Between You and Me
Episode #166:\xa0 Between You and Me\xa0 \xa0(Song starts at 6:25)\n\nI\u2019m going to take you back to 1994 on this episode, literally.\n\nThis week my wife said to me \u2018maybe we should have gone on to England ( we\u2019d moved here - Melbourne - in 1997, originally we are from New Zealand. I think we just might get to the UK sometime\u2026).\n\nThis made think of the song 'Between You and Me'. So I thought aha! That\u2019ll do for this week's podcast episode.\n\nThen I remembered and old cassette tape of me talking in my van at the time I wrote and recorded the demo. Lo and behold I found it straight away in a box in my studio.\n\nSo I\u2019ve put together some bits and pieces this week, as I set up the song..and it was fun\n\nAs i let the song lead the way, I found myself talking about some of the deeper aspects of life, how there\u2019s so many parallels between learning an art and making it your life and figuring out stuff along the way.\n\nIt amazes me what comes off my tongue as I sit at the piano, with the mic on, just going with stream of consciousness.\n\nYou build up momentum over the years, when you\u2019re committed to the arts. I am. I wrote 6 songs the day I wrote 'Between You and Me'\u2026\n\nI think this one\u2019s a good one. I think I might put it on the songs from the podcast album #1. We\u2019ll see.\n\nOf course after the song plays, as usual, I dive into the lyrics, see what\u2019s behind them.\n\nThen I\u2019ll take you through some of the songwriting process - explain some of the steps as we go along.\n\nAs I\u2019ve gone along on this podcasting business, it\u2019s amazed me how complicated writing a song really is - the creative process is very involved. And yet it\u2019s simple really.\n\nYou just need a good foundation (theory) put into practice (practice), go forward, expect the best - and enjoy yourself along the way.\n\nBeing free to create and let go all the way. It\u2019s bit like a recipe for life, really.\n\nIt\u2019s a joy, songwriting. And it\u2019s a pleasure to be recording an episode about it each week.\n\nI hope you\u2019re enjoying listening. You\u2019re my audience and I\u2019m so grateful to each and everyone of you for tuning in.\n\nI hope you like this week\u2019s song.\n\nBy the way, I\u2019ve got 5 new albums coming along nicely. You\u2019ll get to hear about them of course.\n\nIf you\u2019re new hear and you like what you hear on this episode and want to hear more music, I have a dozen albums out solo; and with Paul Dredge (folk rock); and with the Patient Hum band (rock).\nYou can stream my music on all the usual platforms (Spotify Apple) here\u2019s my bandcamp site \u2014 where you can stream, purchase and buy as a gift.\n\nwww.petepascoe.bandcamp.com.\n\nAnd here\u2019s my weekly blog where you can read the song of the weeks lyrics and view my art, if you like,\nwww.petepascoe.wordpress.com\n\nOk. Buckle up and come along for a ride.\n\nEnjoy
