I've been sat on these lyrics in some form or another for absolutely years. I first wrote them one very dark night a few years after…

Your best song so far - IMO. And all the others were great too. But this one has that wonderful blues-gospel feel that grips you from the very first note.
I'll listen to this song a lot more times, no doubt about that.

Did this one sometime in 2009 on a Boss MBR. I'd recently joined what became Songcrafters.org and PJ (Wiley) posted a bass/drum track for us ubiquitous blues guitarists to solo over.

Thanks Andrew. Glad you enjoyed the album. I was pretty happy with it for my first RPM and my first real dabble into that style of playing. I will be swinging back by to check out your tracks!

This is a good song played well, and I really dig your gritty vocals! I'll have to post some of my blues stuff. It's not much different than what you're doing
A few months back we had a "Beatlesfest" on songcrafters.org.
I contributed this and Yesterday.
This one's a bit of a departure for me. Not the song itself - it's been one of my favourites ever since I was tiny (I preferred Robin Gibb's…

This was the first in this set of 3 songs I am posting. I was gaining alot of inspiration from the likes, of Justin Currie and Jackson Browne at the time.
Recorded using Reaper DAW & Jamstix virtual drummer software.
Oh yeah, this is fab. Love the clean and uncluttered arrangement (which I CANNOT do! I keep trying to, but I can't... curses), and then those vocals - she's right, the word is "sublime".
Yep, I could hear Neil Young and Queen, but also early David Bowie and Mott the Hoople - all of which (with the exception of Neil Young) form the very foundations of my record collection.
I'm a complete sucker for this song.
It's not just gorgeous. It's utterly, utterly, wonderful.
It says everything about "love" that folks like me (all my life I've been one of those dangerous "in love with being in love" people) need and want to hear.
It makes grown men cry (quite literally here at the moment).
I can't think what else to say - I SO wish I'd written this.
Thankyou.
I don't know whether this is the same basic recording as posted with SKEEN - but I loved hearing you sing this again. It's a fab song, but the main reason is that my wife is away at the moment and last week she was in bits over the SKEEN version - so it was very good listening to this again.
Track 8 from These things happen by Tiggy Acworth 2010.
Fundamentally gay – Tiggy Acworth 2008
Just because I do not have a girlfriend
Don’t mean that I haven’t had a try…
I’ve had a few but they’ve all turned out to be wrong ones…
This one had me in stitches. I've been listening to all your stuff while emailing, but I had to stop and fall around laughing on this one.
"all I know is Jonathan Ross is fundamentally gay - in a happy way"
Brilliant.
They say we're dangerous, that we never really cared.
That we're selfish, we're blind, and pessimistic.
But I'm not wired for disaster, I'm not broken at the seams.
Alas, I've been watching them, rip away from me.
Digest my insides, they are…
Miss the last train home, yeah we'll talk it out.
Sit down by the phone, maybe shout it out.
It's ashame, that the flesh on our bones,
Is the last thing we have left to call home.
Shoo the flame from the wick, yeah wax it out.
Crack the crown…
Been listening to several of yours while I was getting the cooking started - I shall be back for more.
Love this one, lyrics, performance, everything. And that HUGE reverb!
Faved and followed
Oh, you guys have just got "it".
Loved your tracks so far. Really looking forward to hearing what you guys write together.
No rush/pressure though - as long as you keep posting covers like these! lol
Oh yet another nostalgic blast from the past. I found this unbelievable backing track surfing the web some years ago. I usually never use backing tracks because they usually suck bad . But this one is like having mitch and noel at your side. I…

Whispered roars that fade away

Only (C) heard…
Oh it's just fab.
You've actually got me singing along on this one. Doesn't happen too often - I'm usually sat hear listening and thinking, but this one had me singing out loud.

OH WOW!!
I saw this arrive the other day but didn't have time to listen. Then I saw the reaction it was getting, so I thought, ooo he must have hit the spot with this one...
I've been saving it up for the right moment lol (7.45 am on sunny saturday at the start of two weeks off - that'll do!)
And WOW! You've definitely hit the spot. Love it.
This is wonderful! And I wasn't going to listen to it! lol
But I was finishing my comment to Love Interruption and the rhythm started up. Interesting, I thought, so I kept it on...
I love how you guys play with it.
I definitely want to hear more from you :-)
Yep, nice one. The two of you are playing off each other nicely here.
The vocals have this really relaxed authority to them.
Want to hear more!

Great, great song. The slide is perfect. Love the soulful vocal delivery.
My beer is all blurry ....
Your best song so far - IMO. And all the others were great too. But this one has that wonderful blues-gospel feel that grips you from the very first note. I'll listen to this song a lot more times, no doubt about that.
Love the dual guitar attack here!!!!
Wow, guys, that's a TREMENDOUS improvement on an already pretty impressive track. I love it. Great job!
Thanks Andrew. Glad you enjoyed the album. I was pretty happy with it for my first RPM and my first real dabble into that style of playing. I will be swinging back by to check out your tracks!

Well, I've already clicked fave after 25 seconds - they rest had better be good!
Love your voice.
And this one too. Utterly gorgeous sound. And the words... woo.
