Harbour Lights
Episode #75: Harbour Lights\xa0 \xa0(Song starts at 7.35)\nHi there. If this is your first time here, what can you expect from having a listen?\nYou'll find a show packed with music, humour, anecdotes..even the odd bird call. (!)\xa0\nI'm here to entertain you by providing a relaxed 30 minutes of conversation. Sure it's a pretty one sided conversation, but thanks so much for those of you tuning in each week. I feel like I'm in your company... \nplus you'll get to hear some new music - well, it'll be new to you, but each week I select a song from the 800 or so I've composed over the years - and I'm still going (last week's episode featured the most recent song I've written).\xa0\nHarbour lights was composed in 2011. It's a description of tough period in someone's life (there's a bit of me in it - it was one of my shakier chapters). But I got through it. As they say, the darkest hour is just before dawn. There\u2019s an uplifting chorus and finish with this song. So, ultimately, it\u2019s got an \u2018up\u2019 sort of feeling about it.\nOn that note, judging by recent feedback, it seems this podcast is lifting spirits, that is fantastic. This is one of the reasons I started this podcast. We could all do with a lift in these uncertain times.\nAnother reason I'm doing this is to share my song working tips (by the way, I'm not going to tell you how to write a song, but I'm going to share with you how I do it).\nI'm loving recording these episodes, it's a fun, fluid process each week. It's all \u2018off the cuff\u2019 - as I walk in to the studio each time, I have no idea what I going to talk about. I allow the mood, the music, etc to lead the way.....\nAs usual, I had some fun on this episode... Given the dramatic nature of the song, I just felt the need, as an entertainer, to lighten the mood.\xa0\nOk I hope this one lifts your spirits.\xa0\xa0Enjoy !\xa0\nBy the way, here's my blog. This is where you\u2019ll find the lyrics, the painting and photos I mention\xa0 - and more: \xa0www.petepascoe.wordpress.com\xa0 / the \u2018Black Cockatoos\u2019 post.
