Balcony
Episode #16: Balcony - (Song at 4:03)\nA demo from my past - Feb 1994, written in Hamilton NZ, you\u2019ll hear some anecdotes from my time there. As I describe these experiences, you\u2019ll get an insight\xa0 into places I\u2019ve been and people I\u2019ve met and you\u2019ll also see how they find their way into song lyrics and music. \nI also talk about the song in terms of what it means to me today. \nIf you like the idea of stepping into the shoes of a songwriter for half an hour, you\u2019re in the right place. \nThese episodes are all an evolving work in progress. I\u2019ve decided I\u2019m going to go back and collect all the song writing tips and examples and publish them in a concise form at some point in the future. \nSo it\u2019s a case of art inspiring more art. Or speaking or writing or\u2026story telling. \nBalcony is song number 322 in my song book I wrote it as I sat on the balcony - it was an early autumn evening, the bright sun was descending behind the neighbours trees and I really felt like I was flying through space in time as the words came to me through the ether ..or where ever they come from. \nThese podcast episodes are proving to be enlightening to me\xa0as I reflect on the songwriting process - I\u2019m collecting tips on songwriting and sharing them in the same moment of discovery. \nTune in and enjoy the chat - personal (almost confessions) and broader observations on life. Grab a cuppa or close your eyes if you\u2019re on a train, do not close your eyes if you are driving.\xa0\nEnjoy 30 mins of a slice of life. Well, several slices - a healthy serving again this week. \nSomewhat bizarrely, wolves make a (humorous) appearance twice in the episode. I bet you weren\u2019t expecting that! Neither was I\u2026\nThanks for tuning in.
