So from Friday 19th March - Sat 20th I was holed up in my bedroom making music. It feels like I haven't done that in a while. I mean after making my album Perfectly Fine I was pretty tired of recording and mixing. I've still been doing it as I've been writing a lot of new music lately, and I'm slowly working on another album - but these two days were different. I sat down and wrote, recorded, mixed and mastered two songs in two days. The album has just been bits here and there so far. This time however I was in a total creative zone where for those 48 hours the music just totally took over. I haven't enjoyed that feeling in a while - just being impulsive and making some music, without really any purpose or taking into account the outcome. I just did it for the there and then, and it really helped take my mind off things.

I was unsure about ukulele, but I used to have a friend who played so I gave it a chance...and I was not disappointed. Great songs but much too short! Please record more! Thank you for sharing!

I thought before the singing started that I was listening to Cat Stevens! The guitar intro on the wonderful "I Want Out" sounds particularly like Cat Stevens. Very nice! Your vocals are solid and the music is very accomplished. I've included "I Want Out" on my online radio show number 3, track number 14, here: http://spencerwire.blogspot.com/2011/05/spencerwire-radio-third-edition.html

What a nice single ! I enjoyed the freshness of these recordings. The album notes explains all about the special mood behind the songs. Such intemporal moments are gifts. Perfect guitar play and singing. A great discovery. Thank you

A Great Two Days Work

"I want out" The distant ukulele and classically flowing acoustic Folk guitar carried a light and relaxed felling with it. The sound of the string combination reminded me of that of a flowing brook with the high toned plucked strings resembling the trickling droplets. The voice was absolutely perfect for the genre and was a delightful draw. The depth and emotion conveyed a sense of longing and even despair. God, that's so Folk and summed up well in the title of the piece. "Waiting for you" A more Ukulele fronted piece, with a heavy vocal stamp on the work. The smoothly moving sound will deeply moving vocals and simple backdrop was delivered to a superb style. I loved the idea of just sitting around and playing for a couple of days. I've possibly managed three or four hours before been called away to attend to something non-music related. I also never though of recording these session. This idea and the album have been an inspiration to me. I would have dropped the almost invisible synthesized backing on "I want out", but that's just my taste, others will love it. This is the perfect moody campfire set and a great two days work.

On a uke, no less... "I Want Out" has that same type of inner want of leaving that some get, especially in a small town. The recycling organ theme definately fit with this. The ending took a bit longer than usual, over 10-15 seconds... "Waiting For You" is simple in its content, but how many times have many of us thought the same of another. The story has a familiar ring that should resonate. Good listen, thanks.
