Writing songs for KK 2

The album I recorded with Steve Kilbey called 'Steve Kilbey & Martin Kennedy Present Unseen Music Unhead Words' (a mouthful yes... so lets call it KK1) is not released yet but I have nearly completed the music for KK 2. I'm getting way ahead of myself, but there's no point sitting around wasting time. Life Speeds Up (good name for a song). KK2 will happen faster than 1.

The song writing process for KK 1 was a bit hit and miss (I'm talking about the music - my half of the equation) and I didn't always know what I was doing but for KK2 the songs came together within a few weeks. The KK rule is to keep things simple and, well, Ive kept it simple. Hopefully not too simple!

Here's a little snapshot of a KK 2 song. The first part is the first demo acoustic guitar recording followed by the same song a few weeks later with more instruments added:
