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 .....

Yep, I'm very fond of LWIII as well. Only saw him once though. One of the funniest nights of my life. Nice version :)

Wooo! Never heard the original. But this vocal is sparkly and huge :)

Ha! Ha! Rockin.

Blissful. We got the same roots :) (Did you spend years trying to sing like him too??)

Yeah - magnificent song. Love the vox. Like the vid too :) ...Interesting watching you play, btw - you've got a different right hand, but watching your left hand I could be watching myself in a mirror! Don't often get that feeling watching another guitarist :)

Wooo... wonderful. Now I'm going have to go and find Geir's version - not sure I've ever heard it.

Don't know the original, but I like this version a fair bit :)

Lovely version. That guitar sounds FABULOUS. Faved from the first notes.

Yep, like the four so far. I'm going to have to check Cockney Rebel out themselves now!

Not that familiar with Cockney Rebel... but I'm liking this a lot.

Similarly majestic - and fabulous.

Woof!! This is majestic.

Haha! Superb... absolutely superb. Groove, song, everything.

And this one too. Love it.

Wonderful crazy stuff.

Faved from the outset. Love the vocals. Fabulous tale in the lyrics. Brilliant. Looking forward to the update.

Oh yeah... killer, soulful... and wonderful :)

I love the "Is that it? Is that your perfect plan?" Someone needs to say this to me sometimes... she probably does... and I don't notice! lol

Looking forward to the "Cornflakes" song now :)

Yeah, love how it skips along. Nice one guys.
