Okay, so let's see:
Clutching stems: Well it's relatively uptempo, I hear guitar, but synth rather than piano; not sure what it's about but I think I might have guessed somewhat correctly. Maybe.
Light on the narrow gauge: Certainly not a slow, folky song, some acoustic guitar yes but not really the song I had expected, or guessed at. Singer reminds me of Lloyd Cole, as an aside. Doubt we're gonna get any train sounding paraphernalia here. Unlikely there'll be any harmonica either. Uptempo song, guitar-driven yes.
“Fallen and falling”: Organ rather than piano, uptempo rather than slow, ironically this one features more lyrics about trains that the previous one did! Unrequited love? I think so, yes.
“Ignore the bell”: Uptempo, guitar but not keys that I can hear. Basic idea seems to be there or thereabouts: life's too short etc.
“Oh Christina”: Seems like a folky, acoustic feel to it, with some ambient sounds but hey, then it kicks up and it is an upbeat song after all. Guitar again, trumpet rather than sax, but I'll take that.
“Caught don't walk”: Certainly some brass, piano driven with a nice guitar. Is it instrumental? No. Boo. I hear violin, I hear violin.
Can that be taken as a guitar solo there? Hell I'm not above bending the circumstances in my favour once in a while: I need all the luck I can get!
“Breaking up on the beat”: (Oh, I got it wrong. Missed out a word. Now it makes sense, too late of course)... Relatively fast --- well, in fairness, let's not cheat too much: it's more midpaced than anything really --- guitar led, though there's trumpet in there, but there are also keys.
“Into the straight”: Totally wrong on this one. Fast song, organ driven. Bah. Good song though.
“Hey Jack I'm on fire”: Couldn't have been more off. Organ led again, not a rockabilly in sight. Urgh. (That's for my guess, not the song; it's pretty neat)
“Life less true”: No ballad this, no pedal steel. Just about as off as I could be.
Well, a bad ending but I think I caught the odd shot of dumb luck, or shrewdly predicted what some of the songs would be, depending on how you want to look at it. Tomorrow I'll post the scores, see how the actual figures look.
