[I'm Out Of Here For A While]

2 weeks! More like a month as it turns out - I'm now emerging from a mountain of deadlines and pressure - hopefully I'll be hanging around the boards here or maybe throwing my effort into the 50/90 songwriting challenge.

[I'm Out Of Here For A While]

You're dead right of course...must get back to it though.

[Work/life Imbalance]

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.
