Right then...I've begun the 3rd album (the follow-up to 'Speak For Yourself'). I'm going to write a more frequent blog as I did with the last one so you can keep an eye on me and make sure I'm not slacking! I wonder how it's gonna turn out? How exciting! You're very welcome to comment but please don't ask me questions on here or i'll never get any work done. You can email me with any questions you have and every month we'll pick 20 from the virtual 'hat' and post them. Send your questions to: [email protected]

Much much more to come! Love, fluv x i x Wheeeeee!!!

first entry!...sounds a bit rude!

where to start!

er...so much to say.. so little patience to write it all down. Hello? I think i'm just gonna pretend like i've been doing this diary thing forever and this is just another day...otherwise i'll be here all night filling you in! am i aloud to swear? how much of the day should I mention? what I ate? a high carb take out if you're interested. The quickest thing i could get...because today has been a GOOD day in the studio of her heapness and i didn't want to let any lyrics go by in my head unnoticed. See that's what i've been doing specifically. Lyrics for a song called "the moment i said it". I came up with that line about two months ago and the melody to match...that's, most times, the best part of songwriting. The initial inspiration. The other best part is finishing it! Inbetwen can take months and months sometimes well not years...give me time though! My..it's hot in this little room...(the vocal booth. I have my internet monitor in here so i don't stay on it all day!) anyway. The annoying side of the day is that all the piano I had so beautifully recorded very late one night when all the trains had stopped passing the studio (un double glazed) windows are unfortunately now in the wrong key..the verse sounds better a tone down...never mind...at least i've figured that out now. I have hardly put any piano on these songs at all. So to make up for it, i am going to make this song entirely piano based...though it may not sound like it. Playing parts of a piano that even it didn't realize it had! So with plug-ins and a a lot of binary chewing up of audio it will have all the mod cons. Quite excited about the limitation of only using the one instrument (not counting His Royal temperamentalness, the computer). Sometimes having access to all sounds, all music, all lyrics, all the gear you need leads to a lot of indecision. So there we go. Should i write lyrics here? mmmm...can't hurt. That way i guess i won't be tempted to over think them, which I am prone to do...

the moment i said it
the moment i opened my mouth
led in your eyelids
Bulldozed the life out of me
I know what you're thinking
But darling you're not thinking straight.
Sadly things just happen we can't explain.

It's not even light out
But you've somewhere to be
No i've never seen you like this
I don't like it, i don't like it, i don't like it at all.

Put back the car keys
Or somebody's gonna get hurt
Who are calling at this hour?
Sit down, come round, I need you now

We'll work it all out together
But we're getting nowhere tonight.
Now sleep, I promise it'll all seem better somehow, in time

m8...something about plates smashing??

They sound a lot better sung! I am not a poet...

Well that was more than i intended to write.
Gotta fly now.

love love
