Great work! I can hear the Tull influence but also reminiscent of Gordon Lightfoot... If you remember him?!

Wow... your vocals on this are just perfect. I hear that Jethro Tull influence there. Really pretty guitar playing.

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.)

Not what I was expecting at all! Gorgeous picking.

WOOF! "Thru this together..." lololol Superb stuff

Oh this is the stuff. Damn fine... I know someone who occasionally "collects" poppy seeds for planting in her own garden, can you get 3 to 5 for that?

Great stuff. And that's a truly fabulous vocal sound you've captured there - the intro was rolling along nicely and then, when the vocal came in, I just went "YESSS"

Nice. You two will be very happy together.

Superb version of this. Well done guys. Love it.

Like it. Tasty guitar.

Love the harp!

Rockin and rollin Yesss Wonderful version

Always love listening to your stuff :-) (The missus popped in and made appreciative noises as well) Off to Test Match Special now - come on England! lol

Yep, Tasty

Ooo! (I'm listening to your stuff while typing emails in another window), suddenly this jumps out at me. One of my favourite songs EVER. Mainly for the verses - I always find the chorus really difficult to do effectively, and I sometimes wonder if it lets the thing down a bit. But I reckon you've managed to pull it off and make it work :-)

Nice one.

Oh good grief! Can't believe I've missed hearing any of your stuff. Faved and Followed.

Oh wow. This is right up my street. Absolutely gorgeous vocals. Love the song too.

Beautiful.

Oh this is the business. Love it.

Enjoyed that.

Oh yeah, another fine version.

Lovely, just lovely.
