Goodbye To Say Hello
Episode #128:\xa0 \xa0Goodbye To Say Hello\xa0 \xa0(Song starts at 4:46)\nWelcome to another episode. Where does a song come from? It\u2019s something I\u2019m fascinated by. \nThis has lead me to producing 120-something episodes.\nThat amazes me. I wasn\u2019t sure I\u2019d get past my first one.\nBut all we need is a start. And away we go. Isn\u2019t that like just being human\u2026 we make a start and\u2026. we make it up.\nThe great songwriter Jimmy Webb inspired the style of song that this is. I\u2019d been to his concert here in Melbourne, back in the year 2000. I remember he was talking about Simon and Garfunkel.\nThis lead me to thinking about how relationships can be so strong, so passionate. I thought more specifically about events and people in my life, how they come and go.\nSo I just started writing from that honest place within, the words just rolled out line after line and then I hit on the chorus goodbye to say hello.\nIt came to me that with forgiveness and understanding, a relationship that has come to a crisis point, feeling like it\u2019s the end, perhaps that\u2019s when a new start can happen.. and a friendship or relationship can become something even stronger -\xa0 if both parties choose to make it happen.\nAhh, the rich tapestry of life. The artistic path has all sorts of twists and turns. It\u2019s important to keep up with friendships. It can be a lonely path, otherwise.\nThe bonus is: you come up with art and music that gives you and others and pleasure.\nI\u2019d like to record this song one day soon. I\u2019m glad I stumbled across it in my song book for this episode.\nThe music comes together pretty quickly for me. The feeling guides the choice of key, the fingers play on the key and a melody is sung.\nIt amazes me when this happens. It\u2019s an absolute joy.\nIt was a pleasure to sing this demo while recording this episode.\nI hope you enjoy Goodbye To Say Hello - and hearing about how it came together.\nIt\u2019s a complicated business, but it\u2019s instinctive for me and that\u2019s what makes it fun\u2026\nHere we go enjoy\nHere\u2019s the links I mention: \nBlog with the lyrics and music and art www.petepascoe.wordpress.com.\xa0\nwww.petepascoe.com\xa0 \nLots of music: www.petepascoe.bandcamp.com. \nYouTube : Pete Pascoe Art and Music\n'The Untrodden Track' album ( Pascoe / Dredge)
