Welcome to My Songwriting Journal

Hi, I’m Andrew—a songwriter, a guitarist, and someone who’s always found it easier to sing what I feel than to write it down.

I started writing songs when I was 13 or 14, not long after getting my first guitar—a beautiful classical guitar that still means a lot to me. I taught myself to play using the complete Beatles songbook, learning chord by chord, line by line. Once I had a few shapes under my fingers, I started borrowing chord progressions and adding my own lyrics.

What began as imitation slowly turned into something of my own. I built up a little bank of chords, and with them came songs—songs that said things I didn’t know how to write in a diary or say out loud. Over time, songwriting became my way of reflecting, processing, remembering.

The oldest song I can remember writing is Sing High, a simple love song I wrote for my girlfriend. It’s not flashy, but I still like it. It’s honest. No fuss. You can even find it on Spotify, if you’re curious.

This blog is where I’ll share pieces of that journey—songs I’ve written, ideas I’m working on, stories behind the lyrics, and whatever else music brings into my life. If you’re a fellow songwriter, a curious listener, or just someone who loves music that means something, you’re in the right place.

Thanks for being here. Let’s begin.

Best Before - single 26.08.2025

  As I approach 60, I feel that my body has run it's course. With modern medicine, I could last another 20 or 30 years ... maybe. However, my body is severely compromised, and I do think about the wonder of sitting in an armchair, covered in a blanket, listening to the radio. [Verse 1] Well, I used to be fresh on the market, Crisp and shiny, bright on the shelf. But now my label’s curling at the edges, And I’m starting to doubt myself. [Pre-Chorus] The world keeps moving faster, But I’m slowing down each day. So stick me in a chair by the wireless, Let the violins take me away. [Chorus] I’m approaching my “best before” date, But I’ll age like a fine old wine. Give me Radio 3 and a blanket, And I’ll say, “Life’s still pretty fine.” [Verse 2] I don’t need no hustle or bustle, No meetings, no deadlines to chase. Just a teapot steaming on the table, And a soft light warming my face. [Pre-Chorus] The symphonies know my secrets, The cellos can soften the pain. Retirement’s not an en...

Look the Other Way

 I like being English. I'm lucky to be English (rather than, say Palestinian or an Afghan). I am happy to celebrate English culture - fish and chips, queueing, saying I'm sorry, understatement. Some English culture is crap - football violence, the class system, snobishness, fish rissoles. I am not willing to support the use of the St George's flag to express nationalism in a way that clearly smells of racism. You can be a patriot without being a racist. You can fly the flag without being a dick. [Verse 1] They’re shouting on the corner, waving flags in the air Screaming about strangers who were never even there But the man in the mansion is laughing with his mates While the people on the pavement swallow all the hate [Chorus] Look the other way, don’t look at the thief He’s selling off your future, he’s peddling your grief He’s counting dirty money while he points to the door And you blame the asylum seeker sleeping on the floor [Verse 2] The papers print the headlines, s...
