I'm going to play this a lot along with She was dead ... fantastic.

Hauntingly beautiful. Well done!

Love the chord changes in the intro. Great hook.

Yup the same around here the haint remains when the body is gone. Its a bit hard to explain unless you are A Cherokee I liked your explanation for all of us to peek into your process. good on this

Don't usually comment on my own songs, but in case there's any confusion... YES Greg - there is no humour in the song at all, none intended, I feel it the same way as you... and I actually love it for that myself... it's what the song evolved into from a joke verse I wrote (In Tom Waits voice, Roger! hehe) ... But when I was first recording it, in my own voice, x years ago it was SO sad (and not in a "Bobby Goldsboro - Honey" good kind of way) that we decided to put it in the filing cabinet for a while!

Well done! The title is very inviting. I couldn’t help but listen. I never found the humor, but rather a poignant feeling of loss, eloquently described.

Love it Andrew, reminds me of a Young Tom Waites. And yes loved Moonlighting, and yes done the whole West Wing, was pondering should we watch it again .... yet ?

Beautiful version

Andrew, Connie's Song is a song I do not remember writing and I have no idea what it's about. I must have been very sleepy. I have never sung in that voice before. Thank you for commenting.

A little touch of 80's or am i wrong? anyway i like this. Production value: ACE.

You always have the crispiest sounding rock pieces. Very nice!

Sounds to me like a song ' The Child Catcher ' should sing, Ha Ha, creepy but happy all at the same time, love it.

Ha! Whoever gave you such a command is a fricking genius... And boom! You've created a new genre: s-c-a-r-y happy. Arrangement is fabulous - backing vocals, guitar...brilliant! *hides*

Crazy good moves slide into a Beatles style chorus how did this work ? I don’t know but it did . Most respected

Going to have this one locked in my head for a very long time...... thanks! (I think!!)

Great message and wonderful music. Your guitar parts are fantastic.

I think we both needed a break from the dark covid songs :-) very well written song! enjoyed! KC

Loving it 😁

Thanks for your comments on my latest... I agree with you... some things we’ve changed during this time would be best if we adopted them forever. I don’t think I can ever drive in bumper to bumper traffic ever again... virtual hugs to you and yours. Thanks for listening!!

Not sure I've heard the unstripped version - have to go hunting. Like this one though :)

And this too... love the harmonies.

Yep :)

Wonderful.

lol - the bass was an organ set to "hammer house of horrors", perhaps I overdid it! (The reverb on the vox is deliberately "chilly" as well) I wanted stark and lonely in the verses. But I also wanted comfort in the choruses - which is what the other instrumentation was intended to bring... but I've given up on that idea... it now sounds to me like the singer is incapable of bringing the comfort he offers, and he knows it... so I'll leave it them both to it :) And nope, I didn't steal the teddy bear... But mine were removed from me and given to my sister when I was about 8 years old... so I do know exactly what I'm talking about lol

This is a little bit special.

Oh this one! Without a doubt :) Listened to all four tracks as well. Nice one. I loathed the Buzzcocks in the late 70s, but I came to appreciate them a lot more later.

Woo yeah. This un's a goodie. And a real stand-out Reg vocal on here. Superb.

Having another listen for that guitar sound :) Funnily enough, my SG and Explorer have swapped pickups (wonder if this had anything to do with it?). The SG has come off slightly better I think, been using it a lot last few days - slightly more, er, raucous than this, but it can do these sounds as well now.

I'm reaching that conclusion too :) If I'd held it back and put the parts on that I was rehearsing that day it would have been fine... and possibly better... But I was trying them out today, and they seem surplus to requirements now! (Mrs R has got her way lol)

:) It's the rock part in the middle that grabs me most - love your vocal in that section, almost fluid and liquid. I like how the whole things hangs together. Just waiting for that weird ending now.... ah here tis... oh yes, very cool ending!

Woo yeah... two nice songs. Looking forward to hearing more.

Nice one. Heartfelt stuff.

Wot a voice!! Magnificent.

Ooh yeah, love the skipping/bubbling rhythm.

Haven't heard the original mix, but I love this.

Wonderful music.

Don't know the original at all... but this sounds gorgeous.

It's hard to go wrong with this tune... but this is just gorgeous. Love the arrangement. I find myself drifting between following the melody and following the accompaniment. Masterful stuff.

Yep... it is ok already :)
