Running order for the new album
My topic this time is running order and guide tracks.
I’m pretty keen on getting the right flow to the new album. We’ll kick it off with Hook In My Heart – it’s a song we’ve played live, already made a video for and has some success with in that it’s reached number 37 on the UK's original weekly unsigned chart.
Next up will be another song we’ve played live, Question of Love, so we keep that recognisable rock edge to the start of the album before we branch out a little. We’ll go via Nothing Is More, which is more a travelling band kind of song, and My Revolution, which is an acoustic style track to Monsoon Rain, which is the nearest we’ll get to world music in a prog rock sort of way. Thinking about it, I’d quite like My Revolution to segue into Monsoon Rain.
We’ll put the ballad Girls Don’t Look in next I think, then I want us to go all jangly guitar on Bring On The Summer, moving through a more British sounding I Will Decide to the fast acoustic bitterness of Screw The Earth.
We’ll bring the album home with the anthemic Sound Of Rock, followed by the lush strings of the rock ballad As I’ve Come To Know and finishing with a bouncy version of Season Of The Rose, another song we’ve been playing live.
So, now it’s time to take this plan to the band, and the rehearsal room, and try it out to see if it works!
I’ll update you on this next time.
