Been trying to find some time to re-visit tunes recorded over the last 2-18 months without lyrics and try to finish them, this is from April 2014.
BTW the sax is midi generated, and I have blisters on my 3rd finger trying for a decent solo (so rusty!)
Enjoy  :)

Lemmings
Andy Casson
10th Jan 2015
I've seen the stars they burn so brightly
I've seen the heavens as they roll
When we are left to our own devices
And so it's round and round we go

I saw the lemmings running out into the streets
You follow me, I follow you

I 've seen the beauty of the sunrise
A beachfront sunset had it all
Then heaven left us to our vices
And so it's round and round we go

I saw the lemmings running out into the streets
You follow me, I follow you

Cool mixture of sounds Andy, you've been very quiet for quite some time!
A very spare recording, but it really works. Lovely solo as well.
Nice to have you back :-)

Really liked this Andy. I think it's one of those tunes that is good initially but gets even better with a few listens. Great dynamics keep it fresh and the rather unusual instrumentation is very cool. Liked the sax tones and solos and loved the wild guitar solo riffage at the 3:00 mark or so. Interesting lyrics delivered well. Fine job on this tune!

Man, there is si much god stuff going on in this tune, I dig the sparseness of the rhythm tracks, single not lines with those great guitar riffs then that bridge with the sax solo is really outstanding & that blazing solo at the end! Love this tune, abit different for you but all you. Bring on these tunes brother.
Rock ON!

Because the Hook brings you back

On that you can rely

Love the lyrics.

I think you tore off a really nice solo here (don't worry - that blister will heal and toughen you up for the next one!  ;D)

Great production too Andy.
This song sounds really good on my headphones!
It ain't pretty being easy.

Those single piano notes that carry the song are brilliant Andy! So simple yet so affective. I always like your unique sounding vocals. The sax was a great add and the guitar solo might have given you a few blisters but to my ears it was tasty as all get out and well worth a few blisters. You rock...bring on some more!

The low & dark piano sound combined with the haunting sax make this a compelling listen. Nice!
