#MondayMood 03:56
Monday Mood I thought I’d have a little bit of fun today 7 songs, written in seven days I don’t know why, it’s just my Monday Mood So, let’s try, a little bit of this today I don't know what it is that I want to say But I just like the way this chord progression moves And I guess this is where I put the chorus But I don’t know what it is I want to say, But this is where I put the chorus Something about my Monday Mood So now I am back in this sequence Still don’t know what it is I want to say It seems all I am doing is going with the flow I need to work out what this song with say It can’t be about what I’m doing today Or can it? And I guess this is where I put the chorus But I don’t know what it is I want to say, But this is where I put the chorus Something about my Monday Mood Let’s have a solo And I guess this is where I put the chorus But I don’t know what it is I want to say, But this is where I put the chorus something about my Monday Mood And now I feel I need to Move over here, I need to play over here, are you with me? Don't know why it just feels nice over here Let’s try over here, are you with me? Monday mood, Monday mood Not Tuesday or Wednesday, not Thursday or Friday Not Saturday or Sunday…it’s Monday! My Monday mood. Now I need to find some kind of ending An outro where I do something like this, something like this. And then I move all around until it feels right, Move all around and wait for it to feel right and then I just stop.

The Choices You Made They say one day it’ll all make sense to you. The choices you made and the path you followed. Reflecting back on the life you chose to lead. The things you did and the things you shouldn’t’ have done Nobody told you. Nobody told you – you followed your heart. You look back and see yourself and you wonder why you did the things you did. But the choices you made; they sit with you. Nobody told you. Nobody told you – you followed your heart. You look back and see yourself and you wonder why you did the things you did. But the choices you made; they sit with you. They sit with you.

How I’m Supposed to Feel Every day there’s something new to do, something new to feel. These changing times, sometimes blow my mind, I don’t know what to do I want to hide away, I want to open the door, Want to see some change Just tell me now how I’m supposed to feel, Just tell me now ‘cause I don't know Sometimes I feel like it’s all ok, but then it’s all just kind of grey I just keep ploughing through My mind just won’t keep still, there’s so many things to do Will it ever stop? It’s exciting and it’s fun, it’s exhausting and it’s hard But we all do our thing Just tell me now how I’m supposed to feel, Just tell me now ‘cause I don't know You wake up and you feel that you can take on the world. But then the next day or even moment it just feels so far away. But you know you can find the strength to move on if you try. But then you question that strength, can you really find the energy? Just tell me now how I’m supposed to feel, Just tell me now ‘cause I don't know Tell me now how I’m supposed to feel, Just tell me now ‘cause I don't know Just tell me now how I’m supposed to feel, Just tell me now ‘cause I don't know

Time To Breathe I took time to breathe. I took to time to reflect upon the constant noise around me. I took to think. I took time to enjoy some space and calm and try to find the me. Every day there is something to do, in my mind. I can’t do it all, there is only one me and I know what people will say… Take time to breathe. Take time to remember why it is you do the things you do. Take time to think. Take time to allow yourself to be the best that you can be. It’s always non stop and there’s never a right time to pause. We all find excuses and know that we must find the time to breathe. Take time to breathe. Take time to remember why it is you do the things you do. Take time to think. Take time to enjoy some space and calm and find you Take time to breathe. Take time to breathe. Take time to breathe. Take time to breathe.

about

7 Songs in 7 days is exactly that! Each time I work on album, I seem to get bigger and bigger with the instrumentation and having just finished my ‘Red Flags and High Heels’ album, my head is already full of big brass sections and string orchestras. So, I wanted to pull myself back a bit before I started and I tasked myself with writing seven songs over seven days, all acoustic – simple, straightforward and nothing fancy. I wanted to sort of go back to my song writing roots, just me and my piano. So, I sat down on a Monday and wrote a track each day for a week and the result is this album, a week in my songwriting head.

At the beginning, I had some musical ideas but didn’t know what I wanted to say, but by Wednesday I seem to find some lyrics and thoughts. I tweet quite a bit and always start the day with a good morning tweet with an appropriate hashtag, so I have mapped each song to a twitter hashtag, ones I use all the time, just for fun as this album really is just about how I was feeling at the time, on each day.

Some of these songs will appear in my next full band album, so some people might find it interesting to see how some of my songs develop. I hope you enjoy!
