i just don't do devotion the 'i mustn't show emotion, i just don't do devotion' line is priceless! and the quiet 'haha'. i also like the scary reverse reverb in my right ear during the choruses/hellaluyah's. good to hear something new from the person who comments on so many of my tunes! |

I liked.... I really liked this..I cant put my finger on it...But at times it seemed out of beat...was this planned ? But the fx and sound it way above good!!! |

Breath taking Reminds me of Tom Waits with the original arrangements and the way you sing. The piano melody works very good and keeps the song together. The chorus almost sounds like its recorded backwards:) Cool! |

I'm glad normal service is restored! Tom Waits - Yes I can see the similarity. I was thinking it was also the sort of song that Frank Zappa would have written, but your voice does take it more towards the Tom Waits area I have to agree. I love the suggestion of tension within the ryhthm on the intro..one of those that when it finally settles you say to yourself -Oh yeh -I see now. It's pretty instant too, by about the third play it got me. Great song, very unusual with an excellent performance. I also think your voice is just right for this -oh also must say - I shouldn't make comparisons really but we all do - your voice reminded me of Marc Knopfler as well. First time I've noticed this. Nice one Len. John. |

Totally unique as usual.You live in a parallel musical universe and are able to create things that most people wouldn't think of.I really like your vocal on this and those distorted guitar riffs are classic! |

Enjoyed Especially liked the quirky quality to choice of instruments. Truly original. Which is always a high compliment. Your voice sounds really nice, particularly at the second half of the song. LL |

interesting track that has a strangely engaging quality about it. some of the rough edges in the production really work here. |

Very nice Mr. Gold!!! I can't place the type of beat... But it's cool. Kind of a rolling beat sort of. Great guitar work! |
 | cjdaley said 157 days ago |
|
tom waits ? I don't why, something in your style reminds of Robert Wyatt. Maybe it's the beard on your pic, too. I like the thundering drums. Nice moment when the guitar kicks in. Maybe it is integral to your style, but I felt the vocals were a bit loud for me, though it makes sense as the song builds up. |

I have listend a few times now and am at a loss for words. Interesting is a understatement. Love the beat throughout. To Cool!!! Amen. Thanks and be well, Russ |

Unique An unique style you employ here. The vocals are kind of Smash Mouth -ish. Cool beat, enhanced by the "souvenir" shaker. Al in all, a pretty funny song :) Thanks Bill |
 | Go_Turtle_Go said 156 days ago |

as always... A surprise. The vocals, the mood and your playing. Very good song overall, production is getting top-notch (although the open hi-hat is a bit loud in the beginning and the end), nifty sounds and i love the way you played the guitar. But foremost, your voice, haleluja! A true Len treat. Love, Marc |

Well Len It seems it's been a while in coming, but worth waiting for. Love the sounds you've created with the backing and the mix sounds wonderful. The vocals are spot on with those great original sounding lyrics. Love that double track thing with the vocal too, Enjoyed this Len, regards M |

Wow... Great to finally hear a new one from you Len and WHAT A SONG it is!! Cool in every sense of the word. The fx were so good in some places I got chills lol. I have a new comparison to offer lol.... Your vocal has David Bowie lilt to it. I really enjoyed this piece and as always it is uniquely you Len, and very few artists anymore can make that claim. |

up and running.... ....with full steam. a pretty cool track. I like how the bass does it own thing that has a kind of a hop and skip to it, if that makes sense. The piano has a nice melodic feel that carries through nicely. also like some of the additional elements that come in on the chorus. Has all the earmarks for a trademark Lengold tune. |

Quite an amazing post Len! Until I got into the (6/8) groove, I was wondering if I should stop eating those mushrooms we had for dinner. This is definitely "out there", but in a good way. This is going to take me a few more listens I'm sure. Your vocal is reminiscent of Iva Davies (Icehouse) on some of the songs from "Berlin". The melodic bass riff is really different - holding things together and defying the kick to stay even close. Possibly one of the more original tracks I've heard here for a while Len. Good stuff! Neil |

Nice Mr. Pretend! That's what I thought it was like becoming adult. That's when I decided not to grow up! This has a great feel to it! |

Wonderfull arrangement I really like the cadence and swing - quite unexpected and original. Your use of effects and intsrument voicings is also excellent. Cool vox and lyrics too. Well done Len. |

~ Food for thought...great layering over the theme/beat...cool chord changes... |

Very cool I really enjoyed this one. Others have commented on the unusual rhythm and I think that's one of the interesting things about the song. Great production - those drums and keys sound fantastic. Also a lovely guitar tone. I really like the lyrics, too; some real gems in there! A terrific track. Nicely done. Peace. |

Super Great lyrics. This is very original. Love the 6/8 time signature and the tempo you have chosen. Great job! Your voice reminded me of Serj Tankian in spots. Check out his solo album Elect the Dead. -Adam |

Fabulous .. yet another golden nugget (gettit? ;o)) .. not much too add: very weird, wonderful, rich and impressively unique to me sounding .. only gripe was some bits seemed a bit too 'in my face' in the arragement when I felt a softer, more subdued feel (perhaps with less going on?), might work. Well done Len - have a safe, enjoyeable trip. |

Elliptical! Very striking melody and arrangement - and that lolloping rhythm is wonderful. Your voice is sounding much stronger as well. Nice one! KK |

hello Len! Listened to your new song today.I think it is good and quite interesting and interesting lyrics.I couldn't get the music part though abit,I think the piano needs to work on rythmwise(melody and piano don't sound syncronized to me) but other than that is good.(it is my opinian....) Hope you and Zamira are doing great and hope to see you soon. Love,Becca |

First of... ...your songs that I've heard. Pulse of the rhythm track is so solid that it just digs right into ya! Very consistent throughout. From a recording standpoint, the whole piece is pretty "right in your face..." Maybe if you'd give just a little distance so the listener wasn't so close to every instrument...I'd suggest that one thing to make this an easier listen. Vocals are, well, harsh (not a bad thing at all), but fairly often a little under pitch.) It was nice to hear something new this afternoon. Peace. Paul |

Show me the way to nowhere you stopped by my site and left some really cool comments so i started working my way through your catalog...i love the textures on this one...strange but accessible. Reminds me alot of Nick Cave but it's not derivitive, it's all yours. Cool lyrics too. Love the last verse. |
Wow, souvenir from Cornwall as well. As with all your tracks this one is very interesting. I like the effects you put on the track, very good and heady. Good to see you back on the song making front.
