Good Things Take Time

Honestly, there’s lots of photography going on: a busy year booked-up already but…

I is writing songs a lot. Here’s another one:

In an effort to get a little more organised this year with my songs and performances, here’s a link to ReverbNation.

Details of gigs and the like. Feel free to join the mailing list if the music does it for you: there’s a place to leave your email.

Artist Mark Ponsford is doing me a polaroid portrait sometime this week. I hate having my photo taken.

Have a good week!

Songs of Hope and Despair

petemillson — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 00:03:49 +0000

I’ve written an album. It’s taken me about three months to write. That’s nice isn’t it. You’ll be the judge of that.

It’s yet to be recorded by someone who knows what they’re doing but that doesn’t matter because now it exists enough that I can put it on a table and point at it.

From The Birds

New song. Crappy recording, but, new song.

Word up

Have today done a great gig and the songs sound great. New discovery: sing quietly like it’s real and all will be well.

Have also photographed a book cover for Faber. Have photographed the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. Have cleaned the bathroom. Have decided on a plan of action for the album. Am putting a book of recent portraits together. They’re also the best work I’ve done. Have fallen in love (musically, you understand) with Ryan Adams and Gillian Welch.

This is what a blog is for, no? Talking to yourself to fire yourself up for the week.

Have a great week.

Look, here’s a couple of family snaps from ages ago:

Small Hot Chocolate

Recently went into a well known high-street coffee shop and asked for a ‘small hot chocolate’ for my youngest son. “A Babyccino?” was the response. Please, for ****’s sake don’t do this. Isn’t it obvious that I cannot utter the word Babyccino. It is not something I’m prepared to do. You’ve had my request described in succinct detail – what’s the problem with saying “certainly, anything else?”

And relax.

HOME ENTERTAINMENT for iPhone/iPad

If you’re lucky enough to own an iPhone – or whatever they’re called – then you might like a great ebook of sharp, incicive photographs to go with it.

Home Entertainment by Pete Millson now available as an ebook for £1.49. Download one now.

In other news, I’ve now written 10 songs and in my mind that’s an album. Now to find a producer to help me turn it into an album. Album title is Songs Of Hope And Despair.

That’ll cheer ‘em up.

Red Leaves On The Cherry Tree

Photographer’s blog, so… NEW SONG!

The Midnight Bell

petemillson — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 08:14:42 +0000

Following on from my note about how terrific an author Patrick Hamilton was, here is a song I’ve written which is a snapshot of his book The Midnight Bell. Hope you enjoy it.

A rough demo, you understand.

Have a nice week.

The Midnight Bell.
