sONgwriting - Raindrops in the Ocean.
Since November I’ve finished fifteen songs. I’m currently trying to finish five or six and there are countless others, waiting patiently for the hand of
creation to make them presentable. Only about five of these songs are suitable for sending off to publishers, the rest are too, well, too me.
I’ll make a song progress widget, so you can see that I’m working even if it looks like I’m spending twenty three hours a day on twitter.
The rest of the songs I’ll be recording later in the year if I can find the money to do so, this will probably mean going to the bank. I’ll keep you informed.
I’m really happy with all the music I’m making at the minute, I just wish I had a more definite ida of where everything will end up. I’m at one of those periods where I’m
questioning the validity of what I do, especially now that I have a family. I can’t keep risking the mortgage on making albums but on the other hand I can’t imagine doing
anything else. I love what I do and I’m pretty good at it, trying to make it pay is another matter.
I’ll put some music up soon, so you can hear what I’m up to.
Can’t wait.
Good to hear your news, it is. And I am looking forward to the new tunes, I am.
Only 23 hours a day?
Looking forward to hearing something soon!

On the topic of songs, I believe that the flat that my partner and I just sold was the source of inspiration for “Blue Room in Archway” …
Yes, what is the point of writing a song if nobody is going to buy it apart from a handful of die-hard fans? Writing songs for other artists is a complete waste of time too; nobody has a deal anymore, and if they do, they write their own songs or choose from - count em’ - sixteen hundred established songwriters who have penned #1 songs in the UK alone. If you’re lucky enough to find a young up and coming artist you’ll still be in the same position of—> no deals, no money, no interest. You have to wake up one day, have a cold shower, look yourself in the eye, and say: “today is the first day of the rest of my life.” And get on with it, mate. Or you can push on and on and on and suddenly ten years will have rolled by. The music business is finished. Music is free. Give it away or give it up.
