Song Week 2024 – Week 49 A song about never being in the limelight or at the forefront. The lost aspiration of youth. Quite frankly depressing but an experiment in electronica.

Song Week 2024 Week 44 Song a Week founder James Tristan Redding has just completed the challenge of writing (and singing to camera) a song a day for a leap year.
