The Lost Summer of Love
Song Week 2023 #42: Song a Week composition that is about this week. Replace ‘amplify’ with ‘escalate’ and it all makes sense. This is just a way of processing horror but I have not got beyond despair.

Fireflies with Afterburn
Song Week 2023 #41: Few words to describe this one. I had the idea of fireflies being fitted with afterburners. Hence their tails glowing like jet engines. Rock instrumental.
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.

Song Week 2023 #38: A fairly raw performance of this week’s song. It’s about belonging to the place we live – our homeland.

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’.
