"Where it's going" meaning I prithee can imagine the instrumental backing more clearly. With just a guitar I found I was kind of losing a sense of the beat the first time or two.

We had a party here recently where I shuffled my iTunes (but only songs since 2000), and your "Happy Birthday Emma" came up, as I saw at the end of the night, but unfortunately I wasn't in the room at the time!

Persephone's song from the "Humble Daisies" forum comp also played.
