I'm happy to see bees and wood right there in the middle, but oh and cos expose a certain laziness. Die, lurking there at the bottom but still catching the eye, reveals my major lyrical obsession - as if you didn't know. I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions but, given that I am an old hobbit, I must confess to rather liking the preponderance of nature imagery. Scanning across, I find that new lyrics almost start to fall out - I'm wondering about using lyric clouds as a kind of cut-up technique (something that intrigues me but which I've never yet tried). So, for example: 'wonderful raging outside song'. Hmm.
The unstoppable spring is working its strange voodoo upon me. Including Astrolabe, I have now written four new songs - finished one last night while another landed in my head as I watched the room get light this morning. Like the blackbird, winter is dead to me, but now I can't stop singing.
I like the nature imagery too, and (perhaps aside from 'cos') it seems to me to create a rather beautiful poem...I like the 'word telling trees' down the bottom.
ReplyDeleteI've been having fun writing a very bad reggae song ('Garage Band' has a lot to answer for!)...reggae isn't really my thing, but I was inspired by some very good reggae over the weekend festival. I figure it's all good practice!
I'm waiting (quite patiently) for you to write a blog post about your newest musical project Wod, please do it! I'd love to know more about it having been wowed at the wytham winter warmer.

Hi Vicki - thanks for the prompt! Am intending to blog about Wod - just waiting until I've got some audio to share. As luck would have it, am just off to a rehearsal now, so watch this space! x
