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 :)

Ooo, I found this cos someone favourited it (thanks B!) It's gorgeous :)

@guest :) don't let that inner puppy get sunburned. Some of what you've been doing yourself recently went into the ability to create this one. And I nearly even posted the songwriting demo!!! :0

Beautiful.

Oh yes. Fabulous.

I was listening to them in order, enjoying everything, and then suddenly this one kicked into action - quite woke me up :) Loving what you're doing.

Like it :) I was reading the comments, and waiting for the harmonies - oh yes.

Oh what a classic! This is hilarious and utterly brilliant. You're not Nigel Tuffnel are you?

Can't get over this one though... Off to the broom-cupboard now to exorcise my inner Percy

Like I said off elsewhere... I loved Every Day. This does the job, boy do it do the job :)

Wooo! When I read "hip-hop" I thought, oh no, it won't grab me. SO WRONG!! I love this. Yeah, do more, post more :) Faved and followed.

Hahahaa Fantastic, utterly brilliant. The audacity to take this on... Made me rethink some old bollox I've got waiting for me to finish... Superb guys - HUGE grin on this old face... :)

You asked the other day about the story behind Sleeping With The Ghost - I've been wracking my brains to remember what caused it. It's pretty much out of my head, and I was exploring the break-up of my first marriage - although I'm not sure I actually knew it was breaking up at the time I wrote it! I think the imagery came from a children's program on UK TV when I was younger? I think it might have been called The Mandeville Ghost, or something like that, anyway. There is a ghost of "Sir Geoffrey of Mandeville" documented - contains nothing like this though. Also, the legend behind the plot in "The Hound of the Baskervilles" had a quite a bit to do with the pictures in my head when I was writing it.

oooo, very nice. I liked the original, and the flute addition is wonderful (for some reason the sound of a flute takes me nearer to "an afternoon kiss" than just piano alone does).

Could this possibly be the same Rosie that was round my place the other day? Surely not? :-o Small world... (But don't tell the missus...) This is a mighty fine song... the one I got out of it is just a touch "racier" - I'm waiting for Steve Tyler to do his vocal on it now - But if it is the same girl, I reckon she's been a-messin' both you boys around some...

Brilliant. And the folks who don't mind failing... seem to be the folks who succeed in the stuff that matters. I love this one.

Oh yeah, great sound. I wanna hear some vocals on it. Lovely feel on the lead. LOVELY feel.

brilliant :)

Just been round all 22, and back to the start (still going) FABULOUS stuff, many thanks :) Looking forward to what you do next.

Oooooh - shivery and wonderful. And another perect fit, title to music.

And this one brought me back to the alonetone window as well - gorgeous. And again, the title Enticement was perfect. The music had already put the image of someone I know in my head... and "enticing" and "enticement" describe her perfectly.
