b"Episode #32: Madman\\u2019s Preoccupation - (Song at 7:48sec)\\nWelcome to another episode.\\xa0\\nHi there, my name is Pete, I'm a songwriter. I'm enjoying introducing a song I've written each week. I also talk about where the song came from, the lyrics, the music.\\xa0\\nSo you might like to tune in to pick up some song writing tips. Or you might like to just hear a songwriter speak about a song his life, observations. Information and entertainment - that\\u2019s what I\\u2019m offering. \\xa0\\nIt's as if I'm on a stage, talking in between songs.\\xa0 Only here on this podcast, I have the license to get carried away, and go where my thoughts take me as I talk.\\xa0\\nThis is all 'ad libbed\\u2019. I don\\u2019t use notes - mad, right?\\xa0\\nYep., it's a Madman's Preoccupation, alright, being a musician and artist... I picked this song (#683) out because right now, I don\\u2019t think I've ever been so busy \\u2026\\u201d You have to be mad to be doing this!\\u201d, I say to myself at times...\\nThis song looks back on 3 different stages of life: being your, adolescence and being a parent. It talks about taking time out in nature, the all persuasive addictive power of the internet, the possibility that right now might be a golden age of freedom for the world, in amongst all the ups and downs\\u2026 \\nSince we've been locked down here in Melbourne, I've been producing lots of positive creative content and posting it online, the timing has been great. There's so much that's grim on the Internet, I thought I'd do my bit, sharing some happy stuff.\\xa0\\nI'd actually committed to posting weekly content, the week we got locked down.... Since then it's been \\u2018all go\\u2019 (as usual) In that time I've produced and posted\\xa0\\xa032 How to Draw Cartoon Animals , 30 odd Music videos (YouTube\\xa0 - Pete Pascoe Art and Music), 32 Podcast episodes, 32 blogposts ...www.petepascoe.wordpress.com ...32 pairings on the blog, on my website....\\xa0www.petepascoe.com \\xa0Kind of mad, in a way?\\xa0\\nIt's been a busy, busy, life. An enjoyable life. Come along with me now and I'll share some insights about song writing, in an inclusive, relaxed manner, with plenty of humour. Enjoy."
