The Weekly Song Podcast is back with another episode of writing songs from scratch!

This week Declan has written the upbeat, arabian riff-based song 'I'm Only Off Cause I'm Paid To Be On', a piece which was built from an initial melody into a riff and then expanded with stream of consiousness lyrics.

Roger brings the song 'Magic Happens' to the show, explaining the use of non-diatonic chords and using happy sounding in conjuction with sadder lyrics.
