The last week has seen somewhat of a personal landmark for me. My intention to start writing songs, (regardless of whether they are any good) has been realized with the birth of my weekly songcast.
I made a promise to myself that I would publish the first song by New Year’s Day and that this time I would actually make good my promise, which I’m glad to say I did.
Why is this landmark? Well I have been a prolific composer of music for several years, but I was never able to come up with lyrics. I still find it incredibly hard, but I think I’ve got over the first hurdle of worrying if my lyrics are good or not and by caring less about that I have found that lyrics are coming more naturally than before. The result is that I have now published two brand-new songs. Not bad for 5 days.
It’s a rather personal project and runs at a bit of a tangent to my Online Music Production Service. I’m so glad I’ve finally had the nerve to do it. This is another landmark for me. In the past I would have shelved plans to do something like this out of fear of what others may think.

Congrats!
Good for you Rob. Belated New Year’s Greetings.
Thanks for the comments guys. Happy New year!
Song number 3 to be published this weekend. Eventually they will evolve into fully produced album tracks, so it ‘s a good way to test them out stripped bare with just vocal and acoustic guitar and have them available free for anyone to listen as they so wish.
Please feel free to spread the word!
You are song writer ?
