ya floored me here, man

I won't repeat what I said at Songcrafters. You know I love this song. And all the others ... :)

Yes this is simply cool/would sound nice live.

One of my favorites of yours, Andy. But then again ... I think I like all of your great songs the same. You have such a terrific voice, and your songwriting is as profound as your lengthy explanations (which I love, btw! :) ). Keep them coming!

Great song-writing - awesome delivery!

Think this melody would translate magically to a music box. Beautiful and bittersweet song. My, your vox are astounding.

You rule

Great song, love the sudden change of tempo in the middle. Really enjoying your voice! Perfect diction!

Nice ballad Andy. Pretty good piano playing if you ask me. Lots more goodies here for me to listen to - and listen I shall, as soon as time permits.

Hi, Andy! I just joined the site. Good to find all your great music here. :) Regards, Steffen

Interesting work.good live sounds.The voice is sometimes strong and powerful ,but yet becomes soft and delicate in other moments.Well,thank you for your comment about our songs.Bye!

Impressive work!

Very nice song, love the vocals, strat tones, great lyrics. I like the atmosphere too, very well done.

Interesting song.

great tune, tone, playing, vocal, writing...kickin'

wow...just wow...great stuff here...

Simply stunning........

Great voice and playing. I'd offer to swap some of my guitar expression for some of your vocal expression, but your guitaring is cool as well :)

"You've buggered my day's recording!! I was meant to be working on a folkie thing... now I'm gonna be putting on the strat and reaching for the pedals!" Ha ha! Sorry about that...nothing wrong with putting on the strat tho' Cool track by the way :)

This has a hell of a swagger to it! Fine sounding guitar tones!

No problem :-) I hope a lot of people hear it. For me, it's one of those songs/performances that gives the listener a lot of reward for just listening. My missus thinks so too (and she's the one who ALL of my stuff goes through before it gets out - I don't post anything without her reassurance first!). Not all songs do this. And the writer never really knows that they've done it, or whether they're imposing on people with it if they have... The minute I heard it I knew this was one (might not be for everyone, I guess, but it is for me and Mrs R), and I suspected you might need to know it was cool and needs to be "out there"...

T So glad you put this one up on here. Tis still as beautiful as when I first heard it this morning. The song itself, simple and from the heart. And the performance matches it. Wonderful creation.

Wow, I'd forgotten all about this one. She's upstairs having a lie-in. Gonna make her a coffee in a minute... Thanks guys :-)

Oh this is brilliant. BRILLIANT.

Oh yes, I do like this. Love the kind of 60s vibe to it. I'm going to have to listen to more of your stuff.

"I like that notion of optimism right around the corner . . . but not quite here yet." Yep, I like that as well now, VERY much... but I didn't really believe it when I wrote it! lol - it was more of a yearning for it to be true.

Oh yeah, faved immediately. I bought some blues harmonicas once - this'll be easy I thought... NOPE! lol (I ended up giving them to a harp player I knew) I might try again one day, and it's performances like this that make me want to do it. Fine song, fine everything :-)

Oh yeah. I wasn't too sure as it started... but by the end I had a big smile on my face. Gorgeous sound and groove.

Nice... I love the way the vocals work in headphones. And some juicy Ronson-esque guitaring.

I love this still.

I thought I'd pressed send on this one!! It was along the lines of "yes, like this version, nice job" :-)

And of course this version :-) I don't think I've listened to this one this close before - or mebbe I've better headphones on, I dunno - it's fab, worth two faves.

WOW!! This must've been for the Beatlesfest over at Songcrafters? How did I miss it???! I nearly skipped this one in a mood of "oh this old chestnut..." (I do love the original, but you kind of dread a cover of it). But I reasoned, "you never know with orh..." So I thought I'd listen to the first "I read the news today" and then decide... FLIP!! lol

Ah... I have heard this elsewhere... it doesn't get any worse, though - it fact it gets better - superb job chaps

Woo... it looks like I've missed loads of classics of yours Jim... It also looks like I need a "Aww F*** it... just Fave em all" button, you're wearing me out having to keep moving me mouse around lol

Wonderful stuff. The voice and guitars sound like they came into the world together - excellent collaboration

Missed this one. Tis mighty fine, mighty fine. Paints big pictures. My only complaint is that it went away too abruptly for my liking - that 4 minutes went by very quickly

Glad I found the legendary uke tracks :-) Listening to them all now, this one is my favourite so far.

Nice one :) You've got a cool "70s" rock/pop combo going there.

I see what you mean about the motivating lyrics and how it ended up. But it really works like this. And like others have said, the harmony vocals are fabulous.
