Yeah that doesn't sound like Stone's style at all.

I was going to say, it could've easily become another Amongst the Waves. And I like that song but didn't want another one.
Your post gave me a sarcastic laugh because you described what is my opinion of most Stone's songs since 10. This doesn't mean necessary bad or that i dislike every single song Stone wrote or co-wrote btw. It does imply that i cringe every time i read here that more Stone is the answer to all PJ problems though.
Sounds like it's more likely to be Jeff. So far Stone wrote the least liked song of the leaks.

Is this not written by Jeff?
Was this one of the Jeff ones? I wondered if it might be Stone because other vignettes have their songwriters featured... I'm assuming.

You know what they say about assuming...

Mike said it was Jeff. For what that's worth.

It's going to be Supersonic all over again with "Records". It's Ed's fault. Stone is Infallible in the eyes of the average PJ fan. Hence the vignette.

Good effort, but literally just talked about this a few pages back. Well before harmless ruined my Buffalo Springfield moment.

Looks like someone who hasn't heard it plagiarised from other articles.

Sounds like he listened to the first 4 songs and then skipped forward to Sleeping By Myself.
