This podcast is only temporary
Irish songwriter and producer Andy White’s fourth series of This podcast is only temporary tells the story of the writing and recording of his live album 'The night is approaching through some would say it was morning', recorded at Abbey Road with producer John Leckie.
Progressing through the day from morning to night, Andy tells the stories of the songs along the way - as in previous Series 3 in which he looked at his spoken word album 'Good Luck I Hope You Make It', and the first two series which go track by track through solo album ‘This garden is only temporary’ and the 'AT' album co-written with Tim Finn.

Bundle of their Dreams
Three tracks into the AT album and Andy steps up with a song that started in a similar way to I Decided to Fly from Altitude. This time, Tim and he go back and forward writing a song about their parents, although some of it ends up being about a certain Irish mongrel.
The latest dive into the AT master tapes reveals Bundle of their Dreams' relationship to Seventeen and uncovers the secrets of the dreaded Melodica. But most of all, that writing around a theme close to your heart is a good thing to do.
You'll hear demo versions of the song as a work-in-progress and the bundle they sent to John Leckie to mix. Plus Andy's toy piano. The only unanswered question is—why does he have a toy piano?
