Welcome to week 3, with a new song titled simply, ‘Trying’.

This one was begun a few months ago, when all I had was the very simple verse/chorus guitar line with the plucked harmonics, and a sort-of melody. All very quiet and laid back. Which is somewhat unsual for me. I liked it though; it felt spacious.

I also hope you dig the electro drum beat on an otherwise mellow tune – a first for me! I enjoyed putting it on there, I have to say. There’s something good about having a quiet, chilled song but getting it rolling along with a decent punchy beat.

‘Trying’ is about that first moment of feeling the tingle of seductive connection fizzing through the air, and gently trying to nurture it to make beautiful things happen. Like love. Or sex. Or, if the mix is just right, both.

See you next week.
