Well, I've now completed my 'finish your damn song' blog series, complete with a full worked example at the end, and you can find the full series here:

I hope some of it is of use to some of you.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays all!
As well as keeping on top of my blog series on finishing your songs, I've also managed to actually get some music done recently. I appear to be inadvertently three songs into the next EP so it's definitely time to get a single out and put some additional and unnecessary pressure on myself to do the rest of the work.
For some reason Blogger is not letting me add a link to the image below so here's the URL instead: https://ditto.fm/years-drew-stephenson
I am pretty terrible at self-promotion.
I really should have mentioned a week ago that I've started another blog series focused on helping people take those scraps and ideas and turn them into finished songs.
It's called Rough to Release and you can find the first entry (and subsequent ones) here: https://roughtorelease.blogspot.com/2024/08/the-pitch-taking-your-song-writing-from.html
Well despite an erroneous copyright claim from a certain major label, we are still on for our launch of 26th April.
And to celebrate this momentous occasion we're having a virtual launch party on youtube.
So at the prescribed time of 8pm (BST) simply click the link above and it'll take you to a page where we'll listen through the album together, I'll talk a little bit about the songs and the creation process, and you'll be able to ask any questions or make any comments. Rude as you like. ;¬)
