That's really excellent guys. Wonderful laid back, clever and witty song, with a pristine mix to match. Brings to mind Lightning Seeds, The Beautiful South and ELO. Enjoyed that greatly.
Cheers James (long time no see and all that) - when I first read this I thought "ELO?, are you mad?" then I went back to it and listened with fresh ears - I get it - good work old chap

You know what I like about this song? It's that perfect kind of happy..like a melancholy happy (uh, what?). I don't like happy songs at all and this one has all the right minors here and there, and almost dramatic arrangements, very cool.
Anyway, great production, great singing, song writing, everything. Good tune.

Yeah, my favorite Forum Monkey song. Very British sounding which brings it home to me (Willingham). LOL OK, I really, really think this is a terrific song! Well performed and mixed.

(Shouting from out in left field.) Did you say quirky? I prefer that instead of turkey--I've been called that too.

Well executed.
The first thing I noticed too was how clear the mix was, which is largely due also to the selection of sounds and the arrangement of the song. So spacious and clear.
Well written too.

That is great! I listened on a iPad and it translated great with no headphones. Great vibe.

This one deserves a bump. Across the board, nice job. Quirky and cool. The drums and over all mood make it sound borderline Monty Python-esque. A slight mood tweak in the other direction, and you could be Porcupine Tree or some other "important sounding" British band. Well done!!
