A Moment In Time
b'Episode #19: A Moment In Time - (Song at 7:10)\\nHi, Welcome to another Song and a Chat episode.\\xa0\\nBefore we shut down with Covid 19, I used to commute on the train. I can\'t say I miss the commute, but I did make the most of the time on the train. Sometimes I wrote lyrics. The words to this song were written on the train.\\xa0\\nOf course it wasn\'t always as productive on my commutes. I used to ride my bike part the way. I won\'t give it away, but often on a commute, weather plays a part in proceedings. And it helps if you actually stay on your bike as you\'re pedalling.\\nWhat\'s this all about, I hear you say. Isn\'t this a podcast about a song. Well, it is,\\xa0\\nThe song, song # 679, is a reflection on our perception of time. Sometimes a length of time can seem to go by in a blink of an eye. I touch on our disconnection, but as I tend to do, there\'s and uplifting optimistic angle where I suggest we might make the world a better place...\\nI talk about the song writing - there\'s some song writing tips here again.\\xa0\\nI actually drum on this song! This is a first - Pete Pascoe playing drums publicly.\\xa0\\nI learned to play the drums a little the same year I recorded this. During assembly, I used to jump on the drums in the music room at the Primary School where I teach piano. I\'d put the headphones on and have a lash. " right, it\'s basically what to whack when" ... Ha. I know it\'s a lot more than that, but it gave me some pleasure and I learned enough to be able to sketch out my ideas musically. Like this demo.\\xa0\\nSometimes words sit around for a while and then one day they just seem to leap out at you and you put them to music.\\xa0\\nI hope you enjoy this week\'s chat - and here\'s some more new music for you.\\xa0\\nLooking forward to recording this one properly one day...maybe this demo is the start... Since we record digitally, often a demo can become the actual recording. We\'ll see.\\xa0\\xa0Enjoy.'
