Six Months Later....

So we've been completely blog-silent since May!
We've still been very busy graduating, working, moving house, eating, drinking, recording, writing, networking, nerdworking, singing and darrrncing. It's just unfortunate that none of these terribly exciting events made it onto this page.
However, now that I am settled and can has internet again, I'll be starting a song a day up again, hopefully with a similar regularity to what we produced initially. Additionally, I'm going to intersperse these musical whimsies with written blogs about how we're getting on poking our feet into what we hope will be appropriate doors. Sometimes these doors will be profitable, useful, insightful, and sometimes they will be slammed on our poor musical toes.

I feel perhaps I haven't had enough coffee to start me up this morning, but never mind; there is the gist! More music! And more writings! ....Probably a similar level of inanity and nonsense in both.

Bye :D

#14: Suits Me Fine

So.... I don't think James has been putting his songs up here! Anyway, this is song #14, a short little ditty about nothing in particular, just being content and less terrified of impending old age than I used to be. Yes, the ukulele is out of tune. But no, I can not fix it apparently.

We'll still hold hands when we're eighty, but we might not wrestle in bed
I'll bring you your tea on a tray hey, and make sure you're always well fed
You'll cuddle into me, and fall asleep, like every night
This is our life, and it suits me fine
This is our life, and it suits me........fine.

Fear - Mark Two! #13

This is an electro/bassy kind of mix I started today as part of a thing for uni. It's the same video essentially, but mushed up. I like the backing so far; I like how exactly the same melody can turn from this soft "la la la" girl voice into a pretty dirty sounding piece. I may even mean durrty. I might carry it on into a full song after uni.

*strokes beard*

PS I wrote this at about 2am in my head, where I do all my best work. Then in the morning, I'd forgotten the melody, so I made up a different one. The head one was better, but this will have to do.
