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 .....

Superb song :)

Classy. Love the guitars. Fine song.

Oh very tasty.

Beautiful

Nice one. Didn't actually feel like 12 and half minutes. Epic, well worth a listen.

I *think* I like this one more(?) Feels a bit like more of a "guitarists" version? I was much more aware of "hey cool guitar" than one the other one. I think it's one where you can do unlimited versions, and they're all as good as each as other and you won't be able to decide! LOL

Oh yeah, this is a goodie. Love the sound. And that guitar playing with the old whammy - very tasty.

More tasty wah. Some groovy bass-playing too.

And that wah-break... YES

Wow! That's a big sound. Those guitars sound superb.

Wot, no comments? No Faves? Love it. I get it, and the idea works for me.

This is a fine version. I'm with Brett - it sounds like early Genesis covering it. In fact, it makes me want to listen to the first few Genesis albums! Nice one, gorgeous sound.

Aww, this is a fabulous acoustic slide blues.

Nice one. But what's happening in that bunker this year? I mean, I disappear for a few months, and when I get back Reg has cheered up!!! What is the world coming to? Very cool song.

Oh yes, rockin. I'm not too good at family gatherings. I'd be tempted to feed them the dog... "What are we having for dinner?" "I've done you a nice curry :-)"

Yep, that's the biz. Tasty from start to finish.

Oh yeah. Like it LOTS. Accent works really well - almost tempted to say it makes it!

Like it.

LOL (It did remind me that Mrs Russe and I met on the internet!)

Woo!! brave man taking this on with just acoustic and vocal. Hats off to you, sir. Nice one, like it.
