Welcome to The Weekly Songcast


This musical blog/podcast documents my songwriting journey on a weekly basis. It is mainly a tool for me to maintain momentum in my creativity and at the same time, I hope provide something worthy of you to listen to and come back to again and again.


My name is Robert Cooke and I am the Boy at Heart. Don't forget to subscribe for a Boy at Heart Backstage Pass (to the right) and get a really cool, interactive songbook for free in the process.

Heartburn

I wrote this song last night whilst under attack from some really painful acid indigestion. In a way I’m glad I had it because even though I felt as sick as a dog and in as much discomfort as I can tolerate, it gave me this song, which I quite like!

Clearing Out Your Head

A Slow but Effective Start to 2010

We always know deep down what it is and if you feel like you don’t then it’s time to pick up the hotline to your heart and listen out until you hear the answer from your subconscious because it is there all the time with the answer.

If This is What it Feels Like

To Be Crazy!

Maybe I am, maybe I’m not, but if somebody has an explanation as to what it entails not to be crazy in any way whatsoever then I’d like to hear it.

All Over Again

It’s never too late

To start all over again. It really isn’t. I have always believed this deep down, but the truth is that I have allowed my doubting voice to have too much say in the past and even fell for the illusion that once you reach a certain age then there isn’t much left you can hope to achieve.

From the Inside Out

What it comes down to is that you have the power to create your life. Oh yes you do because you are already creating it! Once you commit to creating your life with awareness: I.e. deliberately and purposefully, you’ll see just how much easier it can be to experience life the way you want it to be more of the time.

A World Away

Welcome back to the Weekly Songcast! It feels a little like it did back when it started from scratch. I was reminiscing about that the other day with a friend. When I decided to do the Weekly Songcast, it wasn’t called the Weekly Songcast. In fact it didn’t really have a name and the first few entries were done using iWeb on my Mac.

Ready to Start Again

More Music for 2010

It is getting closer: The time for making empty promises to yourself (New Year’s Resolutions – sorry for the cynicism), drinking too much and asking yourself the question, again – Where did the last year go?

It is also the time of year (well this once anyway) for the Weekly songcast to rise from it’s ashes and take flight again.

The WSC Will Breathe Again

Planning a Return!
I’ve missed you. I’ve missed posting here every week a new song to document my development as a songwriter.

The feelings I had doing the WSC became ingrained in me on a day to day basis, so that even when I wasn’t writing or posting on the site, it still contributed a good feeling. I want that back.

The WSC Continues – Well sort of

Enjoy the New Website
Rather than simply leave everything standing here I want to just make sure that you are aware of the fact that you can still experience my work over at the Boy@Heart official website, which is going through some big developments.

The End of the Beginning

Is This the Last Ever WSC Song?
Err… Probably, at least in the way the WSC has been running for the last 20 months.

I am retiring the Weekly Songcast indefinitely with a feeling of great satisfaction. Not satisfaction that I am retiring it, but a sense of great achievement. It has served its purpose well, which was to get me on the path of being a songwriter and in that purpose it has been truly successful.
