The Song Society

Playlist • 20 tracks(s) • 414K views

I love learning other people’s songs. I find it teaches me a whole lot about songwriting which is particularly inspirational when I’m writing a new album (which is what I am doing NOW!) This time I thought I’d film and record it for you all to check it out and start an official Song Society. The songs I will be doing will be learnt and performed live, warts and all within an hour. These are NOT definitive reconstructions, just a window in to my own education! As the process develops we could vote on what the next song will be if you like? Maybe you’ve recorded you’re own version of this song and share it with us all and let’s discuss what makes these songs great. Here are the rules (made, of course, to be broken). The Song Society 1. Find a song you love or are fascinated by.  2. Learn and record live within the hour.  3. No previous preparation allowed.  4. Love and live with the mistakes.  Jx
