New Material (Part 1)

As I always write from song titles, always have done, here's a selection I'll be working on :-

Where Is The Laughter - already written and rough demoed. Just need to refine it.
Misty Mountain - working title, no shortage of inspiration around where I live
Rat On A Wheel - thoughts of how people spend too much time working and not enough living.
Freakshow - how the internet has bred a generation of people looking for more and more freakish things, much like Victorian freakshows.
Night Perfume - inspired by walks at night with dogs where the faintest whiffs of perfume are caught on the air. Are they night scented flowers or are they ladies retiring for the night wearing nothing but Chanel and a smile!
The Source - The source of all true power lies within us. We need to embrace this, culture it and use it...

More to come as I think of themes... Probably about another 2 needed.

One thing I've learned very recently from Hugh Carter is that songs don't need a constant "crash boom bang" from start to finish and that the simple structures are sometimes the most beautiful.
