A new song from Scott/Robert. This one started with a bluesy shuffle from Scott I nudged towards folk rock. To sum up the lyrics: "go West not so young man,even if its the last thing you do". Our newly minted Spirit Level survived a test here due to Scott`s unflappable nature and generous forgiveness of the late changes I threw at him: thanks pardner!!

Robert & Scott,
A very enjoyable song. Interesting lyrics, a really interesting melody.
A super cool sounding BAND. Very original sounding. And Scott's guitar fits in perfectly. Some of your best guitar work, I think.
A nice vocal, too. And a good mix. Cool song.
I like it.

Very good guys, you have developed your own signature sound I think.
You haven't done a song yet that I didn't like, keep them coming!

Very nice! I really like the lyrics, they paint a nice vivid picture.(I grew old, you pretended not to notice...)
I agree with Floyd, really nice guitar work. Love the intro. And your vocals sound great.
Thanks for sharing this.

A wonderful song with interesting story in the lyrics, and well sung, Robert. Man, Scott really lifts the whole production to a very polished level.

Evocative lyrics bouncing along to that very homey beat. Definitely a 60's 70's light rock vibe to my ears. I really enjoyed this.

Robert & Scott,

A super cool sounding BAND. Very original sounding. And Scott's guitar fits in perfectly. Some of your best guitar work, I think.
A nice vocal, too. And a good mix. Cool song.
I like it.
fj Thanks Floyd; this is a nice Biab style to begin with, though I take the credit for adding the fiddle chops... and give Scott all honours for delivering such cool solos and support guitars. Very good guys, you have developed your own signature sound I think.
You haven't done a song yet that I didn't like, keep them coming! Dave, This lockdown has been quite productive for writing and focusing on music; we do have more coming! Very nice! I really like the lyrics, they paint a nice vivid picture.(I grew old, you pretended not to notice...)
I agree with Floyd, really nice guitar work. Love the intro. And your vocals sound great.
Thanks for sharing this.
Steve
I`m glad you got the story, Steve;thanks for your comments. Robert

Spirit Level
Nice work all round, lyric, vocal, guitar (nice whammy) and overall production.
Really nice melody on the chorus, and I enjoyed those harmonies.
Very strong work.

A wonderful song with interesting story in the lyrics, and well sung, Robert. Man, Scott really lifts the whole production to a very polished level. Marty, I thank you for that and agree- Scott came through (twice really as mentioned in the intro), blazing on this. Evocative lyrics bouncing along to that very homey beat. Definitely a 60's 70's light rock vibe to my ears. I really enjoyed this. My inspiration for the band sound came from a couple of celtic folk rock bands - The Waterboys & Runrig.I hope we captured a little of that feel. Thanks for your positive comments. Robert

This is a very fine tune. The lyrics read like poetry. Beautiful vocals. I love the electric guitar. A well played electric guitar is my favorite instrument and this meets that definition.

"This one started with a bluesy shuffle from Scott I nudged towards folk rock. "
Yep, and a bit toward a melding of Jefferson Airplane and the Dead to our ears.
Airplane in ambiance and the Dead with that bounce in the rhythm.
We really liked the write and particularly:
"I grew old you pretended not to notice taking you down dead end dirt roads please find enclosed it sticks in my throat my request not that I`m owed"
Your vocal delivers the whole feel very effectively and, man, that guitar is wonderful.
You guys have found a great niche on the showcase!
Enjoyed it.
J&B

Very enjoyable shuffle, the chorus is really nice and catchy, the solo is very beautiful. I can really feel the Celtic influences you mentioned and also I can hear Thin Lizzy, especially in Scott's guitar sound and playing. You have found your own style, I'm just amazed how much creative and very productive collaboration there's on this forum. I'm already waiting for your new songs  Janne
