A Little Light
b"Episode #56:\\xa0 A Little Light\\xa0 \\xa0(Song at 4.56)\\nHi there, welcome to another episode packed with anecdotes, songwriting insights & humour. Even if you're not overly into songwriting, you might enjoy this - the focus is on information and entertainment!\\xa0So sit back and have a listen as I chat, touch briefly on concepts, before moving on to the next thought.\\nI record these episodes without any notes. As soon as I settle on the song and flick the mic on, all sorts of possibilities come into my mind..memories, and those invariably leads to some peoples faces, which brings up different emotions.\\xa0I would say emotion is the big driver of song composition.\\xa0\\nThis week\\u2019s song is about how there\\u2019s always ways to bring a little light into your life - no matter how dark it gets.\\nYou can view me singing this episode\\u2019s song on my YouTube channel Pete Pascoe Music Art (lots of music videos here) It's so nice to shut my eyes and have a sing (as I play the piano) through some songs from my songbooks. There\\u2019s often a series of pleasant surprises for me,\\xa0as I recall old melodies & sections of songs I\\u2019d forgotten I\\u2019d composed.\\xa0\\nThe songs are all written in my songbooks in a shorthand form - just enough to remind me of the crucial information. I\\u2019ve begun creating lead sheets and piano arrangements of all these songs - they\\u2019ll be up online before long.\\nIt's nice to bring these songs out into the light - shed a little light on how they came to be, what there about,,..\\nRight. I've been out fishing: yesterday until\\xa011pm, then I was up at dawn this morning at 5.45am \\u2026.last night it was great to see the sunset, then the starlight. Then seeing dawn this morning..all these different times of day have a slightly different light.\\xa0 I talk about these scenes, the things I saw when I was fishing on the rocks and at the beach.\\nAnd I think I'm going to head out tonight...\\xa0yep, I\\u2019m a bit keen on fishing - it\\u2019s my \\u2018time out\\u2019.\\nI hope you enjoy this episode. I feel inspired each time I start talking about the music. I enjoy adding some piano here and there, as I speak, too.\\xa0\\nDo look up my blog\\xa0www.petepascoe.wordpress.com\\xa0. You can read the lyrics of each episode\\u2019s song, see a painting & some cartoons (& this week, you can have read about how I feel about what's on TV and commercial radio these days - not my personal cup of tea\\u2026.).\\xa0\\nThanks so much for dropping by. If you know of someone whom you think might enjoy this podcast, please feel free to share it far and wide. Thank you in advance.\\xa0\\nEventually I\\u2019m going to be producing video courses and ebooks on songwriting. I\\u2019m really looking forward to that.
