Writing a song a week for 12 weeks

At the start of 2021, I set out to write and record a song a week for the whole year. I managed to keep it up for three months – cranking out 12 songs! – before falling off the wagon.

This year’s turned out to be a little more complicated than I thought. I started a new job in January then left after two months because it was making me ill. With everything going haywire, I’m putting this songwriting exercise on pause for a few months.

If you haven’t checked out the songs yet, here are three of my faves.

Good Man

Can’t get enough of that opening keys sound.

Luke Leighfield · Good Man

Alone

A sad pop banger about feeling lonely.

Luke Leighfield · Alone

Best Dog in the World

I wasn’t convinced that a love song about a dog would work. But I think it mostly did?
