Hi! I’m still feeling mesmerised by the psychedelic performance by Oasis at Wembley of ‘I Am The Walrus’! What an incredible song by The Beatles and what an amazing cover by Oasis!
As the launch of the first single (music authorities have determined this will be ‘Just Listen! Check it out on my widget (please see my previous blog post!) nears and I’m out here enjoying the sun in
The Songs:
I wrote the 14 songs on the album over 15 years more or less in this order (although some songs were on the go at the same time): I Needed You, For You, Here We Go, Ride Your Bike, Why Did I, Breaking The Rules, Break Your Heart, We Will Find A Way, Just Listen, Just A Kiss, Weaker Side Of Me, My Friend, Do Da Dee Da, Why Do You Hate Me.
The last eight I wrote in the last 3 years when I returned to music full time. Of all the songs I wrote, about one third made the final cut to go on my album. Initially we were thinking of having 12 songs on there but we just couldn’t decide which two we were going to cut!
On Writing:
Writing for me is the most incredible experience… it is the most intense and fulfilling process. I can spend weeks not writing a note or a word and then all of a sudden, I’ll find myself gravitating towards the piano and I’ll lose myself for hours there going through a rainbow of emotions, sometimes sobbing, sometimes feeling as gleeful as a kid, angry, lustful, hopeless, powerful, then eventually, empty. But in a good way. Like I poured all this stuff that was inside me of me out and I feel calm and rooted. I often feel like my emotions act like a lightening rod which is catching all these bits of energy that are flying around in the form of notes and words that I then have to reorder into songs
Enough for now. I’d love to answer any questions on my songs or the process of writing them so ask away!
Love and kisses
Odette X
