Fool's Luck

Last night i finally finished working on some lyrics what i started on october last year. Writing lyrics for me always takes ages because i'm never happy with what i write to be honest and knowing me i'll probably change them again haha

So today i started trying to fool about with some chords for a versus for the lyrics and that process often takes ages! But somehow I found something I like! I'm going for a mellow wah sound vibe on my guitar. I quite like it so yay!

Summer Plans

Well, I've been quite lately but i have been working on stuff just slow progress to be honest. 

Now I've been back home i have been getting vocal lessons weekly because i want to be able to start singing my songs which would be good. I'm enjoying my lessons it's helping my confidence and it's good fun.

I am working on a song at the minute called 'PIECES' i've got the lyrics done and the basic frame work but i would like to get a fall band set up of it when i'm back at falmouth.

Yeah thats it at the minute haha

Hope people have an ace summer :)
