So I bid farewell to the 90 days of absolute songwriting madness last Wednesday. It was sad, to be honest. I've had a fantastic time. I've written a ton of new songs, I've collaborated with some amazing people and I've grown as a songwriter - well, at least I think I have. I don't think you're supposed to stop growing, so this is probably a Very Good Thing. I have managed to write about all sorts of things this time around - life, love, friendship, loss... not to mention the silly things like cute guys filling up gas bottles, allegedly drunken pilots, hair cuts gone wrong and, of course, Dick Hubbard's secret identity (not so secret anymore, huh?) It has been a blast. I can't wait for FAWM where the madness recommences :)
In the meantime, though, I have heaps to do. Rocktober is a Dan Wallbank invention, and a change to keep up the recording. 15 covers. If you head to this site here, you will find my Rocktober contributions. So far I have covered "Toxic" by Britney Spears (thanks to Louise, who insisted I do something by Britney... well, it was the lesser of many evils presented to me) and "Maps" by Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Personally, Yeah Yeah Yeahs > Britney any day of the week, but I am pretty proud of both versions so far. Upcoming plans for songs include a little Arcade Fire, a little The Killers, possibly a little Sam Phillips and maybe, just maybe some Metallica for my brother. Watch this space,
Rocking out,
Rose
