Many songwriters talk about Summer as the times they feel good and Winter as the time they feel down. I reverse the roles in this song and describe depression as "my life, is melting away like the snow in the sun". To get my life back on an even keel, I suggest "my life, waits for a snowfall to fill it again". It may not lyrical follow the norm, but it presented a strong picture in my mind during the writing process. Enjoy all the instruments I packed in around the lyric to convey my thoughts at the time. Enjoy!!

Ever wondered what it felt like to be a private investigator in the 1950's. Well this track takes the story directly from the mouth of a "Gumshoe, PI, Dick". Why not jump over to YouTube and see the film clip I made for this song?

RRR Interview Richard Watts 30 11 23

I started off learning piano at around 6 years old, but only realised my ear for music when I could pick out melodies I heard on the radio & from then on I started writing my own music & playing long into the night, to the point where my parents told me to stop so they could go to sleep!
In my teenage years I joined bands & learnt basically on the fly how to work as a group. Once I realised that keyboards were not as portable & able to be played on beaches / around campfires, I taught myself guitar. By adding drums, harmonica & bass to my arsenal, the stage was set for a fully working band to record in my garage. Since setting up my home studio, I love recording a tune each week & especially love collaborating with all the extremely talented musicians on soundcloud. I'm a full time musician, with many different hats in the music community. Including songwriter, composer, live musician & blog writer.
