Let's talk about songs
I promised to talk about the songs themselves this week so here goes.
The first to talk about are those which we’ve already played live. These are Hook in My Heart, for which you can grab a video on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nu89TxqFRZA. Do you like the hat I’m wearing in the video? I’ve taken some stick for that. It’s supposed to make me look like Indiana Jones and some people have accused it of covering a bald head (which it doesn’t!).
The video was filmed by John Wheeler and Tarquin Sutherland of Big Video Productions in the grounds of Alexandra Palace in London last November. Fun to make, and John and T are good people to work with too.
Anyway, Hook has always sounded good live at about a million miles an hour, so I think a faster version of the song may end up on the new album.
The next song to consider is a song called Question of Love, which appears on the Hook EP that we’ve recently released through Turmic Records (http://www.emusic.com/artist/Sharp-Practise-MP3-Download/11680471.html). Again, we’ll remake this recording although I’m pretty content with the arrangement of the song as it stands.
The last song I want to mention today is a song called Season of the Rose. You can get an Americana version of this song on my solo album that Fran Ashcroft produced (http://dittomusic.dloadshop.com/artists.asp?martist=188&gid=) and it also works really well when you put it into a rock arrangement with the full band behind it. So that’s definitely a track worth developing.
Next time I’ll discuss more of the songs that I’m considering for the album. Bye for now.
