Brilliant (signed the anonymous Wheelwright fan) !

thoroughly charming, full of intelligence (musical and literary!), and just darned wonderful.   and the guitars at the end!!!

Addictive song 😎😎😎 Had to listen all over again 🔥🔥🔥

Beautiful, as ever... I love your voice and the way you use it.

Electric guitar plus vocal moving against and around on it, plus neat echo at appropriate moments. This is another Wheelwright special, where the voice dances around its seemingly innocuous lyrics.

Love the illustration. I take it, the head is the stable boy post-decapitation. What a rich playground your unconscious creative must be.

Some unforgettable chord changes and vocal changes here.

What you need
Is a stable boy
Yeah you need someone
You can rely on
Yeah you need someone
Who'll bolt the stable door
Before the last horse has gone

And love it's such a cheesy song
But we've all got to sing along
Yeah love is blind it's plain to see
That love will never let us be

What you need
Is a stable boy
Yeah you need someone
Someone who isn't me
Yeah you need someone
Who'll bolt the stable door
Before the last horse has gone

[Repeat chorus]

Stable Boy

Music's got a hold of me.
I am also half of Fictive Sisters https://fictivesisters.bandcamp.com

I have a soundcloud manifesto too (I know almost no one cares):
(1) I do not want to win at soundcloud
(2) I respect people who listen by trying to do work that is as good as I can make it but I may attempt (and possibly fail badly at) different kinds of music so you will probably find some of my tracks suck quite badly even if you like others
(3) If I follow you please feel no obligation to follow me back or to listen to my tracks because I know different people like different things
(4) If you follow me please don’t expect me automatically to follow you back because as I said different people like different things. I try to listen to most new uploads of the people I do follow, so there are only so many people I can meaningfully follow (and only so many reposts I can cope with) at any one time before it all gets a bit overwhelming
(5) If I add a track of yours to my likes that means I particularly like it and if I comment on a track that means I really did want to communicate something. I do not do these things expecting or wanting anything in return or fishing for listeners/followers etc.
(6) Soundcloud (still) can be wonderful and has wonderful people in its universe but some aspects of it do my head in and so I am putting this out here so everyone knows where I am coming from. This is not intended as criticism of anyone else, it is just what works for me
