A masterpiece Jake, you are like a good red wine, maturing with age! Love the emotional energy in this song.

That’s a big word... thank you David. Am trying to mature where I want to, and not where I don’t!

The current wife and I have really enjoyed both songs so far, and look forward to buying the cd when it's out. Also appreciate the tongue and groove wall in background which we don't see enough of in modern music videos.

"The current wife"!! That is a bold move sir.

Glad the background got the attention it deserves too, I'll pass that on.

Thanks Bob.

Agree with everyone below. Another well crafted and clever song. Done all 3 and the video is great……I may post it elsewhere! Brilliant. When can we expect the album? Pre-orders taken?

No pre-orders just yet, but soon I hope, just finalising a few things here...

Bloody lovely - yet another cracker☺️! The video is just fab and I love that face of yours in all of its’ mid-take glory😉. Thank you dear boy - your weekly emails and songs & videos are such a joy. I look forward to them greatly and they never disappoint. Keep ‘em coming babes.

Ps - I wonder when you might be free to pour me some cereal? 😘

And another 10/10 response from you Iain. Am I paying you for these?

Love the idea that the emails become a regular habit for people, will keep it going as long as I have songs to write!

Great song Jake, have done all three options (listen, watch and download :-) and your "holding it together while secretly hiding the cracks, pretending we know what we’re doing when we really don’t" comment reminds me so much of Beautiful Shambles!

Yes absolutely right Steve! I think perhaps this one is also a little more at peace with the shambles.

With this second song, I can begin to see how this album is starting to take shape inside my mind (yes, that reference was intended haha). Really excited to hear it in its entirety upon release, Jake. Keep it up!

Oh Ben.... slow claps for that pun!!

Thanks man, it'll be interesting to see how you like the studio versions compared to these live ones. Hopefully they feel like a natural expansion.

Yes yes yes! This may be my new favourite of yours. Love that the lyrics are so simple and so impactful. **Really** love the groove!

Yes! I really enjoyed trying to keep this one simple, so often I tend to overcomplicate (for better or worse). Simple can be hard though, reducing things down without becoming a cliche or losing the idea. Was a fun one to write for sure.

I think if anything, simple (and good) is actually harder than complex (and good).

Jake, Jake, Jake - two beautiful songs that you've shared up to now and two beautys that you should be very proud of. Hope to hear them sang and played live in the not too distant future

Jake dude... love this song. I am an old cynic these days, rarely do I hear a new song that I think is fantastic..

This is one of them. WHY AREN'T YOU A MEGASTAR??

I am asking for a friend.

Ahh Steve... lots of reasons I think, maybe one for a future blog post.

Glad to have won over an old cynic though, surely that counts for double points!
