Hi and welcome to the "Song A Week Project" bought to you by Sundays Away. The basic premise is this....as of late October 2005 I will be podcasting a new song every week for a year....if my mathematics prove true this will be 52 songs over the course of the project. If (due to illness or other commitments) I do miss a week here or there i will make up for it on my next podcast - so by years end all 52 songs will have been posted. After the year is over, the 12 or so best songs will be taken into the studio and released as an album in 2007. Will the project crash and burn?....will I slowly lose my mind?....will the songs suck horribly?....will anyone really care? All these questions and more will be answered over the course of the next year...come on down and get your download on....

Week 36....no guitars again this week...I have been working on an idea to get subscribers of the podcast involved in the CD for next year and will let you know about it as soon as the details are sorted.take care...chad...sundaysawayOh yeah...i am also going to enable comments on the blog page if you want to have your say on what songs you like (or don't!)http://www.sundaysaway.libsyn.com
This one is a bit different and actually took up quite a bit of the week....im pretty happy with it though. Let me know what you think - cp (chad@sundaysaway.com)
This is rough as guts and the original untouched sketch of a song which would usually get re-recorded and fixed up..... Anyway thought I would just post one like this. cheers.chad
The next month or so is going to be hectic so a few more bonus MP3's will be coming through. I will do a big catchup when things die down! cheers. chad.
Week 25..I was working on an electric version of this, this week but didnt really like it - so did this basic one last night...i might post the electric version later in the week. Have a good one.cp
Here is week 21. Sorry its a bit late....will catch up someday. This one features a real life human being playing drums (thanks kyle...errr i mean 'bob')
have a great day.
It's hot and late and Im sick so I'll keep this short. Week 19. Enjoy. Oh yeah..Can all subscribers please send through their email addresses to chad@sundaysaway.com (I will not send you masses of email - it will be just to keep you up to date on details of the album when the project is finished)...cheers.cp
Week 17 is here. This was done in about an hour from conception to podcast - hopefully it's ok. Also my headphones are broke - mixing with those little bud earphones isnt the best deal....Thanks to the ever growing number of people tuning in.cp.
Week 16 'Song a Week Project'. Thanks for tuning in - hope you like keyboards - i have a feeling more will be coming as the weeks go by...by the way...this song (as with many of the songs) is not autobiographical.
cheers - cp - sundays away
This one is a bit of a breath of fresh air but still just a simple sketch really. Thanks again for all the downloads and feedback...please continue to let me know what songs are working so i can start to think about which ones may actually graduate from this here project.
sleep now - cp
Hi. Back in Australia and busyness has ensued - should be back to normal soon. In the meantime here is a filler - two new songs later this week hopefully!!

Week 13's demo is actually here on time - things are officially back on schedule! This is a video podcast from my computers perspective of the song being recorded. Now you know. chad (sundays away)
Welcome to Week 11. This song was recorded during a stormy night here on Vancouver Island. Thanks to everyone for all the support and downloads of late - listeners are growing each week ( just passed the 3000th download!!)
Weeks 8 and 9 songs will be posted soon!! Have a safe new years.
Chad
Merry Christmas from Victoria BC. Here is week 10's song that was recorded in the wee hours of Christmas morning with the help of Peter Novosel (AKA Novo). It has lot's of guitars and shutter noises....week 8 and 9's songs will be posted soon when i find the time to catch up!
Hi - Welcome to holiday filler number 2. This is another pre-recorded message. I believe we will be heading west to vancouver for Christmas about now. This song was recorded on the same night as week 4 or 5's song (in the backyard)...hope you have a great Christmas! chad
(pss... once we hit vancouver I will start catching up on the 'song a week' posts!!)
Hi - this is a pre-recorded message....by the time you get this I will be in Steinbach Manitoba. You are probably a lot warmer than me right now. Sorry no original song this week (will catch up in coming weeks!)- here is a song recorded a few years ago with my old band 'lewis'. cheers - chad.
this is one i wrote in the car yesterday.....it's got something to do with how identity is related to where we live.
This may be the last post for a few weeks as I fly to canada tomorrow. will catch up in a few weeks!
Just kind of testing if this works....this video was shot in our backyard and considering the budget ($0) and the time taken (about two hours to finished product) turned out alright me thinks...
Hi this was recorded earlier in the week in our backyard.....you can hear the crickets in the background. It was pretty much made up on the spot. cheers - cp
This song was written a while ago and recorded with the famous 'marcus bancroft' at studio perth foam (It actually features marcus doing some backing vocals at the end if you listen really closely). It is basically a song about separation and longing... cp (sundays away)
Hi welcome to week 4's song. It's very slow and long - kind of like those movies I used to fall asleep in at university...anyhoow...Have a great week - chad (sundays away)
Here is a rough demo of a song that I wrote about a year ago....if you know me I think you'll know what it's about...maybe...anyway...... I plan on doing a 'fuller' version of it one day. have a great week! cp (sundays away)
Well it's week 3 and here's a song I wrote earlier in the week and then tried to flesh out a little more as the week progressed......cheers!
cp (sundays away)
In addition to the brand spanking newly written 'song a week' posting...I thought I would post a 'previously recorded' demo every other week or so. Anyhow this first one is called 'with you'. cheers - cp (sundays away)
