So filled with emotion and longing... amazing!

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.

Lovely stuff guys... great guitaring!

And I like this one even more. "and I'm saying what I'm thinking when i don't know what to say and we are the wonder of the world" Love it.

Yeah, I like this a lot. Very satisfying feel and groove

Simple and beautiful

Nice one - you guys put together a good sound. I've been listening to the later ideas you've been posting as well. Love it all - keep it at :-)

Tasty guitar, very tasty

That's really good to listen to.

Stunning. You do some wonderful things with guitars.

I didn't realise it, but this is just what I wanted to listen to... I put it on and just laid back.

Wow, this is incredible. Hope she liked it!

I thought the only Ralph McTell I knew was Streets of London - turns out I know this one too! Can't remember the original, but this is a fabulous recording.

Yes. Brilliant title, and the song/performance backs it up. Wonderful naked vocal.

I like this one even more!

Classy. When I was a teenager I wished my parents had had some brothers for me (I'm a big Bee Gees fan) - there's something about siblings making music together. Love it.

Nice one. There's a few places in the vocal where I'm thinking "how did he do that? I've been trying to nick that vibe from Ian Anderson for weeks now... and I couldn't manage it!"

@ facemask - there's time yet! I hope... lol There's a LOT of competition though... and to be honest, I only really started saying what I wanted when I gave up the idea of becoming famous!!

I'm just gonna follow 2Regs around and listen to what he's listening to... lol This is, as he says, a masterpiece...

Brilliant! Utterly brilliant... Untapped potential... lol... priceless

Yip! Fantastic organ - so that's the sort of sounds mine could make is it?!

Oh yeah... gotta go listen to more of yours. This is wonderful - title, lyrics, delivery, everything
