Hello all,

Just uploaded a rehearsal recording of a new song that we've been working on. It's called "Only Tonight" (working title) and is a bit of a departure in terms of what we've previously done. I am quite pleased with it though, except for my inability to play in open D properly!

Thoughts?

We've had some feedback from other places, but not from the folk on Aberdeen-Music. Anyone? We are planning on recording soon, and considering this song as a potential candidate.

As usual, myspace is being a twat. I'll try and remember to listen to it later!

I'll give this a listen once I'm home.

Aye, sometimes when I try listen to a song on myspace, Firefox just throws a massive thrombo, freezes and crashes. Very frustrating.

Jan, I've been critical of the violin in the past, as I think you and I have discussed, but it's used beautifully here. I like that build up.

Sadly, the song cut off for me a few lines into MC's lyrical vocal.

But it was sounding really nice. A slight shift away from your early sounds, but in a good way.

For folks having difficulty with listening on myspace (or who want to listen to it some other way), you can download an MP3 of it here:

I liked it! Thanks for the link. Keep up the intersting music, good to hear something different from the norm. I've been meaning to catch you guys for ages but never seem to be free or miss you for some reason! I'll make it along some time.

I like it, it's a really pretty song and it's got a nice celtic folk-y feel to it.

My only negative comment (which feel free to ignore) is that the fiddle is a little bit too much at times. It sounds brilliant and really really adds to your sound, but there's like 4 minutes of solid fiddle before the singing even starts properly, then he/she plays under MC's vocals as well, it starts to grate a little bit. I think it would have a lot more impact if it was used sparingly. Just my opinion like, for what it's worth.

You guys have really come on leaps and bounds since you first started out, and you're doing something really different, which I have a lot of time and respect for. Keep it up....

I used the word "really" 5 times in that post. Does anyone have a thesaurus I could borrow?
