The two CD albums I am trying to organise will have the ‘four seasons’ format.

If it were vinyl? Ideal for a season on each side of the two albums. Vinyl, due to the expense of production, can never be an option.

So CD format it is.

CD One will be Spring to Summer.

CD Two will be Autumn to Winter.

The whole concept is still under the working title called ‘Frail Autumn’.

Yesterday the blog had two videos on it. Stop this Heartache and Move into the Rhythm of Lies. I am seriously thinking of changing the latter to Move into the Rhythm of Life. That was its original intended title to begin with anyway. So three songs of this nature of songs appropriate to my younger self will sit nicely in the CD One collection.

So songs lyrically relevant to my early years can be a nice collective. Year One, Stop this Heartache, Move into the Rhythm of Life, Audience, Trust Me, Eddie just loves to dance, and others already recorded, can be CD One inclusions. Spring to Summer of Youth and middle age.

Songs like Old Man, Faded Walls, November, the Stereo and You….my Friend, 18 years was 50 years ago, Why in the World, There She Goes, and others can be on the CD Two inclusions. Autumn to Winter of life.

It’s just a case now of spending a few days on each song messing about remixing and polishing them up. Many songs recorded have no bass guitar playing in them either. A need to rectify that is paramount. The ones with bass sound nicer in the bottom end. I was a bass player after all. So it would be wrong to not include my roots. The song below? It cry’s out for a bass line. I have written one and it fits very nicely. So will be working it in later down the line. Some lead guitar would suit too.

There are quite a few songs finished now. They just sound muddy at times. So it will be an ambition to get them clean, bright and listenable. I’d love someone to appear who knew what they were doing regards this skill. Engineer or producer skills.

New songs are developing nicely too. Lyrics are fully forming bit by bit. But of course, the songs seem to be more mellow too. Get older and you tread more softly.

Here’s the kind of sounds that will be brought into new songs.

One more: This is how songs develop. Rough beginnings for new ideas.

Once the intentional 100 edition number of CDs are done and dusted and the art work for a CD cover and lyrics booklet are complete, I can give them away to family and friends. A way to say thank you for peoples’ generosity of good vibes and support over decades.
