this is a top 10 hit...anyone else agree?

nice hook Stephen; and I like the pause a bit further on too.  Beatle - ish

Brilliant song. This is what SC is all about - discovering artists like yourself. There's so much out there that it always comes as nice surprise to hear something so good as this. Keep up the good work!

The intro's great. I would have done something different with it, but this is better!

you cover a lot of ground but it all sounds personal and original. Good stuff!

A demo I did some time ago in Scotland in Perth studios. So far I've have been forwarded to a record company by an A&R representative for a deal. and Arrabella and She Blew Me Away was what I sent in. Apparently they liked it. I was never confident about this demo or sharing it. I plan to make some changes to it as It will be part of my up and coming EP of late 2012.

''It has such a good feel to it, and is just completely infectious.'' Taxi A&R - Song - She Blew Me Away

''from the image laden verses to the simple title/refrain, which works beautifully the song is compelling and I just wanna play it again as soon as it ends.'' Taxi A&R - She Blew me Away

''The songs have a cool vibe and feature ironic, entertaining and personal lyrics. The capable and, at times, idiosyncratic, lead vocals suit the material well. The musicianship is solid and fitting and the production sounds good overall.'' Taxi A&R - Songs She Blew Me away and Arrabella
