Love it. I'd love to hear how you were originally trying it as well. It sounds like a song that could benefit from all sorts of approaches (well, what song couldn't). But I like this string arrangement.

Wow, apparently I've listened to this before, but I don't remember... (many thanks to galinka's recent favourites for finding it again :) )
Good song and vocals and all... but on this listen, it's striking me that those guitars are amazing.
This is an ode for a good friend of mine that had took his own life at the end of last year. I was in the midst of writing some other songs and it stopped me in my tracks. I just wrote basically how I felt about this tragic ending to a very special…

Uploaded just in time for the 2013 peak of the Perseid meteor showers of 2013, which I definitely won't see, as our autumnal "maritime" (i.e. sh**ty) climate is doing its thing.
This is my arrangement of a wonderful romantic tune by the inimitable…
Had a bad back just of late (working to hard) so i put it in a song,and my favorite painkiller is ? you guessed it WHISKY.
PS The backs feeling much better now!

A song about a walk i took on a recent holiday....
At One (Lyrics)
I feel the thermal stir the air
I watch Life evolve before me everywhere
I see life's palette live and fluoresce
I feel, I feel at one
I feel at one with the sun
There's that…
At last... I've managed to finish something.
This was written months ago. I was about to try recording it with one or two others when this year's decorating started. With various buggered fingers, back muscles, etc, etc, I wasn't actually able…

Writing this song was a very cathartic experience. This gamut of emotions took place in just one week - last week.
Unfortunately, I couldn't sing the first word without it sounding ridiculous, and so I decided to get back to my Northern roots…

Track 3 from The Bunker 2013
Summer Breeze
The summer breeze
Brings it all back to me
starlight skies
Pull me to my knees to cry
But the Blue sky and the sun gives me hope
love will come to me again
The greys skies
Take my hope…
Here's the Who classic Regged a little.....I was practising this at full volume then realised the window was open so a bit of an impromptu concert going on in the street which would have sounded ok for the main but i'm not so sure the backing…
Here's a Alice Cooper classic for the suggest fest over on the on the other side at Songcrafters as suggested by Henwrench its an acoustic version very slightly Regged........ Hope you enjoy..........
MrMudd&MrGold is a duo project with my friend from Brooklyn, Jim Goodin. Inspired by our common interest for acoustic improv and love for the music of Townes VanZandt and Steve Earle.
This is an improv composition by Jim, who plays 12 string…

Some day I'll get around to noting all of the…

Very nice....
Keep shakin' them walls! x
Well, it sounds very "now". I love folky strings. Really lovely vocal too.
Oh, gorgeous. Agree with David about the Celtic flavour - and I love the 'coming home' feel - super sweet vocal also.
Yeah. Like the new mix/master :)
Yes . . . This is a keeper! The bridge is a nice effect for resetting the song.
Top class all round. An excellent listen

Yep sirree... Love it. I'd love to hear how you were originally trying it as well. It sounds like a song that could benefit from all sorts of approaches (well, what song couldn't). But I like this string arrangement.

That is just sweet. What a feel good and warm sound. Great song.
This is really good.....has a Cat Stevens vibe. Nice one ;)
Bad ass riff...sounds like sonething Townsend and the Who would throw down.
Great songwriting. Love the reverb on that flute solo.
I can hear The Doors doing this....very cool instrumentation.
Dynamic. Top stuff once again.
Johnny Stucco and the Trowelers with their number one hit "Stuck on the scaffold with you".
Nice mix......very cool song. Alot of clarity.

Magic bus! Hell yeah!
Ahhhh....complex without sounding complex...thats a great track!
Alice...sounds like your own. Nice cover.
That is vicious tone.
Steel strings......reminds me of CSNY's Guennivere.....
