EP50: The Rolling 'R' Gene (Music | Songwriting)

The Weekly Song Podcast is back with another episode of writing
songs from scratch! This week Declan has written the upbeat,
arabian riff-based song 'I'm Only Off Cause I'm Paid To Be On', a
piece which was built from an initial melody into a riff and then
expanded with stream of consiousness lyrics. Roger brings the song
'Magic Happens' to the show, explaining the use of non-diatonic
chords and using happy sounding in conjuction with sadder lyrics.
