unclechristoI;ve been out of the songs head for a while but just lately I have been writing new ones - bit rusty so they are needing some tweaking. This morning I woke at 6am and 3 verses popped out to a song which I;d only had a chorus for at least a year.
Another strange thing has been sorting through the file of old lyrics I found a while back - I think they are from around 1994-5-ish eng of The Storm thieves - start of The Talking Fish era. Weird. I wrote loads of songs then - more than either band could take - some I still remember the music - others not.. My influences I had then in each song are much more transparent. Quite afew hopeless relationship songs, quite a few green saving the planet songs. A lot of the lyrics are kinda cleverer wordwise than I am now. I was TOTALLY into the world of songs then. Less so now. There are several pretty good songs - interesting to asses them next to new ones I;m gathering. Interestingly one song I no longer remember the music to has similar ideas to the a song I have music for now but only a few lines - and the lines fit with some tweaking so that's handy. Between the old and new there are already way too many for an album. I guess I need to assemble a list and see what there is. Still going thru the old lyric file at the moment - and finishing new songs.
Also instrumental pieces on the piano I wrote way backj then are coming back to me - donlt know what to do with them - very Azimuth/John Taylor influenced.
I might just start recording this week as there are no gigs...
