New original from me, hot off the old wotsit.
When it was half written yesterday, I was considering binning it as a throwaway exercise - I do that quite often. But I played the songwriting demo to someone else and, er, apparently I should finish…

Crumbs, even this is 23 years old!
We used it as a set-opener in the last band I was in.
I've been trying to make…
New one from me. It's ended up as a bit of a "crying into yer beer at Bob's Country Bunker" sort of song lol...
I've been sat on these lyrics in some form or another for absolutely years. I first wrote them one very dark night a few years after…
So I was locked in the broom-cupboard, checking out some old songs that need recording.
I'd just picked one and then suddenly this thing came out of nowehere. It started with one of those guitarist doodles that other musicians love so much…
Having just seen the Average White Band on their 5oth year farewell tour, just had to re-create one of my favourite Tunes of theirs, albeit a cover of a soul classic!! With thanks to AWB's own vocals....!!

The Woman You Love
She never needs to compromise
Strips paint with a simple cut of her eyes
As warm as a summer sun; as cold as a winter moon
Likes to relax with a book on a rainy afternoon

Took me a "long long time" to discover this song, but I'm so glad I was finally able to thanks to the amazing third episode of "The Last of Us." Thank you for the kind words, Colleen!
I like the moving dissonance. the chords vs the running of notes together is very powerful. are you able to improvise like that then "switch" hands the one doing the chords is now doing the runs and the one doing the runs switches to chords?? or is it that only the one hand can do runs and the other chords?
