He has no dexterity or sophistication.

He's a shouter.

Like that Florence and her Machine woman.

She never quite hits the note, No one know what note it is he's trying to hit. He wins.

Is this actually a Waltz?

Or just a song about a waltz?

It's gone slightly Neil Youngy.

Yeah, I guess it is - 1,2,3,4 etc etc...

But it's not particularly pronounced.

Thank God that's over.

It is over.

That was a whole big pile of uninspired.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

To be honest, I had a bit of an emergency during that and I missed half of that long one, and I was busying trying to get up to £20 on Amazon to get free shipping.

Ended up going way over, as PER usual. oh no

They could at least have put the Brush Strokes theme tune on it. Colbert

I shall give it 2 stars.

Maybe not the best idea to start off the album with a slow burn.

This is how you start an album, total disrespect of everything that's gone before

Sure the actual song not that good, which does tend undermine it a bit, A lot, but… NO YOU!
