Wow this is great! My husband and I have been listening and both agree!! Excellent..lovely melody and your vocals so beautiful. You are nearing the finish and still lots of time.

oh yeah!! Another great one. Amazing how these come along. I just love the "As we near the end...." beautiful. Your voice conveys great emotion. The muse is treating you well :)

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!

Nice to hear a new one from you. Cool picking on that tuning - and a gorgeous guitar sound.

Cool version

Love it.

Like it. And the key of 3rd fret - always a goodie.

Oh yeah. Nice one. Love how this one thumps along, excellent groove.

Gorgeous intro - gorgeous... and... a wonderful song to follow. Wonderful, wonderful. PLEEZE someone fix the fave button

Aww, fabulous. Where's the fave button when it's not working? (I clicked it anyway...)

Woof - some cool playing right here.

Oh yeah. Nice one guys.

I was thinking that (intense backing track) - I had to listen twice to "block" that out and listen to you! Ace vox.

Tasty. It works like this - it's a good listen as it is - but I'd like to hear what vocals you come up with.

Well, my right foot moved a fair bit... does that count as doing the Tiggy jig? Nice one.

Woo yeah, like it.

I'd fave it, but the button doesn't seem to work for me anymore...

Love this.

This hits the spot. I prefer brandy meself (and vodka martini) but this makes me wonder. Love the choruses.

Wow! Epic stuff.

Oh yeah, this is a tasty one alright.

Haunting. Love the woodwind (and horns?) that come to the fore later.

It's three mics. A Rode NT1000 large condensor for the vocal. The guitar had two SM57s on it, one at the 12th fret, one just below the bridge, panned hard left and right. If I had more condensors I'd use them on the guitar - when I track things separately I always use the Rode on an acoustic (unless it's a resonator, that pushes a condensor too hard) - using the 57s like this seems to produce are fair amount of hiss!
