This year I wrote a song for our anniversary. Cheesy I know…

To be completely honest with you, I am not sure why this song is called what it is… When I was working on it and I came to save it for the first time, it was the title that just sprung up to me, and I typed it out without really thinking about it. So, unless someone has a better reason for the name that they would like to share with me, that explanation will have to do for now…

Eventually I’ll get around to writing about making music on the iPhone (there is a lot to write about…), but for now, here is a little ditty that I put together in about 20 minutes using BeatMaker (USD 19.99 | iTunes link). This is an incredible piece of software that feels like a real PC tool rather than something on your phone. It is essentially a sequencer with a large library of sounds – but it is also really easy to use and put stuff together – highly recommended.

Updated: Forgot to mention that I ran the .wav exported by BeatMaker through some mastering tools at the end to polish up the sound (but only a little!)…

This is a dancier track. No… its not about not getting any – its about not understanding why I’m not getting any…

This track was written on a train from Sydney to Newcastle in about an hour (and polished for a bit longer than that as is usually the case…). Some people have told me you can hear train sounds in it. This is purely coincidental…
