(Photo courtesy of B) Songcraft turned 2 last week, and I thought it’d be appropriate for me to share my thoughts: It was a great event at the Earshot Cafe, though it was a pity that a few of our regulars couldn’t join us that night. Anyhow, the entire night went great and I have [...]

Can You Say “Happy Belated April Fool’s”?
Monday, 13 April, 2009
About my last post…well, I did mention it was one and a half weeks overdue. It was meant to be posted on 1st April…which also happens to be April Fool’s Day. The two clues were “one and a half weeks” and the “humour” tag. (Some of you were sharp enough to spot the “humour” tag.) [...]
The End Of Songcraft
Sunday, 12 April, 2009
This post is about one and a half weeks overdue, but I thought I’d get it out once and for all. I’m closing the Songcraft Songwriting Circle after our 2nd anniversary celebration this coming Wednesday. It was not an easy decision, but I guess everything must come to an end. This has been the most [...]
Pure
Thursday, 19 March, 2009
Sometimes it’s fun (and refreshing) to just grab a guitar and lie on the bed and try to come up with a song. It’s definitely a different way of songwriting than I’m used to, but sometimes I find this method more pure. Basically what it entails is just strumming some random chords, letting the sounds [...]
Not Enough Time*
Monday, 2 March, 2009
Well, as I mentioned, 2009 has been kinda like a whirlwind for me. So many things going on I hardly have time to breathe. (Plus the fact that I kinda went a bit looney recently and bought tickets to at least 9 different plays/shows/musicals/concerts/etc coming up in the next two months.) I had half a [...]
My Year In Songwriting
Monday, 22 December, 2008
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Status Update: Jeremy Is…
Monday, 20 October, 2008
…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 [...]
