I thought I’d reflect a bit on my year in songwriting.
Considering this is only the second year which I’m seriously writing songs (I only really started last year), I am still very much learning as I go along, and in the process hoping to hone my songcraft.
Overall I am very satisfied with my output this [...]

When Dreams Came True
Monday, 24 November, 2008
The last week was so hectic for me that I’ve now officially fallen ill.
But ultimately, last Saturday night’s concert was simply one of the best memories of my life.
It’s so heartening to hear that the concert meant so much to so many people. For some of us (myself included), it was the fulfillment of a [...]
Perfect!
Sunday, 23 November, 2008
Tonight’s 2nd annual Songcraft mini-concert was simply perfect!
Sometimes I need to pinch myself to see if all this is real. Everything seems to go so perfectly when it comes to Songcraft. I truly want to thank God for blessing this wonderful little group since its inception.
It is truly an immense joy to know so many [...]
Tonight’s Songcraft
Saturday, 25 October, 2008
Tonight’s Songcraft session was unexpectedly fantastic.
I mean, it was much better than I has expected it to be. Which is always good.
The turnout was great, and the songs were great too.
Personally, I had two brand new songs to share, and I really enjoyed the experience. I think one gains so much more at Songcraft if [...]
Status Update: Jeremy Is…

…writing a typical listen-once-and-throw-away song on guitar for this Friday’s Songcraft session.
I realised I haven’t presented any new songs for the last two sessions (cos I’ve been busy writing stuff for church), hence I feel I really need to present something for this Friday.
So far tonight, it’s coming along well. I managed to get the [...]
“Hear” The Music

How does an artist paint a picture?
Well, first I believe he decides what subject he wants to paint.
Then he’ll start to conceive the entire painting in his mind, and think about aspects such as perspective, composition, colour and perhaps brush techniques.
In other words, the artist has the entire picture all planned [...]
Small Is Beautiful.
Sunday, 31 August, 2008
For our latest Songcraft session, the turnout was rather small.
Well, definitely much smaller if you compare it with our previous session.
But I was suddenly reminded that small is beautiful.
And I had a great time last night.

My Singapore
Music & Lyrics by Jeremy Yew
When I take a look around me in this city that I love
In our island so beautiful and free
See the red and white, the stars, the crescent flying high above
I think of how it flies for you and me
Hand in hand we’re marching onward, strive to do the [...]
The Songcraft Dilemma
Thursday, 17 July, 2008

The Songcraft Songwriting Circle has grown quite a bit since it was first started in April last year.
Grown, not necessarily in the “numbers” sense, but definitely in the sense of “passion”, “chemistry” and “spirit”. This is definitely something which I had not expected, but neither can I say that it [...]

Monday, 14 July, 2008
Since our July Songcraft session is this coming Friday, I shall dedicate a few posts to Songcraft this week.
Firstly, let me just announce that after almost 16 months of existence, we finally have a Facebook group! (Many thanks to Jerron for setting it up, cos I wouldn’t have done it on my own.)
