In My Own Time
b"Episode#48: In My Own Time - (Song at 7.38 & 20.35)\\nSometimes the cliche of \\u2018a dark time in a life being the time where seeds can be planted and eventually grow into something new\\u2019....happens.\\xa0\\nThis is what happened with In My Own Time.\\xa0\\nOne dark night long ago, I wrote down exactly the thoughts that came into to my mind- stream of consciousness style.\\xa0\\nThe music does reflect the mood of those words. But there's an underlying sort of uplifting lilt that comes through, almost despite myself.\\xa0It seems to be an ongoing theme in my at and music - I will generally offer something that is ultimately uplifting.\\xa0\\nBut it's true. The artist's pain can become something that gives people pleasure, that's just one of the great things about the arts.\\xa0\\nIn this episode, I also include some of the version the band eventually recorded. It's quite \\u2018up\\u2019. So much so, it became the song we played first at all our gigs for a few years.\\nHere's where you can hear the whole song ( and the album \\u2018This World Offers You) https://petepascoe.bandcamp.com/music\\nSo from the dark night of the soul, something has grown and it has lasted.\\xa0\\nNo matter what you're up to, if you're on a path, following a passion, never give up. Just keep moving and you\\u2019ll get through.\\xa0\\nIn this episode, I also play a quick snippet of a song \\u2018Unwind\\u2019. I recorded an instrumental version of it today. You can see the video on YouTube at Pete Pascoe Art and Music\\xa0\\nAny artistic path has its rocky parts. You've just got to be determined - and perhaps a little mad - to see it through at times. When I wrote these lyrics, I wasn\\u2019t exactly on top of the world\\u2026.and this week, on Sunday, I painted a picture at the beach. It was a really rough day. Very moody colours, but I had a job just hanging onto my canvas, let alone getting paint in the right places. But I got there!\\xa0\\nI'm loving sharing my songwriting tips, ideas, etc... Each week, I look forward to recording an episode for this podcast. I record my spoken voice the way I rewrite my lyrics: I shoot from the hip, go with instinct and sense of exploration - and I have fun. Actually that's not a bad recipe to keep in mind when you're trying to get into the creative zone required to do anything in the arts.\\xa0\\nOk, I hope you enjoy this episode as much a I enjoyed recording it.\\xa0\\nIf you do enjoy it, there's 40 odd episodes to discover.
