Dare Not You (demo, 2011)

about

Giving you a little bit of a look behind the curtain with this one. It's a very raw demo that was meant for no-one's ears but mine, but I feel like it's a nice look at my usual writing process. Playing and singing until an idea shows its head, then recording, listening back and playing and singing over the top and seeing where the focus coalesces.

The more the ideas get worked through the more the form becomes clearer, but I so often find it's these original demos where the ideas are first appearing that are my favourites. This one's from 2011, has gone through a few drafts, but didn't yet find its final form. It's called Dare Not You here, but these days it's in an unfinished drawer in the filing cabinet in my brain under the name "Brazenly"
