New original, hope you like. The guitar work lets it down a bit I am so rusty

Anyway, enjoy  :)

Nice to have you back Andy with a great track too...a double whammy!!

Nothing much wrong with the guitar or song for that matter, very atmospheric.

Tony  :)

Powerful stuff Andy!

Very good song and as always a great performance

This was great. I like everything about it.

JOA

And I do like it. Guitar works sounds fine to me!

Good to hear you back Andy, great song.
Hope all is well with you.

Great to hear you back again Andy, your knack of creating "big" songs, both in terms of production and performance is evident again here once again.

Another beauty that builds up from a gentle start, adding layer after layer of perfectly placed additions which build up the power and intensity and provide excellent dynamics throughout.

I want some of your rusty guitar skills :)

thanks very much for all the kind comments guys, have not had much time for making music recently but planning to change that! Take it easy

Andy

Ha! That's rusty?!!!!

Big, ambitious and so beautifully executed. Perfectly crafted in every respect. Great to see you back - and with a belter! :-)

Hi Andy, always good to listen to a new one from you. Great build finishing as a powerhouse production, top quality post.........Willie

ps the guitar work sounds pretty hot to me.

Nice build up here Andy! I don't hear any rustiness with your guitar work but as players and writers I know our own personal expectations are always set high. A dark song that pulls me in...well done!

HI Andy a superb preformance well done..liked the guitar
u did well did not sound rusty ...as u mentioned re playing.
good vox and liked lyrics especially wishing u the best NEIL

Yay Andy's back. Evokes a Heathcliffesque atmosphere - dark, broody, romantic - I like it!

Halfway through this, on the first play, I got up and fetched my headphones. That was a good decision. It's a very full and immersive mix. You'll miss some nuances if you're listening on a phone or laptop speakers.

Drums don't come in until about the one-minute mark. And until that point, the song seems poised to go in several directions. (Spoiler Alert! ) I was not expecting big late-classic-metal – or whatever you might call this style. There's so many dynamics here. The vocal is the consistent thread, and everything else rises, falls, and swirls around that steady signal. It's a great effect. The pulsing strings are such a simple and effective touch. Great song.

The wait is over.

Now that is a bump........what a track....I would not have heard this otherwise........long live the blackout bump.......may you never remove this burdensome task from your shoulders.......a service to all that is good and fair in this darkening landscape we find ourselves in...........bump away good knight of the bump........if it is your only weapon against the darkening dawn, then I say wield that mighty bump finger with purpose and joy......what a great track to bring back up....it will provide sustenance for many a dreary and hungry hour.....

Sorry. In the 780 weeks I've been registered on this site, there have been approximately 558 weeks where I didn't engage at all – 71.58% of all weeks. If I keep hunting down weeks where I didn't hear at least one new song, I'd be Blackout Bumping for another two years.

So the Blackout Bumps will be winding down and wrapping up in three weeks. After that, I'll retire the spreadsheet. But I will use the more conventional methods of discovering songs I missed: Random Dozen, On This Day, individual member jukeboxes.

Wouldn't it be cool if there was a jukebox for "Resurrected Gems" – like for older songs that have been recently bumped after X years since the last comment (the last comment not from the the original poster – to eliminate Masterbumping). I'd visit that jukebox! Probably.

Thanks for bumping this Andy song, Ted! I've always liked Andy's music and vocals. His voice sounds just like a musical friend of mine, to a tee. I wish he would find his way back to Songcrafters so we could hear some more of his musical gems.
