

Superb. Utterly brilliant track. Not my usual kind of thing musically... but it dragged me in... and, well, wow...

Oh yeah, a FINE version. I'd NEVER have guessed that The Band was the next on the list lol What's next???

Oh crumbs, this is brilliant. It's a bit of a stunner...

Ohh it's totally fabulous. A superb lead vocal performance, blissful to listen to. And I'm with La Savage on the backing vox - they are gorgeous.

Like how this one skips along. And I love the sentiments :)

Oh yeah, this is the biz. Lovely stuff. I've tried using a Zippo as a slide - can't get on with it, just can't compete with the stack of various slides standing beside the recording machine... As a lighter, though, cannot be beaten :)

Couldn't get this to play... had to download it to listen to it.... But, boy, was it worth the effort!! Gorgeous.

Like it. There is so much going on in here. I'm a bit tired at the moment anyway, but I just lay here on the sofa and let it wash over me.

Huge and rocking.

Yep, like your stuff - looking forward to hearing more.

Fantastic sound. Love your voice.
