The latest single from Dave Saigh (say). This is a contemplation on taking a new step forward in a world of challenges and difficulties.
"A New Breath" is a 2025 winter reflection on going forward through adversity.

If you're watching, you know. If not, stay away from the elevator.
It has a certain appeal
Disconnecting from half of your life
Getting through the day by forgetting who you are
No need to find a way
Not remembering all that went wrong…

Straw can be light and golden yellow
Is often used to stuff our pillows
Straw is the hay you see in the fields
All those hay bales give good feels
The scarecrow of Oz was made of straw

Verse 1:
I woke up with a feeling deep down in my soul,
The world keeps on turning, but it’s out of control.
Storm clouds are rising, you can hear the thunder roll,
But I know my Saviour’s in control.

A bit of Frankenstein of a song, lyrics cobbled from old lyric fragments, with variations on bass and melody and piano motifs, like I couldn't make my mind up where it was heading. Something about it, so has made the cut!

The song's about betrayal: about mixing with the wrong crowd, who then drop you from a great height. It's a love song. Maybe I should find a twee skirmish instead of relying on that Muse.

TL;DR: it's got percussion in it.
I had an idea for percussion-heavy song: that I found tough to articulate because it's not a usual thing for me. More practice required.

Hmm. The trigger was to use a random Wikipedia page [via https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random ] -- it gave me a 1990s Brazilian film I'd never heard of. Although it sparked a song, the verses that more obviously related to the film got…

If I'm being kind to myself, I'll say that I wrote this in a "through-composed" style. Truth is it probably required another verse etc., to nudge the song's story along and provide some semblance of structure. Instead, I was enjoying myself adding…
