EP update

I contacted the studios today about organising a day or two to record the EP. I asked them quite a few questions, so hopefully someone gets back to me.

I think I've decided on 4 songs, 5 if I have the time. Believe in Me doesn't really need to be re-recorded, but I don't want it to sound different from the rest. I've grown up a lot musically and vocally since I was 17, and I think it would be great if I had a new version of the song.

I'll give you the song listing once I know the exact order. The cover is being designed as we speak.

I'm going to try and enlist a few musicians to beef up the sound a little. While it is essentially a demo, I'd like to have bass/guitar/possibly drumming on a few of the tracks, in particular on Hiding, as I think that'll be first and I'd like to open with a kick.

And of course Chris will be on backing vocals for me, won't you babe?

Now it's just about putting together the cashola and organising the dates. I'm excited, are you?

Website update

Hi guys.

We've hit a few snags in the website process, and tonight I'm going to be putting the old site back up.. with a few photo changes, of course.

I realised that I have been having these troubles since August and now really have to do something about it.

The design team (yes, there is one) will be working on everything through February, and the site will go down again for a few days only while I get the new one up and running.

I apologise for having no site to visit for such a long time, and thank you for sticking me with me here.

Inspiration

Sometimes I get inspired at the strangest of times, in the strangest of places. I read something that shouldn't even relate to a song, but the way the words are placed or the simplicity of how someone is saying something, speaks to me.

At the moment I keep getting inspired at work. Today, just 15 minutes ago, I had that feeling I get where I know if I could just sit at the piano, something great would come. All of my hurt and confusion and.. sorrow, I guess, would be sung.

They say the best songs come from your worst times. I think this is true for a lot of my work. I feel a bit lost right now.

I wish I had a piano room here. I'm scared that by the time I get home, it'll be gone.
