A little bit of pop with a strong 80s touch (I hope).

Wow, Errol, what a wonderful song. Production is great too - except the drums (I'm not crazy about the sound).
Is that you singing? I would not have recognized your voice. Great job, really.
I had to give this a listen because it is one of my favorite Cohen songs - although I like the Rufus Wainwright version even better than Cohen's.
Yours is a very interesting interpretation. Something you have to listen to with dedication. It did not grab me immediately - but after a couple of bars you had me. And now I'll hit that heart button thing up there. :)
This song was born on the 18th of Feb. 2011. It was the last piece I wrote/recorded for the challenge. It was a very sad day for me, almost as if all my usual winter sadness was concentrated and crammed into one day. The process of writing and…
This is a collaboration with a prolific chap called James Higgins (oldrottenhead on songcrafters.org), based on an instrumental of mine from a couple of years ago: http://alonetone.com/andyr/tracks/muletide
I was quietly minding my own business…
This is one of my all time favorites, and I was sure nowbody could sing this better that Rufus Wainwright. But I was wrong. Your version is just as good as his one.
I like Cohens own version very much too, btw. :)
A song about the five stages of grieving, as devised by the (late) Elizabeth Kubler-Ross. Unfortunately knowing these stages does not help you get over them.
You've been managing expectations
Consultations end in tears
Even if you're optimistic…
Standing, waiting, shivering, waiting, hoping, waiting, crying - all the while being cruelly mocked by the passage of time, and my analogue watch. It was not a very nice night.

If you could…
At the 23rd hour we consider whether we've made the right decisions.
Written and recorded less the 48 hours before the end of the RPM challenge deadline. I wonder why.
Is this our 23rd hour
Sixty minutes to go

Such a lovely song, beautifully and clearly sung by Emmi. Your piano playing sounds great to me Steffen!

Lovely! This was great for first thing in the morning

Love this, I'm all 80's now. I'm going to talk about Neu now...
clever, good music and fun lyrics great pair up
James, thanks to you too! :)
Thanks, Bethan and Terry! I think I'll have to give the strings section a little more attention mixing-wise. Expect an update in a couple of days! :)
Very "movie-ish." Yes. Glad you got it back.
Gorgeous sound quality Steffen, rich and vibrant. Lovely composition and perfect balance. Ooo, I like this!

Interesting sort of inspiration. ;) Not bad, Geir. A more psychedelic mix might suit the song even better. But it sounds good as is.
Privet! :) Great music and vocals. Please post more. And more. And more ... :D
Very nice! I guess I'll listen to this song a couple more times tonight. :)

If this is what arises from depression, then there is at least one good thing about that. It's a good song, enjoyed it!
Very nice. Could well be the soundtrack for a documentary film on TV.
Wow, guys, that's a TREMENDOUS improvement on an already pretty impressive track. I love it. Great job!
Great vintage sound. Right up my alley! :)
I don't know the original, but your version sounds good. :)
Ah, damn, forgot to log in again. That latest comment was mine. ;)
If I don't stop listening to your songs now I will end up hitting the "favorite" button for all of them! :)
WOW, what a delivery. Your British accent is perfect for this. :)

What a ridiculously GREAT song! :D
Very good, downloaded. :)
Clearly influenced by the Beatles, the Beach Boys and such ... And a superb performance.
I love that piano and how your voice goes together with it. Great song!
Very nice listen! :)
Wonderful - I hear a lot of influences from many of my musical heroes, but yet you have your very own style.
