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 .....

I found myself leaning into my laptop screen to try to get closer to the performance! lol Excellent, excellent. I love your voice and delivery.

Wow, you've got something going here... At first the "lo-fi" recording made me think I'd probably switch it off. But the performance and song transcends it completely. This is superb.

I love this. A fabulous piece of music.

Wonderful, utterly wonderful. And I didn't believe it when I heard that Elvis was your basement

Spaghetti Metal - lol Whatever it is, I likes this one. Great groove pushing it onwards.

Well, this might have been a beautiful start to the day for Leo... but for me it's been a pretty good start to the early evening after a hard day at work! It's uplifting and relaxing at the same time - it was perfect to shake off the burdens I'd brought home... they seem to be gone now :)

Your stuff is completely unlike what I've been listening to recently, so it's a bit of a culture shock! But a few tracks in and it's really relaxing me. Love this one :)

Beautiful :)

Utterly brilliant. Stunning.

This one had better not be cr@p now lol... And it's not... it's tingle-down-the-spine music. A perfect finish to an utterly stunning album. Well done, very well done indeed.

I ain't got nuthin sensible left to say Faved

Sigh... :-)

And that guitar break!!

This went by while I was musing on the earlier tracks... Now I'm listening to it again. Another goodie. Stunning vox, and I'm liking the slide. The middle section is genius.

This is a stunner. Had to come back and listen twice. So well put together... unbelievably good listening.

Brilliant.

Yep, always listen to what the song says :-) Another superb one. On certain days, this would be my favourite of the album so far.

I've run out of words... I've broken me "Favourite" button... And your rhythm guitar playing... wow... you've got the same thing going that Malcolm Young has.

Good grief... I'm only three songs into this album... this is just... just... fabulous. Yep, that reverb is the one it needed. Like DB sez, yes, ELO. But there's Mott The Hoople, etc, as well... much else... all that 70s goodness... and an excellent song as well.

Digging them geetars :-)
