My dad used to play the beginning riff of this song when he could still play guitar. I've always wanted to do something with it. The message in this song is to stay positive even in times of turmoil. And that it is ok to do nice things for others…

Sung by my wonderful daughter Alexandria.

Light, Jazzy and a bit prog in places... I had the season of summer in my mind when I did this one

The piano melody was in my head so I committed it to the voice recorder on my phone - the rest of the song was built around it

This was a problem child.. The other tracks fell together quickly but this was a slow burn. The chorus is far more uplifting than the verse - which reminds me of a melancholy hybrid of 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' and the outro to the 70s British…

Another one driven by several bass riffs I had in my head - The vibe in places reminds of 'Witchita Lineman'!

All born from a bass riff that just fell from my fingers whilst practising one evening

A quite 'straight ahead' rock feel to this at the beginning. The Rickenfaker bass has a lovely fat sound to it... Then it gets anthem-like from 2:45 onwards
