lyrics- are sad, but great. You have a really great group of performers here. I agree with Len about the roughness of the mix making it feel live. Excellent. |

Soundtrack for Extras This is awesome, I love the feeling. You must know you sound a bit like Bowie in that croon, adore it. This would go so perfectly with a Ricky Gervais skit, so much so you all must find him and make sure he knows it exists. Downloaded! |

I have to agree with Len regarding the mix - but I do think it would sound a lot better with a higher bit rate - I don't mind the hiss but the MP3 artifacts are a bit too obvious. However, it's a great song with excellent performances from everyone. Downloaded - but look forward to a 'tarted up' version someday! Peter |

Very nice song Dick. Kudos to you, Pail, and Rebsie for an excellent job. As you say, the vox/guitar is a little noisy, but only just. It giuves this a natural character, like you're listening to a live performance. I guess in a way we are, aren't we. Great hob on the lyrics and you vocal doing them. Pass the compliment on the lyrics along to Graeme for my will you mate. Thanks for this, it wonderful. Ed |

no matter the technology, great songwriting shows through. This is fabulous. Kudo's to all. I hope you take it in the highest regards intended, but I hear shades of david gilmour here. Outstanding |

Quite simply A fantastic bit of songwriting Really love the lyric, and the one take vocal/guitar is great - I would never have guessed unless you'd said - A genuine "Favourite" Phil |

Love the performance Dick Great playing/singing etc all round. Your voice is sounding in top form Dick, and Paul's understated piano works perfectly. Having Rebsie doing BGV is always going to be a positive addition. Any criticisms are regarding the production from the single mic approach on vocals and guitar, but you are probably already aware of them. This is a really good song btw - lyrics and melody remind me of someone but I can't place them. Good stuff! Neil |

Sparse That guest piano part sometimes peeps around the corner of the vocals, and then it disappears for a while again. I would probably find a couple of spots where the piano part is particularly well executed, and then push it forward in the mix for a whole verse. Also gives a bit of variety to the arrangement. |

May be what you call a 'rough mix', but there's a lot of heart coming through both in the performance and the lyrics. Great song and vocals are great, cheers M |

I'm not sure why but there's something of Pink Floyd about this... perhaps it could find a place on 'The Wall', because there's something a bit Roger Waters about both the lyrics and your vocals. And don't be so tough on yourself Dick because you may not have written this but the vocals and the overall piece sound great. Fab contributions all around. |

Very proud of you Dick It's been a privilege for me to see this track come together and I still think your first demo was spine-tingling ... but there's no doubt you nailed it with this version. A beautiful moving live performance, and I think you got the mix spot on. It's an incredibly powerful song. The lyrics are amazing even by Graeme's standards and it benefits from Paul's piano enrichment. Thank you Dick, you've done us all proud. :) |

This just popped into my ears again via iTunes on shuffle. It really is a fantastic track. I will enjoy listening to it many more times. Thanks. Cheers Len |

Really the mix sounds pretty fine to me. The roughness does give it more character and really it is a very mildly rough mix at that. Vocals and lyrics are great, yes somewhat depressing, but good stuff. I really enjoyed listening to this tune call me dimwitted. Thanks =) |

Showtune? This is just a great, well-written tune. "Showtune", sort of made me shy to listen. Rebsie is sounding like Dido on the backgrounds. Dick, very nice vox. Dave |
Firstly, an extremely well written and well crafted song with exceptional lyrics.
I think your vocal performance on this Dick is superb - sung with such feeling. Pauls piano and Rebsies vocal fit perfectly too. Although the mix is a 'bit rough' I think it actually gives the song a 'live' feel which makes it seem very intimate to the listener. Really enjoyed this and downloaded. Thanks.
Cheers
Len
