Come on! Get your finger out, you could have at least five before Christmas!

Dream on - in theory perhaps. I know I have written quite a few close together for the FAWM thing I mentioned (7-8 in a month) so I know it can be done - maybe I'll do more during the Summer holidays. I wish I could spend more time on it - I have enough time to jot down new and initial ideas but not enough time to follow up on them - I must have 30 songs with 1 verse, a chorus and a clear idea about what the song is about. The "Eye for Colour Theory" song (now renamed Beautiful World) didn't seem to get much attention here - I can totally understand it - it's not straight forward folk, pop or rock - more like acoustic geek-rock or something - I really don't know. Fortunately I don't have any two songs that are particularly alike. I have deliberately tried to avoid relationship songs which leaves me trying to write "more songs about building and food" (Talking Heads) for example. I'm relaxing that restriction a bit. Non-relationship songs are awkward to write.
