When I copy the link address, I get this:

Even more bizarre because when I click on that link it takes to a soundcloud page...?? I wonder if it's because I already have listened via facebook... I'll go and have a fiddle with soundcloud

It's good, as songs go, but not really my cup of tea. Reminds of stuff like the guitar pop bands that were popular in the middle of the last decade or so..

[discreet]

Yep, working now... A jolly bit of country-pop. Voice too quiet in the mix IMO, but that's just me.. I like it. I like the other track too, 'I Don't Want You Any More'. Not quite as up-beat, though, obviously...

Yes indeedy, I'm sure it's just a quick logic mix, the kit is loops, but if you listen closely the bass playing is rather fine, he is a nice player, does that professionally too, shows and such. But he plays the gtrs and sings.

I agree with this, to a point. The writing, the performance, and the production are all nicely competent, but I'm glad it doesn't go on for any longer than it does because that drum beat gets on my tits after half the song's length.

It's nice. Well sung, well played. But I'm afraid it's just a bit too one-dimensional for me. No allegory in the lyrics (unless it's about his dog or something), not enough interest in the arrangement, a bit too much playing to the folk-pop zeitgeist, all a bit bland for my tastes. But he does have a nice natural voice and I can imagine young girls swooning (unless he looks like a dog or something).

Sorry Jake

No probs Nig nor need for apology, taste is a personal thing and yours is as valid as mine.
I just like it for the innocent niceness of it.

Thanks Jake. I long for innocence in my cynical gnarled old head But I'm too far gone
