Well here we are at week 2 of 52! All I can say is whoah. Quite a way to go. Scared shyteless. And excited. Fun combo, I can tell you.

This week was interesting – ‘Burning Up’ was mostly written in one of those half-an-hour flurries, just on Saturday. Then I finished it on Sunday (yesterday) and went straight to the “studio” (read: bedroom) and laid it down. Super fresh.

It’s a quiet song, no beats, just guitar and voice; kind of spacious. I think it’s a bit pretty.

It’s about coming back to earth from space, but maybe things aren’t going right, maybe all you’ve got left is hope. Or, perhaps, it’s about those who keep on holding on and hoping, when maybe they should let go. Before they disappear entirely.

But maybe they’re still burning up.

See what you think.

Welcome to 52 Songs. A music project for 2013.

Let’s not mess around, my friends – today brings the very first of a year’s worth of weekly new songs.

It’s a new and seriously frightening way for a whole bunch of unfinished and new songs to be let out to roam free on the interwebs. I can’t wait! For more info on the whole idea, check out the About page.

This particular song is about… actually, wait. For this one, I’d say the title is pretty self-explanatory. Ah, love.

Without further ado, let the mayhem begin. Click and enjoy.
