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.

Super RPM, well done. I shall have a listen to last year's later. Many thanks for posting these.

Oh superb! LOL

LOL

If this song doesn't grab me as much as it's predecessors (lyrically it does), it's given me a moment to catch my breath and say how much I like the instrumentation on these tracks. Love the little slide break here.

Loving the message in here.

Superb.

LOLOLOLOL ... Yep. I hear you!

Oh crumbs, and another. I'm really digging these.

Another perfectly formed song presented in a way that grabs/moves me - love it.

I think this the first time I've ever heard any of your stuff. Woah, loving it.

I absolutely LOVE this.

Excellent RPM guys :)

Yeah, gotta agree with Keith Landry - this is a bit of stunner. If I was still a smoker I'd be tempted to hold my lighter aloft!

This one makes me think of The Who - haven't listened to them in ages. I can't even put a finger on why it made me think that. Anyway love this one

I love how the different songwriters produce a different sort of song but they all fit on an Orphans album.

Do you put much thought into sequencing tracks? If not, this is INSPIRED sequencing so far! Love this coming after Brighter Side. DIgging the organ on this one, I'm a sucker for the Hammond sound.

Nice one

Well that was faved after 30 seconds! Superb opener.

Yep. awesome album. You never disappoint, but I think this one feels like a new high for me. Nice one, well done.

This one dragged me back from the work window. Yes, love it.
