52 Songs in 52 weeks | Sep '23 to Aug '24 |

| Jon Bee | Five-Two Project |

First track of the Five-Two 'Songs on a Sunday' Project.

All About Love

A tricky subject this one. It's a hopeful love song but with a cloudiness of memory loss in there. Hard to see when you see it. Tough to feel when you feel it.

#stillfindhome #stillfoundlove

I do love me an Udu drum though. Oosh!

Still Find Home

"Breathing"... a funny little lyric from my perspective. It's quite literal - remembering that middle of the night dreams.

Breathing

A fun song about the most Beautiful Girls - Faith, Hope, Grace and Aroha (love, care, compassion - translated from Te Reo Maori).

Beautiful Girls

Can You See? is the fifth track from Five Two - Songs on a Sunday. 52 songs in 52 weeks. 

Really straightforward this week - stripped back - one guitar, drums and an acoustic bass. No backing vocals - didn't think it needed anything else. The song can be the hero this week - enjoy!

Can You See?

One Step More is track number 8 from my Project 52 - Songs on a Sunday: 52 Songs in 52 weeks.

This one came easily - the journey of people close by... and of taking deliberate steps to things of faith, hope and love... so many twists and turns in this thing called life.

One Step More

Good Feelings is Track 9 from my Project 52 - Songs on a Sunday - 52 songs in 52 weeks. 

My favourite to record so far - lyrics came real quick - I like this format of writing and delivery; it's easy to think and write in short phrases, and unlinked statements still work if ideas are not workable over multiple lines.

What's it about? You can choose - there's so much depth for me but it's also, in part, just a surface level country pop tune. Taylor could sing it maybe. I'm open to offers ;-)

Good Feelings

Small Life Town is track 11 from my Project Five Two, 52 songs in 52 weeks.

No guitars used this week. Loved it. 

Tune is a mix of feelings, emotions and experiences. Enjoy!

Complication maker is track 18 from my Five Two Project - 52 songs in 52 weeks written, recorded and released. This one was all-in-a-day. Another journeyman song... it's a rich tapestry, this thing called life! Keep doing it as well as you can with good people.

Mesmerise is Track 19 from my Five Two Project - 52 songs in 52 weeks written, recorded and released.
Little change of genre here into pop-disco. Loved writing it and fun to record.
Enjoy!

Take Me Higher is track 22 from my Five Two Project. 52 songs in 52 weeks written, recorded and released. Good persistence on this one and a few refinement collaborations. Cheers to mr Matt Soong - Honeyshape Production - love the half-time suggestion in the Take Me Higher refrain. So good!

Enjoy!

Take Me Higher

Stay Strong is track 43 from my Five Two Project - 52 songs in 52 weeks written, recorded and released. 

This one uses a lyric that's been a live tune in a recently retired original project - Truly Made - we didn't ever record it so I've recycled the lyric here... it's about using the things around us to gain perspective to carry on.

Enjoy!

Stay Strong

Miles and Miles is track 44 from my Five Two Project - 52 songs in 52 weeks. 

This one is probably my favourite of recent months. Loved the writing process. The lyric "...don't need a sunshine destination..." says it all - that's it. The do-anything or do nothing of spending time with people. Time is the most you can give. Do it!

Enjoy!

Miles And Miles

Table for One is track 45 from my Five Two Project - 52 songs in 52 weeks written, recorded and released.

It's quirky and upbeat on the surface, but it's a feeler for me. Awesome to write, play and produce - fun, and got some demons exorcised... and a couple just exercised  :-) ... ooh, that could be another lyric!

Enjoy!

Table For One

What I Find is track 46 from my Five Two project -52 songs in 52 weeks written, recorded and released.

The rhetoric for this one came quickly... took a while to get the lyrics sorted, more than most of these tunes have taken, but feel like I got it to mostly work to be releasable. 

How good is heavy reverb and delay on violin? So good, that is how good!!

Enjoy!

What I Find

Queen of Fools is track 47 from my Five Two Project - 52 songs in 52 weeks written, recorded and released.

Enjoy!

Queen of Fools

Tune in to Cheers is track 48 from my Five Two Project.

It's a celebration of being allowed to be good at things. One for the tall poppy people of the world. Stand tall - tune in to the "cheers to you" from wherever it comes from!

Enjoy!

Tune In To Cheers

Beautiful Days is Track 49 from my Five Two Project - 52 songs in 52 days written, recorded and released.
This one came from a darker space than some - perhaps 'upbeat-melancholy' is a useable phrase to describe the content.
Be excellent to each other!
Enjoy!

Beautiful Days

Double or Nothing is track 50 from my Five Two project - 52 songs in 52 weeks - written, recorded and released.

Appropriate this one was released during the Olympics. A Marathon to get this one sorted - the toughest week yet.

Peace!

Double Or Nothing

Maybe I was Made is Track 51 from my Five Two Project - 52 songs in 52 weeks written, recorded and released. One to go!!
Another fun one that I thought might suit a guitar solo - didn't really sit well so keys it is. Good old Doctor Who type synths. Love it!
Enjoy.

Maybe I Was Made

Last Song is track 52 from my Five Two Project - 52 songs in 52 weeks written, recorded and released. That's it - project done. 

Whatever it is you're doing... always think - love, love, love, love!

Enjoy!
