And of course this version :-)
I don't think I've listened to this one this close before - or mebbe I've better headphones on, I dunno - it's fab, worth two faves.
WOW!!
This must've been for the Beatlesfest over at Songcrafters? How did I miss it???!
I nearly skipped this one in a mood of "oh this old chestnut..." (I do love the original, but you kind of dread a cover of it).
But I reasoned, "you never know with orh..."
So I thought I'd listen to the first "I read the news today" and then decide...
FLIP!! lol

The next best thing at least to actually being there.

They've switched off all the lights
they're out to lunch
they've all gone to the party
they're having tea and scones

Missed this one. Tis mighty fine, mighty fine.
Paints big pictures. My only complaint is that it went away too abruptly for my liking - that 4 minutes went by very quickly

This is a remix of this song.
It was recorded in 2010, and I was in a hurry to post it elsewhere because I'm so fond of the song itself. But I've always hated the old mix - I lost the essence of the guitars and choirs during mastering because…
Comments on oldrottenhead's stuff
Yah buggers!! (Quietly takes a sheet of paper out of the pile of "possible covers to attempt") Brilliant, guys. Mighty fine version
Gorgeous :)
in your own words....brilliant. fmgwabp to the nth degree
Very nice cover. Probably the best I ever heard like this!
Diggin' your vocal performance on this man. Classy tune.
a beautiful song Jim has that feeling of wonder going on...excellent
Yep, good to see this one on here. Fine, fine song.
I love this still.
I thought I'd pressed send on this one!! It was along the lines of "yes, like this version, nice job" :-)
And of course this version :-) I don't think I've listened to this one this close before - or mebbe I've better headphones on, I dunno - it's fab, worth two faves.

Ah... I have heard this elsewhere... it doesn't get any worse, though - it fact it gets better - superb job chaps
Woo... it looks like I've missed loads of classics of yours Jim... It also looks like I need a "Aww F*** it... just Fave em all" button, you're wearing me out having to keep moving me mouse around lol
think this was my ery first uke song andy
Wonderful stuff. The voice and guitars sound like they came into the world together - excellent collaboration
Missed this one. Tis mighty fine, mighty fine. Paints big pictures. My only complaint is that it went away too abruptly for my liking - that 4 minutes went by very quickly
Glad I found the legendary uke tracks :-) Listening to them all now, this one is my favourite so far.
The vocals intrigue me - they remind me a bit of Fish from Marillion.
Thoughtful song, nice work. I'm always a fan of your amazing song writing abilities, and this is no exception.
Nice writing, well sung.
