About

My name is Andy Kerr and I am a fourth year Commercial Music student studying at UWS in Ayr, Scotland.

I am running this blog as a creative project with the aim of looking at the songs I write from a different angle. As a songwriter, I struggle sometimes to find a stimulus to write about – this project looks to change that.

For one working week from a Monday to Friday I will select a newspaper headline at random and use it to write a song. Once I use one publication’s headline I will not be allowed to use the same publication again for the duration of the week. Once I have written each song I shall record it and upload it here via soundcloud. Each song will be completed and ready to hear by 10PM each night. In addition to each song being uploaded, I shall also put up each song’s lyrics and chords as well as an explanation about the headline I chose and how I went about writing each song.
