RE: Open Mic Week 38 - Golden Sand (Original Song)
Love your guitar playing and melodies ! I'm wondering, which artists have influenced your writing the most? Don't know if it's simply your English heritage, but I'm definitely getting some hints of Lennon/McCartney flavors when listening to you...
It's much appreciated! I'd say if I'm influenced by Lennon/McCartney, it's probably through the people they influenced, as I haven't listened to them all that much really.
My favourite songwriter is without doubt Euros Childs. He is actually Welsh, and I like a lot of Welsh music. I was going to link to a youtube song, but couldn't bring myself to share the same page as someone as brilliant as him. If you lookup his band Gorky Zygotic Mynci you'll find a lot of his best work I think. Michael Head's album 'The Magical World Of The Strands' is amazing too.
I like lots of different styles though. You might also hear a little bit of Paul Simon's 'Feelin' Groovy' in the song here I guess.
Thanks Andy, I'll check them out !
