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 .....

Know the feeling!

Another thumbs up from me... (Mrs R likes your stuff too)

Yep, glorious... Love it That bass and kick is fabulous.

Loving everything you do so far. Very impressed with the drums (I'm in the same boat as you - drums are always a bit of a trial for me!)

Oh yes, like it.

Tasty, very tasty.

Nice track. Very tasty guitar solo. I like that little bass lick too. Looking forward to hearing more.

Wonderful laid back feel to this. Superb vocal locks into it perfectly. Top stuff.

Wow.

Well that's kinda scrummy... Couldn't possibly favourite it, though... Oh, go then :-)

:) Jim M does Van M

Ooooo tasty... Like it.

Love it.

Love it.

Gorgeous vocal.

Oh very tasty. Very tasty indeed... It had me thinking Ronnie Lane? Excellent stuff.

Love it.

Excellent stuff guys. @greg - You're not alone, it seems that us chaps hear a nice blues song about a train... and our spouses hear something else entirely.

Sell-out!! Nice one, sounds really good.

I find myself wishing I'd been listening more closely when you were with us; as closely as you were listening to us. I feel like you're still listening now. Many thanks x
