		<title>Another Shot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If it were possible to go back and correct mistakes we made in the past, thus solving the problems we believe they caused, is it not fair to say that we would most likely make different mistakes instead? ]]></description>

		<title>Those That Never Made A Mistake</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How many times have you thought about doing something, only to stop and wait for the right circumstances or paralysed by fear of things going wrong? I still do this on occasion, even though I am preaching about it right now! It goes to show how powerful those thoughts are and how easy it is [...]]]></description>

		<title>On Our Way</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well we did it! I married my beautiful princess on 16th June and so this week, seeing as I am on cloud 9 there is no big message or deep meaning. Just a very simple declaration of how I feel.
HAPPY!
This song expresses my feelings in a very simple way. I love it!
On Our Way
Whatever happens, [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Really Do</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#34;I believe that we are born to find our genius and perform&#34;. This is a line from this weeks song. The path of the genius is paved with love. Not romantic love or wishy-washy, sentimentalities, but the life force of the spirit and the universe. If you follow your passion, like making music for instance [...]]]></description>

		<title>Life Spent Dying</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Reflecting a chapter of my life where I felt like I was doing nothing but existing, just killing time. 
For a while I think I believed that I had no chance of experiencing any great success or even feeling like I was a &#34;normal&#34; person. Well that&#8217;s in the past now as I have a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Whole Lotta Something</title>
		<description><![CDATA[OK, this weeks little story may be a little self-contradictory, but I&#8217;m very clear about what I am saying here.
I believe that it is possible to live the life of your dreams and experience the kind of wealth &#38; lifestyle you want to without hard work. Now I do not mean that I believe it [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Did it to Myself (again)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This song has no other pretentions other than being a good laugh. It was a real blast recording this one too as it was done differently to the usual acoustic &#38; vocal style of the WSC so far. I collaborated on this with another musician on the other side of the world! I sent him [...]]]></description>

		<title>Loosen Your Grip</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I mentioned briefly last week about letting go and starting again in the moment, it led me to write this song. So often we suffer because of the way we &#34;love&#34; others. I just realised (I do a lot of realising, you might have noticed) right or wrong that much of the time, we [...]]]></description>

		<title>Every Day I Start Again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wow. It&#8217;s happening, it&#8217;s really happening. This is not just a holiday this time. It&#8217;s the real deal! On top of that I&#8217;ll be a married man in about a month! My stuff has been collected by the shipping company and is starting it&#8217;s long journey on the seven seas to the other side of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Its All So Clear</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am having a little trouble organising myself in my frantic race against time to complete all my packing and farewells to friends &#38; family. It is this apparent chaos that is causing me to see things with very little clarity and even some diminished certainty about what I am doing.
This song is to re-affirm [...]]]></description>

		<title>Power To Create</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One week on since deciding never to stop &#34;dancing&#34; again I find myself having to learn the steps to a really intense and complex routine in the form of getting a mountain of tasks complete before my big move and meeting up with people from all corners of the UK to say my goodbyes. It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Wont Stop Dancing (to rock n roll)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;v been really pushed this last week for time. Time is such an imprisoning concept, but I&#8217;m not going into all that here right now!
I don&#8217;t have a lot to say this week except that the words to this song were inspired by me waking up to myself some time ago about certain situations in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wealth Abundance Joy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was not sure about this weeks song, number 16. If this was 6 months ago, I don&#8217;t think this song would have made it this far. I would have scrapped it already, probably through fear of what people thought of it, but as is the policy with The Weekly Songcast that is no excuse. [...]]]></description>

		<title>You and I</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With my new lifestyle just around the corner, the excitement is building and things are getting pretty busy in the PowerBook Producer&#8217;s world! Many things to plan, organise and orchestrate, not to mention the ongoing commitment to the songcast. Today gave rise to song 015 of the series and this weeks song is really simple, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Come and Light Me Up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Due to boring, technical faults my recording system is not fully operational. At least not in the way I would like it to be. Therefore the recording of this song has been done slightly differently, resulting in the recorded quality of the guitar not sounding as good as I would wish it to be. Of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Boy at Heart</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The adventure continues! Since embarking on The Weekly Songcast I have seen many developments in my journey towards fulfilling several ambitions of mine.
Not that I mean the songcast is the cause of these developments, no. I do think though that by staying committed to the songcast my awareness of what things are really important to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy If I Wanna Be</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some time ago, after noticing that a large amount of everyday stimuli in the form of TV, newspapers and news reports is potentially rather depressing I decided to rebel and focus on being happy!
I strongly believe that what we are exposed to on an everyday basis is what we come to expect as our reality [...]]]></description>

		<title>Don&#8217;t Steal My Dream</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you have visited here before you may have noticed that I seem to spend a lot of time singing about following or achieving dreams. I don&#8217;t see this trend changing all that quickly either, seeing as so far the lyrics that have come the easiest to me are on this subject.
I suppose it reflects [...]]]></description>

		<title>Being Brave</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What a week!
It&#8217;s been a bit of a marathon songwriting spree for the last few days. Since registering and partaking in the FAWM challenge, which was to write 15 songs in February I was determined, not only to accomplish the challenge, but to do so with an emphasis on quality as well as quantity.
It went [...]]]></description>

		<title>Got to be Decisive</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First of all, almost as soon as I had finished recording this song I changed the lyrics! I didn&#8217;t bother to re-record it though because it&#8217;s such a small change. Future recordings of this will be called &#34;Time to be Decisive&#34;. Also I don&#8217;t know what happened to my voice. The way it sounds really [...]]]></description>

		<title>Doing Nothing (but loving you).</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m going out on a limb this week. Not only am I posting the week&#8217;s song early (because of the date), I&#8217;m baring my sensitive side and singing a love song. It goes to show how my fear of whether I sound cool or not has diminished because this song isn&#8217;t!
Still like I said before [...]]]></description>

		<title>Action</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A very different vibe this week. I was putting the finishing touches to two other songs and I had come to a sticking point. They were both coming along great, but just missing something and the last little bit needed wasn&#8217;t there.
I started messing around on my guitar to relax my mind a little when [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kit Teung (I Miss You)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The idea for this song had been rattling around in my head for some time after I had heard some folk music from Thailand&#8217;s Isaan (North East) region. The rhythm of much of that music is quite upbeat and it inspired me to do something like that of my own, although the result is somewhat [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ko Bidda</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This song has some personal significance, so please excuse the self inulgence!
  
  Ko Bidda is a place in The Andaman Sea in Thailand. Two large rocks to be precise: Ko Bidda Noi &#38; Ko Bidda Nok. I nearly died in those waters, but if I had not experienced what I did there [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Want to be Right</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Don’t we all? I realised this as I was thinking of all the times that I automatically chime in with an opinion.
  
Without noticing, we all do this. It is our self righteous streak that simply has to be heard and acknowledged by the world! How many times do you hear people tell you [...]]]></description>

		<title>No Matter What (you have done or not done)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think this one came out pretty well. The words just “happened”, which always is a good sign as far as I’m concerned. If you listen out you may hear a few nods to a couple of particular songwriters, but it wasn’t pre-conceived to be like that.
  
I just opened my mouth, strummed my [...]]]></description>

		<title>Alive</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been under attack by some mystery illness for the last few days. Fever, aching (mainly in the kidneys), headaches and feeling so weak I could hardly lift my guitar.
  
  Still, that is not a good enough excuse for neglecting the commitment to the songcast, so I made sure that I got [...]]]></description>

		<title>Moment</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well I managed to fulfill my promise to myself to get the first song up by New Year’s day. In fact, to make sure it was on time I even uploaded it early. I didn’t spend any real time on production. I just wanted the song in existence.
  
This is a landmark and I [...]]]></description>
