This is a bonus track as it didn't make the album
For those of you who know my stuff - does this sound like it works? or is it too much like filler - the vocals are effected, there's a drum loop - the guitar is just chopped out of a jam - i…
one of those 'it was written even before i started' songs that just rolls out like magic
i tried to keep it simple so as not to destroy the vibe
first finished (if unmixed) track for RPM 2010
I just left this on repeat for the last hour
There's a wonderful melancholy to it that sits nicely with the optimistic trotting horse of the music
I love this!
Dang, everyone except Rob (and Laura) (and me) liked the previous version! (Cupid's Own Knife)
Only i did this with the lyrics so maybe one can be a bonus track ...
aargghh ... why didn't i write a *different* song?
i just went and re-read what you wrote at RPM, Rob/Laura and I must apologise - you actually said you like it - i didn't though, so i re-recorded, but then it felt like me against the world lol
ANd now guess what - i listened to the first one again and it sounds OK to me too. Aaaarrggghhh again. :-)
Weird how my mind plays tricks on me

This is a good place for me to be....it does me good to remember this.
God around me
God within me
there's nothing i need to fear
always remember you're here
Love is a slippery beast.
Just when you think you've got a firm hold of it, it squirts out of your hands like a piece of wet soap and ends up somewhere in India on a spiritual quest for an obscure guru.
better than i expected from your write up lol
this is pretty smooth and i think i might have to fave it
i'll hold off for a few minutes though to make sure i'm not just ab-reacting
This is the finished version of Iris Florentine. The acoustic version is still up, though...

Gumbo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deep sounding song.
Wow! Very FNG! Great Vocals man.

Very very cool.
Nice one man!
love it!
It works in exactly the same way that--after memorizing a Clapton version of a JJ Cale song--you finally hear JJ do it. Does that make sense?
Sweet.
Hard to write a classic. You were blessed.

Very Nice Mr Choirvey! Love the shifts within it.
My partner just asked if this was Antony and the Johnsons, which I take as a fine compliment so I'm passing it on. Beautiful track.
Groovy track. Builds nicely And five stars for the written introduction! That's so true!
Heavenly Heartbreak, Batman! What a melter! Poo-Pa-Doo, baby.
