Cathedral
Episode #18: Cathedral - (Song at 6:08 & 28:50)\nHi, If you've been here before, welcome back for another dose! If you're here for the first time, thanks for having a listen.\xa0\xa0What I'm doing is offering you an insight into the song, where it came from, how it came together - plus of course you get to hear a demo of the song.\xa0\nI particularly enjoy looking back at the time I when I wrote the song, seeing what springs to mind... It's amazing how a song is like a bookmark in time, for your memory.\xa0\nThis week's song is Song# 357. Cathedral is a song I wrote when I needed to dig deep to get through a tough time. Writing this song was therapeutic, but art is great because it can become something else, something better than a dark piece of therapy. It can become something uplifting, something that might mean one thing to one person and mean something else to another listener. A song can be transformative for both the writer and the listener.\xa0\nI think the arts are so important. It's getting us through these covid weeks - it's getting our minds off what is a very difficult and tragic time\n\xa0If you want 30 minutes in another world, step into the shoes of this songwriter and I'll take you somewhere else.\xa0\nI'll take you the place where I go, the place I discovered as a kid, the place I take stock, regain my balance and get a fresh perspective.\xa0\n2 for 1 again this week: first up, a piano /vocal demo and then a band version of this week's cathedral to finish.\xa0 Enjoy!
