It's becoming clearer – this podcast is about the elements that go together to make an album! This week, Andy is talking about dreams and expectations, writing about somewhere he knows well—his hometown of Belfast—from an unexpected point of view. He discusses travelling in dreams, compares songs to dreaming, and discusses how it can be possible to 'make things right' by writing about it.
As the layers that go to make up Get it Right This Time are unpeeled, you'll hear isolated mixes from the master recordings. The episode ends with the original version of the song from Andy's studio.
The earlier songs Andy mentions are Birds of Passage and The Walking Wounded, and the albums he talks about are Rave on Andy White and Out There. London Calling is here. You can find the released version of Get it Right This Time and stream, download or order Andy's new album 'This garden is only temporary' on Bandcamp.
There are many ways to start writing a song or an album, hopefully this will give you some ideas. "Use what you listen to, do it your own way. It's got your fingerprint on it as soon as you do it. That's how tradition works, that's how music and writing works".
