Studio copy: I wrote this ballad last summer about matters close to my heart. I had the melody and lyrics and a concept of what I wanted the backing to sound like... Ant Dickenson helped me recreate what was going on in my head for this soulful raw unfinished version. It only has 2 verses, bridge and chorus in this bit... the backing vocals and ending was never added in. I'd like to finally get around to getting this laid down properly and mastered sometime in the future. But here is a sample just to give you guys an idea "where I was at" with it :)

"The Last Straw" - Jordan Lea (Original/Incomplete Studio Draft)

For one of my University projects I had to create a mayoral campaign for a famous person. I chose to make that campaign for recording artist 'DUFFY' and with that sought to produce a 'radio intended jingle' in a mock process to create votes and awareness. Here is my first try at recording and singing this song with the original words before I changed them to suit the campaign.

Syrup and Honey (Stripped/unplugged/rough draft)

First attempt in a live and unplugged recording with the lyrics for the mock campaign. Sung with the intended style of 'Duffy'.
