Songwriting

Day 204. Year of Queens. The DCK songwriting: try to say something true and heartbroken and easy to understand and do it in a way that is also catchy and has hooks. It’s a bonus if it’s also a drinking song.

Year of Queens. Day 205. It’s icy and cold and dark - the perfect night for a band practice….

Day 206. We’re being played on Russian radio… why not?

Year of Queen. Day 207. Back on the lower end on the Euro Indie Charts….

Year of Queens. Day 208. We have some shows coming up and we also plan to go back in the studio this spring. I’m already excited by what that will look like and what 10 tracks the band wants to record…

Year of Queens. Day 209. 10 songs for an album. @kevin.moloney.music said - you need to have 10 songs for that classic album length to fit on vinyl. I like 10 songs - because then we’re recording the greatest hits of the last year - and those songs that don’t make it are our pathway, our promise to a future recording.

Year of Queens. Day 210. This is what I mean by DCK seems like a story, like turning another page… I don’t know what songs we’ll record. I don’t know what will happen in the practice space. I don’t know what will happen in the studio. But I want to turn the next page and read the next part of this story…

If we’re winning we’re winning - if we’re losing we’re free!

Day 211. Year of Queens. All I know is that music quiets the chattering voice in my head, it makes me dance, it makes me laugh out loud, it makes my heart race, it makes me sweat, it makes me feel heartbreak.

Happy Birthday 2ya laddie!!!❣️🥳❣️ Slainte ye fine boyo!!☘️🍻☘️
(There’s only one person we know could put it that eloquently - and Irish-ly.
Thank you Kevin Moloney!)
