For my next trick I've reworked a track released 61 years ago by a popular beat combo called The Beatles.

It was written by JW Lennon, although he didn't like it much.

Here's my version, out today on all good streaming platforms, and some bad ones too.

Still Living Here is the latest single from my fourth LP, Suffering From Happiness.

It features my rudimentary piano skills. It's also one of the most depressing songs I've written.

I wanted it to reflect someone disappearing into the abyss below.

It's true.

My new album is out today. I'm told it's "A rather nice blend of power pop and singer-songwriter hooks with wry lyricism and lush, post-Beatles songcraft. Lou Reed meets Badly Drawn Boy". See if you disagree.

At the train station today, the ticket person was playing Elliott Smith in their booth. Over the tannoy would be even better.

Then, when I changed trains, someone was clutching his 2nd LP on vinyl.

It's a sign. But what does it mean? @MyFavESmithSong
