Girl Called Insomnia
Episode #45: Girl Called Insomnia\xa0 \xa0(Song at 7.45)\nHi there and welcome to another episode. This week I\u2019ve done something different: I\u2019ve found an episode I recorded quite early on in proceedings, which I forgot about. \nIt was fascinating for me to listen back to an \u2018old\u2019 episode - there\u2019s been much that I\u2019ve changed, interns of presentation, energy, etc. \nBut the thing is, the idea, the premise of providing entertainment, song analysis and funny stories was there at the start - and those key elements are still the focus as we are up to the mid 40 episodes published now.\nIt would\u2019ve been a shame had I not published this episode. There\u2019s a lot of information here\u2026\nWhen songwriting being determined is so important. Sticking with it, learning as you go along, asking questions to find your path. There\u2019ll be false starts\u2026 \nI think you can apply this to pretty much anything in life. On this episode I talk about brief jobs I had (in a pet shop & a piano shop). I can certainly apply this concept to my \u2018evolution\u2019 as I\u2019ve gone along, recording these episodes. \nI also talk about arranging a song, multi tracking, making intuitive decisions as questions come up. The main thing is: is it good for the song? If so, it\u2019s in. If not, it\u2019s \u2018outta there\u2019!\nThe important thing is songwriting is a mysterious process. I won't tell you how to write a song - but I'll tell you how I write a song.\nI hope you enjoy this week\u2019s episode as much as I did, listening back today. It features song #17, from 1987!\nBy the way, I relate the time I auditioned for my 2nd (ever) piano man gig with Funeral For A Friend some years ago. Here I am on this video, playing it all these years down the track..\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WXhcZa2tgs\nThanks for tuning in. Catch you next week.
