This is one of my favorites ever!!!! The tension builds as though she's really had quite the trip indeed.... What really happened on the pier... Excellent!!!!!

Very inspiring lyrics! I can hear all the anthem-esque background arrangements. Love this one!

Sort of song I would expect from Elbow ... very good ....

Well, this is LOVELY.

My wife loves Brighton, been they a few times to see some gigs, always turned the wrong way to get back to Portsmouth and yes ... Fish and Chips on the pier....

So, So good ....

You are a smoking hot song writer these days. These are all great songs and an ispiration to the rest of us.

Great story telling. I love the Tattoo part. Some of those never wash off. Maybe that can be your next song.

Lovely.

I love it! Great title and topic for this song.

Another great tune! wow...7 in 7 days...that is a lot of creative energy. Really beautiful song and your singing is powerful. I do like this unplugged version btw. But yes, a little vodka martini will go with it nicely.

Hahaha! An uplifting musical postcard which I'm sharing on facebook as I didn't send any! That made me smile! It's all true apart from the rain. (And I didn't touch the pickled eggs.) LL x :-D

oh yeah! That's an awesome song - that challenge is bringing out some great creativity. I love the chord changes - some unexpected ones in there!

Just in time for Valentine's Day, you old softy, and yes you deserve a break - awesome start to what's apparently not a challenge for you at all! (LL again, on the way back from Brighton...)

Take a breath ... it's my wife's birthday tomorrow, 69 not out .... Love it ... sorry if I put you off ....

Thanks for keeping me company on the train to Brighton. Looking forward to hearing you develop these in time. Liking unplugged Russe - enjoying the rawness and spontaneity in places, making the artistry all the more apparent. LL x

Liking unplugged Russe!

Great song. Was playing and singing along with it like I wrote it. I didn't know the word 'demo' still existed in music. It sure doesn't apply to this tune. Sure as a puffy(singer/songwriter/player) I hear the layers...but at the end of the song it was perfect as it was. I totally get the 'wait until you hear it with everything I hear' composer vibe. But this aint no demo. This is a song. Awesome I'm a wordy bastard considering I'm just your basic''ego driven organ grinder monkey'!

Awesome! Very catchy melodically (complex in a great way) and otherwise. I love the bridge....and the "they don't count anymore"...love that....and nice ending vocal too. Your challenge seems to be going extremely well.

Certainly reminds me of one of my all time Heroes, Roy Harper .....

This one kind of sneaks up on me. First listen didn't grab me a lot - nice guitars and all, but... Second listen, I was right there. Nice groove and cool song on top of it.

Oh yeah, count me in on the chorus of approval for this voice... and on the "can we have more please?" :-)

At the moment, Andrew's wife is lying on the sofa, eating a banana and prevaricating over whether she actually knows someone called Roger or not...

Er... yours, not mine that is!! lol

Well, don't know what the earlier version sounded like, but this sounds mighty fine. Really nice song, as well. I don't write enough songs about my wife! (I'm kind of assuming that's who it's about)

Oh this is just fabulous. Loved it, every second of it. I've just found someone else to follow.

Yeah, I can here all sorts of progression going on in these tracks. But even here you can tell you've got the ears. You've had a big effect on me the last few days - not sure what I'm recording next, but I can tell you the acoustic is sat on it's stand looking worried now!! lol

Nice one, very punchy.

I was listening to the first wondering how you were going to get guitar and bass into it... and there they were :-) Huge sound, works really well. Vocals get a bit lost in it for my money - but I was listening to the guitars by then!!

Woo... running out of superlatives to use here. Haven't heard a track I didn't like yet.

Very nice take on this one.

Yep one of my favourites too

I just KNEW you must have done this one at some point :-) Lovely version

Hey here's another one! Cool track. Thoroughly enjoyed listening to the new ones.

That's a MIGHTY bass sound. A fine set of new songs.

Yep :-)

I love the riff in the middle. Ah, it comes back at the end :-)

That was a surprise, for two reasons: 1) I came in expecting some rocking. 2) I really liked it! Nice one

Apparently I'm a recent listener to this - I don't remember!! I'm sure I would've remembered this. Lovely sound. Those keys are fabulous. I just shut my eyes and let it roll. I love how he was so into it that he kept playing bass and keys even after the track had finished. And a cool touch to leave it on. Nice work guys.

Back for another listen. I was wondering whether the shine would have worn off after a few days... NAH! It's still wonderful :-)
