groove

instruments

driving drums and bass

love the chorus; how you play with the vocals - great interlude - great build up - boom

Wow, what an overwhelming response! Thanks to each and every one of you, very much appreciated!
I've always been a big fan of the Pogues and even though this song is a little bit different compared to what I usually do I like to belive there are shades of folk/celtic in them. So glad I finally got around to do a track like this, great fun!
And no, personally I don't think I sound much like Shane and thank God I don't look very much like him either.

Sadly enough he don't seem very well these days... :-(

Hi!

Your song grew on me. When it got to the third verse I really started to like it.
I think you get this good match between pub rock and not being too, well, masculine.

Great!

Hi JB,

What a cheery tune.
Loved the lyrics - very well delivered.
The music is fab. Relentless, in a good way.

Loved it.

Hi JB,

Bleedin' excellent song beautifully realised. Loved the tin whistle and the Pogues instrumentation. I think you sound more like Bob Geldof but the whole point is, it's brilliant. Hard to write a fun song and be clever without sounding like a complete arse but you've pulled it off (the song, not your arse :-))

Great stuff - around half way I was thinking, OK so that's a nice idea but then the man himself appeared and the story developed further! Very clever and I think you really got the most out of the idea. Maybe I will drop "you sound like Bjork" or some such into my next reviews to see what comes out... And great real whistle by the way. Very cool.

A really good song and production.  Mostly, I enjoyed the story telling. The performance is very good here.

Well done

jambrians,
Loads to like here. Great lyrics and music put a big :-) on my face.
I hope it has a great big crowd singing the chorus towards the end, do you play it live?

 Excellent song JB....bloody loved it, smiled all the way through. ;D

 Should be The Blessing Of Shane MacGowan though. There's no one
 around who can sing like you.  Those pipes of yours are awesome to
 behold...and powerful.  It's the sort of voice that makes people stop
 and listen.  You just need the right song (and a bit of luck, of course)
 and you will FLY....I'm sure. You're making all the right moves, and your
 songwriting skills and musicianship (especially guitar) are top class.

 Keep on keeping on my friend.....I'm convinced anyway ::) ::)

Haha, that was perfect. Really made me laugh. You caught spirit of the music spot on.

Big thumbs up from me!

You kind of remind me of someone. I can't quite put my finger on it. Hmmmm. 😉

Great song. Very fun and catchy. Put a smile on my face.
