I've been pondering the mediocrity of our song writing for a while, I've always wanted to do stuff that's more intense, like the Kills for example, but I guess the musicians you get together define the music you make; a jazz drummer, a soul singer and a quiet, shy bassist don't make for in your face music. Sigh.... I'm going to go home and write my own stuff in the vain hope that I meet some more musicians soon that I can work with in another capacity 🙁
In fairness I think it is Bitter the Old is an excellent track. Just playing it a second time now.
Originally posted by Starrmani'm good friends with a jazz drummer-he's mildly insanely brilliant. waaaay out of my league as a musician. although he attends the free church and is studying for a theology degree so i don't think he's in any hurry to make in your face music either. 🙂

Found another folkie, clanfolk. His friends include Billy Bragg.
His song, Holiday of the first bell, about the attack on the Russian
school where so many children died may be a bit too intense for
most people but it is a very good song.
