Before I started writing the lyrics for the song I took time to consider what elements I should explore and what exactly did I want the message of the song to be. My initial perception of the brief title "Steam to Green" was that of a historical timeline and so I decided to structure my lyrics in such a way that reflects this.
The basic structure I came up with was four sections, each with its own theme and they are delivered as follows;
I have thus far completed three out of the four sections with only the second section still to complete. I recorded a demo version with the missing verse to show to the class and received positive feedback, there were some suggestions that I could add more percussion to the song which I have taken onboard. I aim to be finished the last verse within the next few days and prepare the song for recording in the studio.
