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 .....

Wow!

I've explained to Mrs R what Skynet is... Mrs R has explained to me what Speak And Spell is. We now count ourselves as enlightened... and sincerely hope it's not actually based on a true story!

Oh yeah. Lovely song. "The right person will arrive on time..." yep :)

Cool song. But, if you've been sat on it for a few months, she's probably forgotten you! OR.... yes! ...maybe she's sat on a similar song herself?

I'm playing a slow catch up game here... oh wow... my goodness... this one is gorgeous.

Yeah, it works well, even without Eddie Vedder... I get exactly the same sort of problem- in the dream about my latest one, it was Taylor Swift singing - it took me quite a bit to get over the initial disappointment when I found that my own voice didn't have quite the same effect as the version I'd dreamt.

Yep, made me happy too. I LOVE the lyrics. I hit fave just for the coaster/toaster thing, made me smile... then the two lines that followed... superb

Oh yeah, the guitarmonies here are definitely awesome - they sound really good. I'm with you, sucker for any guitar harmonies, but these have got a bit of that celtic vibe that kinda lifts them above others.

Cool track - love the solo at the end. You've got a Standard 50s?? Which colour? I've been oggling them. The guitarist from my old band got a 60s a few months back in "Unburst" which is my favourite but they don't do it on the 50s (and I want the fatter neck). Anyway, escapes me now, but for some reason I got a Flying V instead! (which I LOVE, actually)

I misread that as "tropical" ... I do need to get my eyes tested ... so I found it wasn't quite as cheery as I'd first imagined! Cool tune, and sentiments I share sometimes.

Yeah, that works for me. Cool track. And yeah, a great title.

Don't know the original, but I'm digging this. Mighty cool vocal.

Digging the space on this one.

Aw yeah - this is killer. Loving the Robin Trower / James Dewar vibe in the guitars and bass.

Btw - I knew coming back from such a long break that there'd be "one or two" RJ songs to catch up with ... but, er.... !!! LOL (I might not be commenting on them all)

Oh yeah, dig those solos - big time - definitely live with them! And I'm liking that Univibe tone on the rhythm tracks.

Oh and this one too. Yep, I've hit the follow button :grinning:

Oh yeah, love this one

Wow - lyrically, this touches me. Lyrics alone don't often do that for me, not personally anyway, but this one spoke to me (not a relationship thing in my case, more a harrowing work issue of the last weeks/months - thankfully almost resolved now)

This one too. Assuming you're the piano player on these - you can "muddle along" on it far better than I can!!
