Hey Judas! (aka The Urban Alligator Song)

Somewhere in Idaho
Song a Week 2022 – Week 46: Writing to the prompt from the Song a Week group, a song about Idaho. A place I have never been, but hey, Wikipedia is a mine of information.

Circle of Hands
Song a Week 2022 – Week 44: I experimented with lyric writing here. Firstly, I generated a series of images using an AI service which translates a random set of phrases into pictures. I then selected some of those images and wrote the lyrics from the image. These feature in the video.
