I was flapping around working on something else with just vocal and guitar the other day. It wasn't going well, so I just started slapping the guitar and singing one of my favourite songs.
What I didn't realise was that I was recording it…
If I had a pound for every time I played this I could probably buy a very nice Gibson, but I would love to have done it just like this. I bet this was closer to how it was written.

..dynamic vocal and slowed down bluesy essence..don't know why you bother with all the other instrumentation when you breath life into a song the way you do with just a bit of plunkin' 'n' gruntin' ..excellent..

The vastness of the ocean
A darkness in the sky
A lifetime of emotion
How hard you've had to try
To navigate the currents
And the demons in the deep
You have to stay awake

You wish that you could…
Heard something crawling in the walls this morning
Later on, I heard that fateful snap
The little critter never had a warning
I'll have to head on down to face the guilt that's waiting
When I check the trap
A pair of trees I planted in…
I saw the title when you uploaded a couple of weeks back... LOVE the title... and it doesn't disappoint (slightly different song than I'd have written with the same title, though!)
I suppose it could be worse
I know I'm lucky I'm all right
But I can tell that you've been cursed
And it keeps me up at night
So few are born to come in first
So many born into a fight
If the roles had been reversed
Would they still believe…
Some say, "It's the price you gotta pay"
Some say, "You gotta learn to walk away"
But I'm still standing in the light
And I won't go down without a fight
Some say, "True love is just a lie"
Some say, "You'll give it up before you die…
new song i wrote a few weeks ago about my feelings about god and stuff... (no hate directed to any religious person with this btw, this is just my own personal opinion!)
sorry for swearing so much in this lol??
also, special thanks to storm…
Wow wow wow ... nearly missed this amongst all the albums getting posted... Read the blurb, wasn't sure what I was going to make of it... But, as usual, wow... What a powerful performance. Your voice is stunning on this one. So glad I didn't miss this.
In the fading light, I compose a line
And then tongue tied tangled down upside
Unbroken
Unspoken
Better than the words I would have stumbled over
If you read my eyes, you could catch my vibe
Then I wouldn’t have to die inside
When the shivers go right down your spine like a river
Or the whiplash from turning your head to the coast
Brace, the stormfront breaching outside,
Every tree, bends like a dragons tail
We lean our bodies toward the headwinds
turning our…
Out in the field I spy a rabbit
One of the ordinary kind
You never thought you’d meet the neighbors, did you
You never thought you’d take a drive
I see you now you’re running fast
You’re turning inside out
Caught the blade, shovel’s edge…
Bit the apple through the core, then made sure to taste the poison
You can’t fare thee well no more, when you’re out on the horizon’s edge
Don’t stare at the sun, an Icarus flight, we’re all meant to come, back down.
Shoot an arrow off…
Pointed sextant toward the north star
True direction is where you are
Roads of Rome lead to elsewhere
Can we go, no echo, no opinion
Unreal show, on your phone, no one’s watching
A din of quiet desperation
Soothing blanket fort vacation…
Wow. Some serious guitar going on in all these layers... you're making me feel/think Alex Lifeson. This is some seriously good orchestration of guitars. Love the song too!
Queen maybe doors ajar, shall we take dinner and a movie
Can’t wait for shooting stars, when all the galaxy’s for choosing
One step to the floor
One step maybe more

Where did you go, man on a mission, path of omission
Out of control, lack of contrition, where did you go
You hid the clouds, black helicopter, waiting forever
A man the crowd, a plant or an actor, where did he go
You were caught there…
Holy moly... I only listened to the first minute or so last night (we were settling down to eat and watch a film) ... I thought I might not be so impressed this morning - WOAH! Love it.

Look, it's not a Letter Seventeen record if I don't end it with something like this. Plus, I spent way too much time playing with orchestral libraries all summer to not use them somewhere.
It started off so nice
A time for you and me

I developed a strong obsession with the building blocks of pop songs and tried to craft one. Unfortunately, I wrote it in a key that was high enough that the combination of the rapid-fire words and the pitch nearly made me pass out while singing…

Nice take on a great cover.
Nice job Andrew! I really like the laid back feel to it. Your voice is especially good. Great cover of a great song.
Nice!
Passionate, emotional, gripping, and huge - all words found in my dictionary to describe this. Thanks, Andrew. G:)
Great vocals! and a real FEEL version of a great tune ...
a really really nice retelling of a great song!! your vocal and playing is so rich
Epic, your vocals are quite theatrical (in a good way) :)
Back again....
This would bring the room down! Set it on fire! Killer!
..dynamic vocal and slowed down bluesy essence..don't know why you bother with all the other instrumentation when you breath life into a song the way you do with just a bit of plunkin' 'n' gruntin' ..excellent..
One of my favorite songs too! I like how you belted it out. That's the ticket. You can feel the grit in there. Well Done!
Epicly awesome! Great hook! Great lines! No stinker! G:)
Getting into the groove. Quality across the board! Cheers, A! G:)
Hi Andrew, another winner. This has it all, vocals,playing and production. Love it.
Right up my street,alley,passage or whatever interconnecting construct passes my crib.....nice one ...love the bouncy tempo and the gravelly vox....Paolo Nutini who?........
Her hunting crop....love the lyrics...;)
well, i agree with much of what has already be said,, this is realllly a great piece of rock!! very well done and recorded,, very clear love listening to all the parts r
Hey, really rocking tune! I love the leads especially the dueling guitars. Great melody and nice backing vox.
Awesome!

Oh huge sound again - love it. Fabulous song.
I saw the title when you uploaded a couple of weeks back... LOVE the title... and it doesn't disappoint (slightly different song than I'd have written with the same title, though!)
Massive stereo! Gorgeous sound... loads of space for the message in the middle.
Oh yeah. Love that "All I am..."

Fantastic end to a superb album. I was going to listen to a couple of RPMs this morning, but I need a rest now, this was so good, many thanks.
This one too. Wow, this one is amazing.
I absolutely ADORE this one.
Oh yes.
Wow. Some serious guitar going on in all these layers... you're making me feel/think Alex Lifeson. This is some seriously good orchestration of guitars. Love the song too!
There's some really cool chords in this one. Love the swagger. And then the saxophone(?) on the out. Mighty cool.
Holy moly... I only listened to the first minute or so last night (we were settling down to eat and watch a film) ... I thought I might not be so impressed this morning - WOAH! Love it.
Woah!!! Maybe me too... (but I'll probably be dialling it up tomorrow) .... rockingg! :)
Yeah we like this a lot ("we" being Mr & Mrs R)
Enjoyed listening to this set. Cool title, Meet The Neighbours, too.
Oh yes, nice one.
Love the groove on this one. Cool song too.
Oh yeah. Like this opener... I'm in!
Excellent set of songs. Well done.
Another v cool chorus. Excellent vocals.
