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 .....

Nice one. Sounds very real and spontaneous... Looks like I missed this first time round. I was thinking about Gene the other day, talking about him to my wife.

Very cool groove.

Yeah, like this a lot.

Nice one, like it.

Cool sounds. Very nice first track to listen to at 6.30am at the start of this work-at-home Monday morning.

LOL - we watched that the other week :) .... cool track... I'm getting flavours of summery, under a palm tree, and... a girl dressed like an Australian's nightmare...

Not sure how I got here... but yeah, this is WAY cool. And yes, I can hear those piano runs... I THINK I'd have recognised them if you hadn't said... but it saves me wondering later (when we're trying to decide what to watch) why I'm suggesting Thomas Crown Affair!

That does feel good. Can I hear an e-bow in use there?

And of course, you posting this earlier started me off down this rabbit hole!. I went searching and discovered that they were called Skid Row. And I found a demo recording of Unknown #1. This cover is pretty darn cool. Like it... and now you've got me listening to Nirvana too

This one too - nice one.

I don't know too much about Nirvana, kinda "after my time", let alone the rare Kurt songs. But the idea of creating band songs from what he did on his demos is very cool.

I thought I'd commented?! .... anyways, WOW that's a monster. I'll give it another listen over the next few days.

Wowsers. This is very cool indeed. Interesting how others react to sounds... in the peacefulness and mindfulness section - v pretty btw - I kept "jumping" and "looking around" because of the various sound effects that come with it. Come 5:15 or so, I was able to relax - but only second time round because I knew they'd REALLY finished! LOL - I wonder what that says about me?!

Oh yes... This is wonderful. The guitar sound is soothing and expectant. The sentiments in the lyric - yesss (or "Nice" lol)

Also... "Grrrreat" :)

Nice. (one needs to be a fan of the Fast Show - an old TV program in the UK - to fully appreciate the delivery of that word).

Oh yeah. This is my favourite one so far. OR... it's the one that fitted my mood best at the time I decide to listen to it? :)

GORGEOUS guitar sound. And cool song. VERY cool song.I found the problem round the other way... too much interest in living (well, sleeping) resulted in an unbalanced something or other.

I only really know the Thin Lizzy version... and this one!

Nice one.
