this is one of my older songs, recorded this morning. just plain guitar and vocal. there's a little hiss and a false note on the guitar track but so be it.

this certainly fits the bill  dan/cheff ....should i be calling you dan becos ive been calling you cheff?
it totaly works as a complete song in just 1.14mins  which is very impressive & doesnt sound like its cut short or should go on longer
i love your big cuddly voice as usual......yes very impressive & probaly hard to beat!  :(
Tell me Im wonderful & I ll be nice to you :)

Got to concur with Tinam here. 1:14 and a complete sounding song! Brilliant.... and i've just chucked my first idea in the bin after hearing that, all of a sudden it sounds very crap.  :(

Hi Dan,

Your voice has great character and it is lovely to hear your songwriting skills shine through with a basic arrangement of guitar and vocal.  Neat fingerpicking and emotional vocal. Well done with this one.

yes, your vocal is so damn you, extremely good

could i ask you, Cheff Dan, one day to sing a few lines to one of my crappy songs
please, even though i know my music is totally not your music

but i would love to have you sing a bridge in one of my poor uptempo synthesizer songs, i hope you are prepared to do that

anyway i loved this short song, as always and sounds like a natural very short song
i loved your singing the best of it

i am going to look at my short song collection now, i have one or two in my files

but thanks for sharing this, Dan

And it's a good song! Your vocals are ace :)

Short, sweet, very warm and endearingly human vocal.

I wanted it to keep going with a string section coming in! Always a good sign

Only criticism is that the chord choice is a bit well-trodden. But this is more about the vocal and vibe anyway

Ace!

You really are the man - you have a voice that would melt an iceberg Dan

And you work really hard to pull the lyrics and production together

But this is one I think deserves a longer production  ;D

thanks james and andrew. i thought about the strings and a basic standup bass, but decided to keep it like it is. andy i think that everything has been said, making it longer would only be a repetition of parts.
