When I find some time I sit down and write a song and immediately record it. I don't care too much about slurred lyrics or bad guitar playing. Usually I use the first take and try to not edit anything. Sounds stupid but for me its more about the feeling of the moment than a perfect end product. Against all the rules but I am usually happier with a spontaneous recording. Anyway for this one I got some nice feedback from the wife of the actor Andy Whitfield (of spartacus fame) who I refer to in this song.
If you like some folky stuff give it a listen
