Yousra Fouani Beautiful.

"Sweet." Deborah Andruscavage

"Insightful and beautiful." Rosemarie Kempton

Short but very sweet. I love these short ones with the almost throw-away lyrics that are SO full of meaning to the listener.

Perfect!!!!!! This captures our collective experience completely!!!

Great imagery! Who would have thought a year ago that we would have a summer like this?

Mrs R has pointed out that she knows of at least two other Londons... and that it might not be obvious I mean London UK!

Like it. Love this: "stage is dusty / my strings are getting rusty". We had to look up corn hole, though, doesn't get played a lot in South London...

i think it's time for a knap

I agree with Guest (47.189.109.204) - "you're not done with this one" - I think there's another version, somewhere between the original and this one. It's a gorgeous song.

And a new verse! I listened to all three versions again - this is the one (which is probably a good thing, as it's the latest!!)

Guest (47.189.109.204) said Thursday I love that you don't hold back and anything goes. I never know what's going to jump out of that brain of yours! Love the arrangement, the harmonies and nature! Fun and short. I think I could have gone a little longer, but I'll just play it, awgain or put it on a loop if it will let me!! Write on!!! Thanks for the share!! Connie

You're not done with this one. I love the chorus. Did you just write this one?

Happy sad....good song...might go around singing this one. Thanks!!

🙂

You know that sound we all do when we've had a big day and worked/played really hard? Ahhhhhhhmmmm...that one...That's how I felt listening to this song. Thanks, James for continuing down the rabbit hole. So many places to go...so many.....plac....es....to...ahhhhhhmmm..... ;)

Beautiful.

Andrew Russe (86.155.32.98) said Thursday Short but very sweet... These short ones encourage me to add all sorts of extra meaning myself as I'm listening. That's kinda what happens when we listen to songs anyway - no matter how much the lyrics are designed to lead us to certain conclusions or "points of view"... a song never really says what the songwriter thinks it says ... but these short ones encourage this "listener completes the song" process even more, they let my mind run free ... love it.

Beautiful song very effectively sung.

Love your delivery.

Has a Townes Van Zandt sadness about it.

You need to get in touch with Jody Jones to get a slot at the songwriter showcase at the Magnolia in Fort Worth on Monday nights.

The new John Renborn.

Lost my mom a couple of years ago. I understand your playing with so much feeling. I try to hold on to my mom by singing in her clear sweet voice.

Great picking.

That's relaxing...

So well said.

That's even cooler if you can program drums all by yourself. I just tap them out on my midi keyboard sometimes, or whack a snare drum, add some reverb and pull it back in the mix. About THE WINNOWING, I don't know if it's obvious but I sang all the parts.

...and now you are going nashville on us. What range you have!

Could be the theme music for one of those007 movies. Very English.

Welcome to Alonetone. And thanx for listening to my songs. I like this. So sparse. So nimble when you go to the second guitar. Are those live drums?

This is very popie/r&B. Sounds like a fun one to sing. I might have posted LAYLA back when i first recorded it. Can't remember

Yeah, imaginary lovers are easier to keep around.

I will miss his very specific and kind comments.

Wish you would tell more about who you are and about this song. So beautiful.

Sooooo pretty.

ATTITUDE! Yes!
