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 .....

How come I feel like I'm back in the Court of Henry VIII, with a merry minstrel strumming his stuff ..... love it ....

GEEZZZZZZZ! Your lyrics always just slay! Fun to imagine all your arrangements moving about in your head. It sounds like a major league anthem in the making!

Good one. Keep going, you can do it!

That’s a great sounding demo Andrew! I share your thoughts on RPM. I did it for several years, but now I would rather take my time.

Love it - also the era it is from! I hear the Bron-Y-Aur Stomp but only because you mention it (that is one of my favourite Zeppelin songs). Fun and great musicianship truly.

Ah! I now read your post....that challenge seems more zen :). I also like that emphasis on the song writing part. You're off to a fabulous start! PS thanks for listening to my stuff - much appreciated. ONWARD WE GO! lol

Wow - glad I found you. I'll chime in with the other comments - that is an amazing demo! The raw guitar and voice gives it an intimate feeling (befitting of the song). Well done! Now I'm listening to the other song that came up....really professional!

Well it does it for me, and I find myself agreeing with all that you say ...

Very nice Andrew - and the edge provided by ‘live’ is great for the song 👍👍

I love the raw quality of your vocals and just your guitar. Really powerful indeed. Your lyrics touch that place of remembrance of a long ago friend. What might they be like had they stayed around…. Love it!!

Still one of my fav songs of so many awesome song you’ve written. Your writing is absolutely amazing!

Rats on the long message! I just figured it out… it was bleeped away when one song ended and the next popped up mid typing by me. All hail Taylor Swift!!! I hope you and yours are doing okay during these crazy times.

Glad you're sharing more of your art. I haven't been able to listen in until just recently. Best of luck.

WoW! Rock on! Great crisp guitar. You must come over some time and make one of my guitars sound like that.resting break...huge.

Added to my favorite playlist...perfect driving music.

Top notch guitar playing and production arrangement. Great stuff. 'nick of time' very British alleyway:)

Absolutely fabulous! Your lyrics always mesmerize… wonderful to hear your amazing music again. You’ve been missed indeed.

I'm still kinda stunned by this one. Welcome over here! :)

Well I enjoy the noises you make :) I like this one a lot, I'll have to explore your other stuff.

I keep dipping into your stuff (I'm very fond of Gormenghast as well, I've even got some songs knocking around somewhere that are directly inspired by it), but this is the first one I've listened to closely... You guys are growing on me - you've got something that makes me keep coming back, and it's not just Mr Peake! Faved :-)

Superb version. I found the album in my parents' records when I was 14 or 15. This song almost took me down the "Bob Dylan" route, but I managed to avoid it in the end(!) But it's always been one of my favourites. It's a difficult one to do justice to... but you've managed it apparently effortlessly :)

Oh yes, I like this!

I wasn't too sure of this when it started and I read the "about"... But after 5 minutes I found that I was still listening and that I was likely to stay til the end. Well put together. For me, it does what you set out to do. Fascinating and strangely calming, all the way through to the end.

Like it. Good song, good performance all round - still love her vocals! Excellent recording/mix.

Wow... this is a stunner... a complete stunner.

Another excellent song/performance. Your voice, guitar, and songs just hit the spot for me.

This one's a bit special.

I'm gonna have to set aside some time to listen to this entire Lobster Man album. What have I been missing? Love the lead break on this one - right in yer face.

I've heard tell of this many times, but I have to admit I've never got round to listening to it before. Superb :-)

If you'd described this to me I'd have said it'll never work... ... but it does! It's one of my least favourite Beatles songs (and I'm a big Beatles fan), this has made me reconsider it as a song in itself. Nice one.

This is one of my all time favourite songs (though I've never heard The Band's version). Great cover - love the backing vocals, really effective.

Oh good grief, this is just fabulous. I've gotta go now, but I saw you getting a lot of comments last night, now I know why I'll be back check the rest out... This such a good song/performance/recording... Loved it.

Really enjoyed this. It started up after I was listening to something else, and I looked at 7:07 and I thought "oh dear"... But I never pressed stop! It kept my interest going all the way.

Nice one. The title dragged me in for a listen. Good song :-) And that MLC is a stunning guitarist.

Woo, this has something going for it. I'm listening in headphones, so the initial fizzy synth tones were a bit scary! I love the rhythm and the interweaving melodies. Really, really inventive stuff. On the second listen I almost felt like it was too short - so I had to listen one more time!

I'm ashamed to say I don't know much about The Cure - I was a blues-rocker by the time they emerged, I liked some of the singles and videos, but that was about it... I really like what you've got going on here, though.

You guys are off the map! :-) Loved this, you had me rolling on the floor.
