First impressions, glad JJ is singing. Sounds quite uplifting to me in some way, even though the topic is very sad. Keyboards are lacking, but that's good for this one.

Will obviously need to listen more but I think it's a well done from me!

It just had to be JJ for this one, it couldn't be anyone else.Hope he sings more on the album too.

Indeed.
Just 1 listen so far, thanks JJ & Baz.
Yeah as mentioned “This is where your solo will go” got me too.
A beautiful tribute.

A thoughtful, wistful, well written song. JJ in reflective mood and singing from the heart.

It’s not going to set the chart alight but it shows there’s some life left in this band. Looking forward to hearing it properly as part of the album.

Assuming that’s Jim on live drums, he’s really taken a close look at the Jet Black style guide. Almost indistinguishable from Jet’s playing. Which may or may not be a good thing, depending on what you’re looking for from the Stranglers in 2021.

I thought "This song" would be a good one to get on the radio, but not really appropriate to use a cover as a mark of the first anniversary of Dave passing, really.

I think a Tribute to Dave should have Dave playing on it.....but JJ is singing from the Heart on this Track.

Nice one, definitely counts as "the single" then. Very little chance of charting on the main chart sadly because it would take us all to download and stream it but good luck to them anyway.

I thought it was a great song, very moving and a very touching tribute. Poignant.

Fairly good musically and OK vocally.

Lyrically nice in parts but questionable in others - need another listen. Big surprise that the track being played wasn't water.
