After a period of writing songs on keyboard - believe it or not, Cheater was written on a keyboard even though it ended up being a guitar driven song - I decided to have a go at writing a song on acoustic guitar and it felt very liberating!

I wouldn’t say it’s more exciting to write on acoustic guitar per se, I think the energy was coming from the fact I had been writing on the same instrument for too long.

It’s too easy to get stuck into habits when writing songs and it’s good to break those habits by constantly switching your songwriting instrument - at least, this is my current belief!

For all I know, this new song (currently titled Life on discount) might end up being a song with no guitar on it at the end!
