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 .....

Big rocking sound :)

Thought it was going to be the Glen Campbell song at first (I'm a big Glen Campbell fan hiding under the stuff I do)... Soon got over the disappointment! lol Nice one.

Nice one :)

And this too! Fabulous. Love the arrangement, the song, the voice. It works so well...

Love this song.

The tuba had me in stitches when it kicked in - but it's so RIGHT! Cool track.

Aww this is gorgeous...

Yeah, I could do with some "warm" as well at the moment!! Nice one :)

Magnificent

Like it.

Yep :)

Great title! I could hear acoustic on the previous one, and I was thinking "hey! more of that maybe?". You read my mind (or I read yours, or.. wotever). Love this one.

Crumbs, you've been a busy boy... Digging the harmonica

I was listening to the original the other day... Love this version. VERY cool vocal.

Aww crumbs... Those guitars sound utterly fabulous. Tasty organ going with it too. Love it.

Have you remixed since the "vocals are low" comments? Because I'm getting plenty :)

I'm playing catch up here... How did I miss this??!! This is mighty fine. Faved from the opening guitars - and the rest of the track lived right up to it. Gorgeous sounds.

Fine album. Flows nicely. Really enjoyed it :)

Nice one :)

I was wondering where this was! Isn't it a different mix? Feels slightly different now - mebbe I'm more awake! Fab!
