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…

a wee short one
A long time has passed since we last met
I hope that life’s been treating you well
And what are you up to these days
Are you with somebody else
And do you see any of the old crowd
I wonder where they all are now
The years…
Next in the little pile of songs from the shoe-box. This one has the date 27th January 1994 written on it, but it's describing an episode from many years earlier when I was, I'm guessing, something like 12 or 13 years old.

This is a love song I just wrote. It's the first normal love song I've written since "Western Hills" (i.e., three years). Writing love songs is kind of risky. If it doesn't work out- you're stuck with singing a song with all these unusual associations…

That is an incredible tune. Lyrically excellent! I love the riff. Those acoustics sound perfecto! Short but sweet, makes u want to hear more. Great Andrew :).
Jeff's tone on this and another one of our trax remind me of Adrian Belew's Rhinoscirus. kOss pHactor is a NinJam based trio of Jeff Duke, Ray Istorico and Jim Goodin, fusing electronics and improvisation in to their sound canvases.
Another demo (no vocals) from 2011.
some words:
Standing there, a victim of red tail lights
A witness to pointless fights
A guardian of fragile fright
A savior who’s with you tonight
Imagine a better place
Imagine a better life…

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
You get the oooH!!! yEAH!! Badge for this one.....and i'm only a minute in.....
One of my Favorites, James ,Try my Hoo Coo Man, on my tracks
oooh YeaH!!!
Oh , here it is. This Rocks
Nice trills, what no vocal?
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.
..nice one James - it has a lovely Gaelic flavour to it..
Great vocal.....love those strings .....
Fresh and upbeat! Very nice listening.
Very upbeat! Love the guitar.

Oh man ....nice song. Seen it up the other day and did not gvet a chance to listen.
Nice lead breaks. Like the screamin wha.
Love all the acoustics....nice playing ...its a breath of fresh air. More listens on this side of the pond.
Impressive song writing. A special one right here.

Trippy greatness.
Sweet track. Love the mix on this. Nicely done.
Reminds me of Cheap Trick. Especially when the synth comes in. Some good ground work for some vocals.
Deadly dropped tuning riffage.
Yes. A heavy Cars influence, even if unintentional still very cool.
Big sound. Very nice mix as well.
Grizzly vocal. The horns fit perfect.
Love this...nice colors and textures...a sonic painting.
Like this...really focuses on your voice. Love the stacked harmony with Sis in there. Reminds me of Guennivere by CSNY. Beauty of a song.
I like the mood of this tune.
If you do not do work for film....u should. Very nice piece here.
Damn good again.
So nice to hear this at 5:30am. Way to start the day.
Heartfelt song.
Sweet....love the blend of vocals.
