I should be working . . . but . . . I just had to take another pass through your video again.
Something about that last chord and the expression on your face.
Now, off to work!

coool guitar! nicely-pitched vox. humour, I like. nice progression. poignant and heartfelt. stopping listening before the end, as I don't want to cry at it. G:) thank you.

That is an incredible tune. Lyrically excellent! I love the riff. Those acoustics sound perfecto! Short but sweet, makes u want to hear more. Great Andrew :).
So I was locked in the broom-cupboard, checking out some old songs that need recording.
I'd just picked one and then suddenly this thing came out of nowehere. It started with one of those guitarist doodles that other musicians love so much…
First new one from me in a long time.
Kind of a love song, I guess.
Recorded in my new "studio" (3rd bedroom in the new house). Almost up and running now... shine and don't stop wondering!

i agree with williew,, the less you use,,(man and guitar) the harder it is to pull off,,, and indeed you do it here! i love the quiet understated , personal, right with you feel of this... and that's not even speaking of the lyrics,,, simply put "to die for",, beautiful, you have made my sunday eve,, quite magical,,, r
A song for whoever likes it. Erm, and it's not really what this life is all about - but don't ask me what it is about, or even why you want to know what it's all about....erm...rambling now.
Well I likes it :)
(Incidentally, this life is all about trying to get out of it alive... I understand there's a HUGE prize waiting for the first person who manages it... I think it's a whole week's supply of Sainsbury's Basics Vanilla Ice Cream)
Another one jip1965 sent to me for playing with!
Silent and magical
Calming and practical
Moonbeams, silver moonbeams
Filtering through the air
Twinkling in our hair
Moonbeams, silver moonbeams
Dancing on the leaves of trees

I am blind but I read you like I´m reading braille
I´m half drunk but what is rushing through my veins
Isn´t caffeine or alcohol though the kick feels much the same
Blind, half drunk I stumble but I’ll get up and try again

Oh yeah! :)
You were made to do this stuff... Now you gotta figure out how to incorporate this into the original songwriting... (don't ask me how - I can't do it either!!! lol)

oldrottenhead
On Norwegian shores
Neath the autumn sky
Sitting by the water’s edge
Counting bees and flies
I’ll soon be going home again
I’ll be saying goodbye to my friends
On Norwegian shores
The sunlight bright
See a million stars

@LJ - Yeah, no more Mr Nice Guy! Let's have good ole Angus, "Dr Death", from the old days... lol

As I reflected on the 100th anniversary this past year of the ship's sinking, this song brought me back to the piano and this was the rendition that was produced as I thought of that fateful night. Original music by James Horner and lyrics by…
Oh yeah. Listened to some of your stuff last night - lovely piano playing.
But this is just gorgeous... Mrs R doing a "Bridget Jones" on the sofa even as we speak... (and it's only 9.45am)
I am slowly coming to the realization that I am sacred.
I trust you do as well.
It was so easy to be bitter
To hate the life I was born into
And I almost lost myself in this fight
Cutting what was so sacred
I could not see beyond…

Once upon a time, a man couldn't think of a song to save his life, and then one night it just came together. I miss the cello though. (all recordings are a work in progress)

I love the guitar. The video . . . Nice addition! Who is that Handsome fella playing the guitar? Well done Andrew! Great song!
That is an incredible tune. Lyrically excellent! I love the riff. Those acoustics sound perfecto! Short but sweet, makes u want to hear more. Great Andrew :).
Nice song. Great lyrics, great vocals!

ROCKIN!! Those drums have got me in hysterics.
Well I likes it :) (Incidentally, this life is all about trying to get out of it alive... I understand there's a HUGE prize waiting for the first person who manages it... I think it's a whole week's supply of Sainsbury's Basics Vanilla Ice Cream)

Wow - this is wonderful.
@LJ - Yeah, no more Mr Nice Guy! Let's have good ole Angus, "Dr Death", from the old days... lol (He seems to have put on a bit more weight than I imagined, though...)
Gorgeous playing. The song's never really moved me as much as other things do, but this version is beautiful.
Oh yeah. Listened to some of your stuff last night - lovely piano playing. But this is just gorgeous... Mrs R doing a "Bridget Jones" on the sofa even as we speak... (and it's only 9.45am)
Yep sirree... Don't need to mess with it for my money. Instant fave.
Yep, this is a bit special
Oh yeah. Fine version.

Brilliant... This had me in hysterics, a work of genius.
Yep, another good one :)
