Hi Andrews! Pleased to meet you here on this wonderful site, and thanks for the kind words on my tracks earlier this week.
I really like this song! A great story, and so richly delivered. I look forward to listening to more of your music!

Just posted a remix of this one - I was never happy with the old one and couldn't figure out why...
I finally did yesterday - the vocals were mixed too loud!
So I lowered the vox and took some bottom end off the band (thanx Stoman - You were right!)
Next in the little pile of songs from the shoe-box. This one has the date 27th January 1994 written on it, but it's describing an episode from many years earlier when I was, I'm guessing, something like 12 or 13 years old.
I had to go to a…

This is an oldie. Recorded in 2005. It was the first recording I finished on a DAW, but I'd played it a lot in the last band I was in (around the turn of the century). I think it was written in the mid 90s. It's about one of the casualties of…

The part up to the chorus sounds like the early Cat Stevens, before you morph into David Essex again. :D
Great stuff, Andy! I'm not sure if the clicks come from the internet connection (or did you want to create a vintage vinyl impression?). But I'll download the track anyway, so I'll soon know. :)
The mix is a little bass heavy, but the song is still great.

Theatrical and remniscent of Meat Loaf and late Freddie Mercury at times in delivery, feel. Thanks very much as well Andrew for the nice words on some my trax.

A fantastic, brilliant, colorful, delicious, epic composition! This is one of those one-in-a-million exceptional bit of songwriting. I'm impressed. A lot of mojo happening here. Take a bow, cause I'm standing and applauding this one -- FABULOUS! 5 STARS!
This one is all gimmick but I like it. I think it has album track one potential, but I'm not sure yet.
The last few projects I've done have seen me writing melodies out on a keyboard, then writing lyrics to fit the melody, then recording the…
The notes about the chorus made me laugh. Yes - I tried singing along, I couldn't even manage the two halves! I'd have given up and used two tracks, two voices, singing alternate lines. That would work - even if you make it obvious it would still work for the listener. And it's an excellent melody.

A couple of notes: First, I am so tired as I finish up this mix that I have no idea if this sounds good or not. Second, I am not sure if I like this song or not, but I am kinda leaning toward liking it. Third, I am pretty sure I already wrote…
This was a problem child.. The other tracks fell together quickly but this was a slow burn. The chorus is far more uplifting than the verse - which reminds me of a melancholy hybrid of 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' and the outro to the 70s British…
A new song
Hans Nooitgedagt Sr - lead guitar

Heres one I found on my Hard drive an experiment with Igor 2016 part of a project called mmmm I believe (Hi Igor its been a while...) anyway hope you enjoy
Another new song
Did this one on my own

I turned on my TV
And I watched the news
A virus on a killing spree
It just gave me the blues
Watching my TV
Couldn't believe what I did see
The president…
Classic jazz was my father’s choice at home ,us kids knew all the greatest horn players . This is for Dad .
Les Paul gold top with p -90 ‘s. Fender jazz bass .
When you talk about me you always put
Me down
You always say I’d be better off
Under ground
You were really holding back tonight
Alright
You offered me a second shot
But why?
It Doesn’t matter what I say
It Doesn’t matter what I…
Can’t you find a way, to get
Closer to me
Don’t think about leaving,
Think about me
Don’t throw it away
You’re all that I have
You’re all that I need
Look at me falling, lady
Head over heels
Doesn’t that move you baby?
Closer to…
I hope you’re the right one for me, you see
Time is ticking, I’ve been thinking
This can’t be forever you see, for me
It’s been so long and I’ve been strong
But too many things have happened
I need a change
I hope you’re understanding…
Please let me in, baby Let me in, let Me in, Baby let me in
I’m looking up your number now
Hoping to hook up somehow
When you hear me ring?
Please let me in
Baby let me in, let me in, Baby, let me in
I’m knocking on your door right…
We’ve been down that road
So many times, before
I know it isn’t easy
For you to let it go
We both agreed, to take things slowly
But when we take off, watch us go
Take me now, I just feel, like letting go
Take me right now, I’m letting…
You can look forever
For your happy home
But you won’t find it
No matter where you roam
You need some direction
You can count on me
And I’ll be your fool
Every time you’re feeling
You have lost your way
You come to me
And pretend…
I have NO idea what you're singing about... :-) but I'm loving your daily songs and find myself waiting for them to appear. Just played this one to Mrs R - she likes it too.

Oh, yes, the new version sounds even better. The bass still sticks out a little on some notes, but overall it sounds great.

This one really tickled me. Great job!
The more I listen to this the more I like it.
Still love this classic of yours
Great stuff Angus love it!
The part up to the chorus sounds like the early Cat Stevens, before you morph into David Essex again. :D Great stuff, Andy! I'm not sure if the clicks come from the internet connection (or did you want to create a vintage vinyl impression?). But I'll download the track anyway, so I'll soon know. :) The mix is a little bass heavy, but the song is still great.
excellent blending of instruments, voice and sounds/textures. Good drums too.
Love this. So much drama. Great contrasts.
Theatrical and remniscent of Meat Loaf and late Freddie Mercury at times in delivery, feel. Thanks very much as well Andrew for the nice words on some my trax.
Great keys mate nice track and thanks for your comment
Very interesting story. Your music catches the mystery of it.
As usual your work shines. Keep on keepin' on.
Damn! That is one fine piece of work! Love all the different layers that are going on
Nice one - great sounds here.
Wow . . . this one raised the standard. Nice job Andrew.
Wow, truly EPIC! amazing vocals! I like the summary of what inspired it too.
Progtastic!!!

Nearly missed this one. Glad I didn't, it's mighty cool.
Oh yes. Liking this. Loving the guitars.
And this. Yes.
I haven't been keeping up - yep, good one.
Well that works for me. Nice one. I'm a sucker for a falling bass line.
Nice one. Digging that guitar.
Oh, this is SO cool - really glad you found it.
Rockin :)
Cool track, nice one.
Awww... sweet and tasty.
I'm right in thinking these earlier posted tracks are the later recorded ones? Slightly different feel - loving them all.
There's some superb vocals on these tracks.
Ooo, here's a different feel. Nice one.
Yep, you've got that 60s-70s pop-rock vibe that I love.
Loving the feel you guys are getting.
It sounds to me like you guys have got more than one lead vocalist?
Oh yes, cool sounds :)
I have NO idea what you're singing about... :-) but I'm loving your daily songs and find myself waiting for them to appear. Just played this one to Mrs R - she likes it too.
Oh yes. A mightily cool tune. I close my eyes and can taste it. Nice one.
