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…

Lets dig up an old one. In another time & space had to come up with a song with the line 'Solar Radiation and a New Pair of Boots' in it. I came up with this little ditty... Blame Steve Krell !!!!!!
Well last night just as i was of to bed , there was a knock on the door of the cellar and it was John & George they had come for a sess and i mean who was i to deny them…..they'd heard of the Beatle fest from Elvis…he could never keep quiet…
Tis a true story about a friend, I was fascinated by the concept of friends sharing one black "funeral" dress passing it along like it was a hip handbag
She went to work like any other day
It didn't hit her till that package came

Dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters, human beings...it's all the same.

Here's our new collab just in time for the American Elections.......i'm thinking of emigrating cause i want the power...is there still time .....Vote Reg
As a surprise for the missus (she gets out of hospital tomorrow after a 9 week stay) I've revamped a little ditty I wrote for her. I thought I'd put an Elvis slant on it including the ridiculous club style ending. I also slipped a bit of a British…
I need an electric geeetar. My weary old Crafter electroacoustic picks up every touch. 'Scuse the solo, I'm only a strummer..
Anyway, the song. Clogging up my brain, had to get it out. Some lasses don't know what they look like, and some lads…
A song for a wet day in Sheffield Thanks Johnny.......another one for the Zep album.........I will have to sort out that first verse..........but i hope you enjoy..........
Bob got in the act on this one and we had Elvis on Keys..Hope you enjoy......

Another lyrically-challenged collaboration with jip1965, who sent me a guitar, bongo, percussion track with a recorder playing named, simply, 'Love'.
I added the piccolo, crystals and windchimes from my virtual keyboard, renamed it 'What is…
The core of the music is heavily inspired by Joni Mitchell. Its been spinning around for years in my head so hearing this song finally recorded feels good.

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

Oh , here it is. This Rocks
Nice trills, what no vocal?

Great vocal.....love those strings .....
Fresh and upbeat! Very nice listening.

Can picture you catching walleye and crappie, havin a shore lunch and singin some tunes, hey!
Alrighty. This is a good one.
Turned it into a swirling dervish! Actually pretty damn cool!
Happy I listened now :)
Its been awhile since I listened to your tunes. Great song here again! Refreshingly different than anything I have heard recently.
Nice tune. I like the story with a bit of humor.
Has a very cool Alice Cooper Vibe. Good song!
Really good! Very Righteous Bros time period. Love the vocals! Damn.
That is awesome! Ha! Love the operatic refrain:)
Its has a Clapton vibe and that intro is really hip. Nice tune.
Always have a twist on these covers that are fun.
That melody has to be one of the best ever written. Nice rendition)
Theatrical rendition...had me smiling all the way thru!
Oh yeah going to the big Ragu festival on this one! Jah Man!
Beautiful music. No need for lyrics here. Very mystical ambience going on.
Never heard the original but this will do just fine. Nice intimate recording.
I totally enjoyed that! Really nice and smooth harmonies.
Damn....nice collab guys! Cool production.
Okay. This is the remixed version kids! Thnx for listening:)
I revised the mix a tad bit. I will repost shortly. Thnx for the props!
