In the Afterglow
Song Week 2023 #40: A collaboration with Andy Harding, so guitar led, with a folk/singer-songwriter style. A song about time, space, journeys and sky. Pausing a while to take it all in.
The Angel Number
Song Week 2023 #39: A bit of ‘sceptic grunge’ about numerology nonsense. People trying to make order out of chaos.
Homeland
Song Week 2023 #38: A fairly raw performance of this week’s song. It’s about belonging to the place we live – our homeland.
Ropes and Carabiners
Song Week 2023 #37: A song about climbers and climbing. I have climbed but climbing is not an activity I enjoyed, so in this song I am the observer on the ground ‘rigid with vertigo’.
Dancing Anna
Song Week 2023 #36: A bit of experimentation with PopBossa.
Better Things to Do
Song Week 2023 #35: A brighter pop love song – sort of. “Make your favourite colour me.”
Unethical Ghost
Song Week 2023 #34: What if you became so corrupt and unethical that you got trapped as a ghost in your alternate reality and could never return?
Train Song
Song Week 2023 #32: Working with the SaW prompt ‘Funerals and Weddings I have mashed up references to both in this song. It starts as a story and switches to the words of the author. It is about people seeking love and marriage, whilst dealing with death and concerns about our own mortality. No matter how explicit or implicit authors always reveal something of themselves in what they write.
