Song Week 2024 – Week 30 This is the third iteration of this song. It was first written in 2018 as a slow blues number. I re-recorded it with a new vocal in 2022. Honestly, it was too long and slow to play live. I like the song and so when I tried it out live I moved it to this blues rock version. Now it motors along just fine.

Song Week 2024 – Week 29: With hindsight I think I have been exploring an idea for a TV theme here. As I have been reading espionage thrillers recently, the idea of spider webs and trapped spies crept into my subconscious. The result is an instrumental, partly rooted in appreciation of nature and partly the world of espionage.

Song Week 2024 – Week 27 A short and simple song this week. Interpret it as you will.

Song Week 2024 – Week 25: An instrumental.

Song Week 2024 – Week 23: An alternative rock/pop song based upon the prompt ‘Warning Shot’. Very simply a warning to those who do not respect either themselves or others.

Song Week 2024 – Week 17: Song lyrics really are becoming simpler and more repetitive, according to a study published on 28/03/24. Lyrics have also become angrier and more self-obsessed over the last 40 years.

Song Week 2024 – Week 14: A grungy bit of pop rock about separation and inertia.

Song Week 2024 – Week 12: A mythical, romantic summer in ancient Greece but all the while the ‘life to be lived’ lurks outside the moment.

Song Week 2024 – Week 8: How to spend Friday – just create a gentle groove and overlay with voice and different instruments. A gentle crescendo about the dark side of life.

Song Week 2024 Week 7: A song partly influenced by the film ‘Maestro’ but generally about relying on someone who cannot or will not give in a challenging relationship.
