Enjoyed this Neil, just felt at times the melody could've done with some lifts. Nicely written and structured though mate,

Echoing previous comments. Very nice tune Neil - enjoyed it immensely. Loved the guitar parts especially the little lead phrases that came in around the bridge. Only thing that I would consider changing is in the lyrics ( which were wondeful by the way ). In the third line you use the word change twice and It just doesnt seem quite right to me somehow. Perhaps you could find an alternative for one of those words, just might sit nicer.

Lovely song, great listen.

Allan.

i tell you to put on a leather jacket & you put on a rog waters tshirt!
theres a few dodgy notes on the vocal but i did love the sort of quaint english charm & the whole world we knew thats disappeared for good vibe......who else writes a song about decimal coins ruining our lives
some very nice lead bits aswell :)
Tell me Im wonderful & I ll be nice to you :)

Very nice!
Love a song that needs google to make sense :)
Getting a Roger waters vibe here as well and some hints of Belle and sebastian.
Nice cords and nice song altogether.
Good work. :)

Really like this Neil, has a very british rock vibe to it, agree that theres a couple of off notes on the vocal but generally a well rounded song. Really good voice suited to this genre very well.

Great intro and yes, the Roger Waters comparison is valid to my ears not only vocally but lyrically as well. I think others have covered it pretty well so not much to add except I liked it very much.

very nice piece of work again, Neil

enjoyed this a lot

drums sound very good! Vocals in the higher region are a sometimes a bit off but also very charming, and the overall atmosphere is very pleasant

Hi Neil!!! I loved the way you brought in changes throughout the song. you should think about entering the uk songwriting contest i think you might have some success there. ben

Thanks for the +ve comments - it took a bit of work but really pleased with the lyrics and the 70's vibe. Its funny apart from a couple of songs I don't know any Pink Floyd stuff...
Alan - the line should be 'small change ( £ ) and funny changes' ( growing up/puberty ) I'll check what I sang.
Tinam be careful what you wish for - I'm currently scouring e-bay for an extra large leather jacket..
And Ben I've never really thought about entering songwriting contests I've just joined the forum and I'm enjoying it so who knows..

Hi Neil,

Love how it picks up around 2.50. Nice production. Some good playing. When you sang that first "now" i thought you were going to start singing "My Way!" Nice observational lyrics.

Nice one.
