A beautiful melancholic ballad. Nice instrumentalist and strong vocals. Well done.

Wonderful vocal performance. You've got some nice pipes, man. :)

This is one of my favorites of yours John. Just a great mood and performance with sophisticated lyrics.

The song has such a timeless quality to it, feels like it could have been released decades ago and that previous generations loved it, I really like this!

Damn, this is some classy songwriting, John! Melody has a 60s Bacharach kind of vibe, like an unearthed classic. Beautiful vocal! And those strings 👌 (i used to live just off Coldharbour Lane so this gets extra points from me).

Agree with David about the songwriting (he’s quite a talent himself BTW). And also like David, you’ve got some serious singing chops man! I made a promise to myself this year that I would try to do more singing in my music which I have done, but this is inspiring me to keep working at it! Thanks 😎

Coldharbour Lane (John Stone)
I know this town so
It holds no surprises
I've worn a path in the pavement through walking around
Watching the wind blow
Watching the grass grow
Here are the parks and the pathways are well trodden ground
Coldharbour Lane
Down to the Water
Had you forgotten
That we were old friends
Let's talk it all over again

Love is n't something
That I can count on
God know I've tried and I've tried and I've struck out again
Why did she leave me?
Why did she hurt me?
Here in this town I've no lovers and only one friend

Coldharbour Lane...

Its been some time now
Since we got talking
Only the names have been changed but the problem's the same
Only the lonely
Only the crying
Know all the rules of the old-fashioned street talking game

Coldharbour Lane...
