A blues I made last friday when I couldn’t sleep. The song is about accepting my personal past, which I see very important in becoming a father. Recording of this song includes two overdubs and took less than 10 minutes to finish.

This one took a bit longer to finish, mainly because lack of time to write proper lyrics. But this evening the words fell on their places, right or wrong.
Baby’s not yet born, but times are getting very exciting indeed! Whatever happens the next days, I hope I will somehow find time to finish (and record) the last 10 songs of my FAWM 2010. There are already sketches for about 8 new songs, so at least some of them should be hear soon!

My third song is a very simple, quiet song called Normal People. I played the mandolin, sang the lyrics and that’s quite much it.

I woke at 5:30 this morning to have some hours for music before leaving to work. At first this was supposed to be a blues, but it took a sudden turn and became something else…
My February Album documents the last weeks of my wife’s pregnancy – and maybe the first days of my child’s life. The baby is due on 26th, which is 22 days from now and only 2 days before FAWM ends!

I’m participating in this year’s FAWM – February Album Writing Month. Task is to write 14 songs in 28 days. I’ll be posting the songs online when they are ready. The first song is called February 26th. I’m going to be a father soon and the baby’s due date is the title of this song. The album that I’m going to write is about the last weeks (or days) of my wife’s pregnancy. Song by song this month will get more and more exciting!
February 26th – here you go!
