Aw wow.

Come Back Rosie - Stuart Walker

This is an absolute treasure. Lyrically very beautiful.

Same name as my daughter too who has her tenth birthday next week.

Downloaded for eternal listening.

Aw, bless. It's like Jean Genie, but remade for Camberwick Green.

Gorgeously sweet. Aw.

that's exactly what Sam said :oops:

this was just meant to be a note of the idea, but then the lyrics got sort of finished and it kind of works even though it's full of stumbles and an extra bar where I didn't expect it - no timeline for this one :wink:

Hey Sp3ccy can I quote you on that? :lol:

This is the sort of song I imagine Roger (Syd) Barrett writing and singing in him mum's Cambridge garden on a Summer afternoon. Needless to say, something deeply wonderful.

it's bluesy, it's folksy... it's right up my alley!

this is one of those breaths of fresh air. one thing i just love is being able to go from listening to a great piece of Downtempo, like Katie's song, to rolling over to a piece like this...

i'm very serious when i say i haven't bought a commercially released CD in... well, it's been a long, long time. not because i don't like it, but because the artists here are raising the bar every day. i hear the influence we all have on one another, and if this song inspires someone to create a piece in the same vein, then we have twice the joy. and in turn, I know for me, hearing the amazing stuff you all are doing in the electronic genres has got me itching to finish up the folk stuff and move into a new area.

this piece is a fine example of stripping the music down, getting back to basics, and just loving what you do. it shines and it's wonderful, despite the simplicity.

even better, a piece like this can stand solely on its own, or it can be redressed with a host of techno gizmodgery and be made into a whole, new animal. it's just one of those pieces of music. terrific work here.

thank you!

I can't believe you folks all like it this much! Is it my birthday? Or April the first?

MaggieNever been compared to Syd Barrett before :oops: I do love those whimsical acoustic tracks on his solo albums, though. And yeah! that stoned summer lawn sound! (Never knew he was from Cambridge, either - that explains a lot!

BorisExactly. I not for the variety, talent and artistry and above all, Freedom, of everyone here, i doubt I would have attempted to follow 'Haunted' with this track. I nearly didn't post this but then i realised that there wasn't any reason not to. Thanks you lot!

And thank you Dava and slumbering. :D enjoy!

Where's the party?
