Nice tune and lovely story telling.

Was listening to a Roy Harper song the other day (When An Old Cricketer Leaves The Crease)which has a similar vibe (sort of).

Good work on this.

'justanoldmuso'...

Aside from the emotionally stirring background information you provided on the creation of, and the inspiration for your song, it is a powerful listening experience also because of the way you build-up and bring down the number and volume of the instruments over the length of the recording, the full-voiced vocal doubling, and your spoken-word storytelling talent. The outro fade works to maintain a never-ending feel to the song. Definitely, the nostalgia you desired to communicate comes through and through. It's a memorable listening experience.

PeterF and bluage
thanks soo much for listening and your nice comments.
i'm really happy that people seem to feel the ending works.
i debated at length over the ending which worried me a lot as to whether it would work.

best to you both.

ps...to clarify ...as people have asked me...
the "chicken run" was an area of the hammers boleyn football ground.
a remarkeable aspect was you would see people often blowing bubbles all over the football ground. it was a great sight
to see on match day.

Great job OM. I love your accent. You have a nice singing voice.
And I'll ditto Torrey here, the song style reminds me of something Ringo would do. That's a compliment of course.
The outro sounds fine to me. I really enjoyed it.

justanoldmuso,

For me, this has just a great Kinks feel to it. The organ you have running through this gives it great heart (though from a production standpoint, I might dial it back just a tad in spots). The harmonica was a great choice as well. Love a story song!

All my best,

Deej
