How Long Has It Been?

Sweet! I really enjoyed that! As wb picked up on, it does have that Paul McCartney does tin-pan-alley feel, (or rather looks back to the same sources that Paul was fond of referencing) - the tinny retro audio really clinched it.

(Also, I suspect the element you refer to is the cool shift into minor key for a couple of bars in the last third of the song - which was indeed a fine touch. Also, the sax solo in the middle was fun.)

I need to start getting my catalog of half-finished and almost finished songs going again. I really have no excuse apart from a punishingly busy schedule and a tendency these days to fill my leisure hours with nerdy solitaire board games.

I'd guess the element mentioned was in the lyrics.
