14 weeks since #MuffetWayAlbum has been released, and we are up to the last track on the album! Never See Me Cry is a fast funky rock song. One of my fave songs of the 90s is Always on the Run from #lennykravitz and this 🧵
We are up to the penultimate track of #MuffetWayAlbum - Shining Down On Me! This is a solo ballad that builds and builds and then builds some more! Each verse and chorus add some more guitar, more complex drums and stronger vocals before finishing with a crisp 🧵
A busy weekend meant that I forgot to post my weekly track-by-track introduction of #MuffetWayAlbum on Sunday, so here it is now on a Tuesday! Track 12 is called That Girl of Yours! It’s an indie pop-funk track about doing what you need to do to keep that girl! 🧵
My heart has calmed from an intense footy game, so let’s slow it down even more with an intro to track 11 from #MuffetWayAlbum - What You Want To Say! This is the third and final collaboration on the album, with lyrics from Chris Triggs!
Sunday evening again - where does the time go?! - and I’m up to week & track 10 of my #MuffetWayAlbum track by track intro! This week is another sultry, soulful, blues track - Losing My Mind! This track features a lowdown gritty riff, harmonics, a bouncy bass line, 🧵
We are up to track 9 of #MuffetWayAlbum and this one was the last to receive lyrics! Watcha Say started as a bass line, developed in my warm ups in the pit for my school production of The Addams Family! This track is a fun, funky, blues riff with a big one-chord chorus! 🧵
We start the 2nd half of my #MuffetWayAlbum track-by-track intro with perhaps my oldest written song - Promise! This basis for this song was written in the mid 1990s after learning the intro to Under The Bridge. 🧵
We are at the halfway point of my track-by-track intro of #MuffetWayAlbum! Close My Eyes is a dreamy indie pop-rock song about how all I need to do when feeling sad or blue is close my eyes and I’m there with my girl! 🧵
We are up to week & track 6 of my track-by-track introduction of #MuffetWayAlbum! I See You is one of my favourite tracks on the album, an indie-pop-rock almost shoegaze track seeing someone (myself really) 🧵
The final night of my winter break is upon us and it’s time for another track intro from #MuffetWayAlbum! We are up to track 5 - Won’t Let You Down! This is the first of 2 slow, dirty blues tracks on the album! It’s no secret my love of the Beatles, and this track was inspired by Don’t Let Me Down🧵
And here’s that solo I promised! Really digging this one! If you like this solo, why not check out #MuffetWayAlbum on your favourite streaming service - plenty solos there too!

Sunday night again and it’s time for another track introduction for #MuffetWayAlbum! Track 4 is the title track for the album - Muffet Way! I set out to write a track in the style of Aussie legends, You Am I! I started with a capo in the third fret and laid down a jangly guitar track 🧵
2nd song of the holidays for the #orangeemperor started, this little pop-funk ditty! While we’re waiting for a #bassline, why not head over to your favourite #streaming service and check out #MuffetWayAlbum?!

that lead to a change in feel for the song! I slowed it down, somewhat mirrored the keyboard melody on the bass and added a dirty delayed guitar solo and A Liar & A Thief was born! Have a listen below, then check out the rest of #muffetwayalbum for good measure!
2nd best Sunday night of the year and I’m continuing with my track-by-track intro of #muffetwayalbum! Track 2, A Liar & A Thief, started out slightly more upbeat and boppy as a keyboard track. This is a rare song for me where the lyrical idea came before most of the instrumentation. 🧵
