An acoustic version of a song I wrote a few years ago. My friend Bob Elliott encouraged me to record it with just two mics into one channel, so it's got a very live feel. I think it works best this way.

A song really built around a beat that I was having fun with. For a change, there's no acoustic guitar strumming chords. The flute is the main feature and the words came last. A little different for me.

I forgot to mention...
That I heard your first 4 songs and "A Kiss Like That" (cool retro feel..)
Very nice songs, good range on the vocals on "Change the World" and yes, acoustic
was good choice...
I like the fun crisp brightness of "crush" too, cool tune...
Will give an ear to more soon...
Cheers,

Tom,
Thanks a lot again, for pointing out the files that weren't playing.
I've re-uploaded them and checked them and there their now,
for your review, when you have the time.
I've had those tunes up since 2009, but have not played them since I first put them up.
So it might be a good idea, for all that read this, to check your tunes,
as the files may have been corrupted somewhere down the line....
Respects,
Eric Richardson / EMU

Hello, sorry for such a tardy response. Have not visited IAC in a while or written any new songs, but your comment was very inspirational. Thanks so much for listening to my songs. I love the Lowden. Don't you think it is one of those guitars that is designed for fingertips and not a pick? I have never really got a good sound when playing with a pick on the lowden, but gorgious tone when using finger tips. I listened to your songs Tom, and you have a really great sound, love the chrous on No Song Unsung, very catchy. Well, thank you for the comment Tom. Truly appreciated.

Thanks so much for listening and commenting on my new song. I really appreciate feedback and I agree with your comments - it needs quite a lot of work but at least the bare bones are there. I have a great producer who'll help arrange it but I'll probably keep it pretty simple.
I'll pass your lyrics on to my friend with the horse exhibition. I'll let you know what she thinks.
Thanks x
