At the back end of last week, I found myself with a fistful of time, so I figured I’d do something useful with it and finished off three songs I had in my back pocket. Happy with said songs, I got my phone out and filmed myself playing them ‘pulp writer’ style: no edits, no extras, no fixing, no retakes… what came out is what goes on the page. If a song doesn’t work like this, then it probably won’t work when you get into a studio and throw all manner of tech at it.
Then, just because I could, I dropped them onto YouTube.
Here’s Death Takes A Holiday:
Here’s The Unknown King:
And here’s The Assassin’s Room:
In some alternate reality, a part of me believes this is the same as writing three novels but in the real world, I also know that at some point I really will have to go into a studio and throw all manner of tech at them.
More soon…
