Written & recorded for FAWM 2022 (excuse the bad recording, done in a very hot motorhome at a noisey campground).

It's been a strange couple of years, this song's about staying positive and letting bad times flow past you.

Leap Year

About self care,  and not throwing in the towel... people love you.
I needed some of this positivity recording this, as I ultimately wished I hadn't of made it so long and wordy!

Launrdy Day

This one's a bit soppy... It's in about of my Mum, who spent a ridiculous amount of time planning, thinking about, and working on her garden. I never got this as a kid, but lately I have started to appreciate a nice garden. I think i'm getting old!

Your Thing With Gardens

Song 6 of 14 done. This isn't my favourite, but i'm glad it's finished. I was rushing pretty fast as it was super hot recording in the motorhome and I wanted to get into the pool :)

Braybrook Caravan Park

Song#7 for FAWM. Sometimes when something doesn't go how you expect, it can feel like the end of the world (and keep you up at night). This song is about remembering to remember you will be fine.

Remember When I Broke Our Car

Inspired by a bunch of birthdays, this song is a fictional reflection on those thoughts that undoubtedly take place at that time of year.

The Birthday Song

Don't Let No Rock Fuck With Your Roll

Struggling for inspiration for song 10, I did something different with a spoke word verse. It's about memories that come out of the blue... actually, you'll find out as I tell you in the song!
Buckets of background/road noise from the caravan park i'm staying at (some birdsong is real, some is augmented!)

Out Of Blue Remembers

Ah not too happy with this one, I like the song, but the production was hard work in such a rush (but oh well, that's FAWM for ya).

We Were Happy And Then We Met

A bit unlike me to be political, but this is what came out of me for song #12 in FAWM.

Call The Operator (get the number for upstairs)

A little blues song about living in a motorhome for the last 4 months.

Wheel City Blues

Final song of FAWM 2022... a meta song about why we do such things (like FAWM). There is no answer, it's a journey in and of itself. Done!

Why Do We This Do Ourselves
