I found the Lemon Twigs thru your videos Justin. Thank you so much for introducing them to me and all of your own musical contributions. Peace brother!

Can’t say that they’re my favourite but enjoyed the video nonetheless 😊

Perhaps a review of "Spirit without a home" next. Best band in the world right now. Trying to get Rick Beato to highlight them, maybe you can help since he's not listening to me. HaHa

I can hear Village Green Preservation Society in this.

Justin, the descending chord prog in the intro reminds me very much of the chorus on Van Morrison's Crazy Love. I believe it may even be in the same key. 'She gives me love, love, love love, crazy love'

Hi Justin, been a life long fan of The Darkness. Been lucky to see you guys perform live 14 times now. In Glasgow you stopped IBIATCL to tell people to stop filming. 99% of us aren’t filming and it’s ruining the show for us. Lots of people left when you did this. It’s sad to see, it’s a favourite song for many that have come
To see you, it’s being ruined by the stoppages ☹️

A Twiglet without a lemon? Imagine The Darkness without a Hawkins. Gone would be the furious falsettos, outrageous ostinatos, and flamboyant catsuits. In might step a fresh-faced Queen tribute band singer, conjuring the ghost of Mercury into the Queen-and-AC/DC-fuelled rock party. Would it still be The Darkness, though, or just another rock ‘n’ roll séance in search of a soul?

A strong nod to Hibernian folk music about this for me. Love it!

He cites Dylan as a reference here, and I'm totally hearing "Stuck Inside of Mobile" particularly the chorus. Snare sound is very similar and orchestration quite similar.

The Twigs also have a Martin Newell feel. Love them.

DO THE BOOJUMS!!!!
Any of the three bang’n releases will do but I’d order them
1. Burnin’ Up
2. Don’t Wanna Love
3. Outta My Head but
y’know, but you do you.

I love this new song. One of my regrets of 2024 was not flying to the UK to see The Lemon Twigs. I’ve just checked their tour dates – people in Europe: go see them. Hopefully, they will return to the UK.

I like the old school song writing style. Great lyrics. I have played with this style a bit in the past byt never could pull it off quite this well. I've always been more bluesy in the way I write & sing.

Reminds me of the kinks village green at the end of each verse you've got that da dum da dum

Hey Justin just seen the D ….arkness in Hull, great show.
You introduced me to the twigs, i had a chat with the brothers after their show in Leeds last year, great lads

Sounds like the result of an AI being asked to create a plausible sixties track. But do we need such a thing?
@lukehogg
September 20, 2026 at 8:58 am
Hey Justin!
I know this is probably a massive ask been as the setlist is already finalised, but my Dad and I are coming to the Manchester gig tomorrow and our favourite song is Givin’ Up.
I see it’s not on the setlist and I wondered if there is absolutely any chance you would squeeze it in.
My Dad and I have been huge fans of yours since the release of PTL. We even saw you with Ash at the original tour back in 2006!

Loving The Thing. They just did a couple of singles recently don't love them as much as the previous year's release yet. Ana De Armas, Dixie Queen, Beige Bouquet, The Thing is, and Neptune plus most of the albums are great.

I know you've mentioned the production being really good buy I'd like to hear an acoustic version. For some reason I think it would really work. Make it 3/4, I really hear it. Only a unsuccessful musicians opinion 😁✌🏽
@relicguitar
September 20, 2026 at 8:58 am
Wow! He is playing a rare brazilian craviola guitar (brand: Giannini).
Jimmy Page had one in the 70’s.
I think 4 non blonds singer uses one in their What’s up video as well.

I'm just back from seeing you live in Glasgow. What a gig! I especially enjoyed the part when you rode again on the shoulders of a man and it put me in the mood for watching your videos. Keep up the good work and thanks for all the music recs and fun 🙂

the chord progressions on almost every song are fabulous! I am amazed by his constant ability to formulate the most magical, delicious, and addictive melodies. IMO as good as lennon or wilson.

I am a fan since their debut album. I saw them twice live. The last time a few months ago in Switzerland. They are an incredibly powerful live band. Their harmony vocals are out of this world. They are very talented in a world where mediocre and overproduced pop music rules and I wish them more success. It's great that Justin also promotes the band. I can't say that I am a Darkness fan but it is obvious that also Justin is an incredible musician with open ears and great taste looking out for talent. I also at some point bought two three-cd compilations of their dad Ronnie d'Addario. It is obvious that already their dad was incredibly talented but not as lucky as his gifted sons. But I also would like to extend my thanks to him for the beautiful music that he gave us and for the Twigs musical schooling!
