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.

Yes, enjoyed... like it.

This one is growing on me more each time I hear it.

Nice one. Are you saying that "stream of consciousness" means while the record light was on? If so, quite stunning.

I'm gradually getting into the weird and wonderful world of infograe

Yeah, like it. Very effective rhythm playing on the acoustic.

Yep, I'm with odh - continually amazed by the clarity of the guitar sounds you get. Nice one

There seems to be a lot of it about - ukes - did everyone get them for christmas or something? Should I be getting one? (Used to have one years ago, the young Andrew rated it at the same level as a recorder - an "instrument of the devil" lol) Expert use of the thing here, sir.

lol - keep taking the tablets! Love it.

Tasty

Yep some good stuff in here.

Nice one. Me and the missus are watching Band Of Brothers again at the moment - for me, this has the same emotional kick to it that the B.O.B. theme has.

Ooo yeah. Like this. Nice song and gorgeously clean arrangement.

On a second listen, it's not a just "nice one", it's a "very nice one"

Very nice sounds - looking forward to more.

Beware of following the link in the about while listening to the track!!! It was 3 minutes before I realised I was listening to two things at once lol. I was thinking "this one is far too complex for me". Now that I've listened to the solo piano - very cool piece :-)

Nice one.

Yep, I was kind of going for 70s (early-mid 70s Slade was in my mind - bass and vocals, the rest fits where it can). I actually feared I had the drums TOO upfront for that!! lol I tried and failed with a lot of percussion too - I felt it needed it. There's some tambourine, and some voices doing shaker noises - but none of it was good enough to come too high in the mix. What I really wanted was some clapping, but that didn't work at all!

Nice one. Been listening to quite a few of yours - I like the sounds you're making.

Cool track. Like that "swampy" guitar.

Oh YES - this is mighty mighty fine.
