Missed Me
b"Episode #38:\\xa0 Missed Me\\xa0 \\xa0(Song at 5:21)\\nWow! Episode #38 of my \\u2018song writer speaks\\u2019 series. I can\\u2019t believe there\\u2019s been that many already. It all seems so new and exciting each week when I hit the record button.\\nI\\u2019ve had fun today, been out to the beach a couple of times today... (might\\u2019ve had a birthday, so I allowed myself sometime out - just a bit). While I was at the beach I painted a picture of the scene. This evening I made a video of \\u2018step by step\\u2019 cartoon pig on a bike (part 2) for YouTube. I've written a blog post and started adding photos, etc. Now it's 1am and I'm listening back to the episode I've just recorded as I'm writing this.\\nI mention all of that because when you're busy like I am , you've just got to grab the moments you have to create.\\xa0\\nThat's where this song came from. Song number 5, out of about 700 songs now...\\xa0next page\\u2026.\\nIf I hadn't recorded a demo of those early efforts, I may never have carried on writing and recording my songs. I'm so pleased I have.\\xa0\\nIn this episode, as usual, I talk about where this song came from. I look at the song from a musical view point, the lyrics, etc. In this case it\\u2019s an early effort, so looking back I can see my lyric writing style has developed. \\nThis song is about the perspective that can be gained you get some time to yourself.\\nBe entertained & informed as you join me on a journey of discussion and discovery looking at the song 'Missed Me'.\\xa0\\nRecorded by myself, Paul Dredge and Earl Pollard (R.I.P), Missed Me finally got recorded (in one take) in a studio in Melbourne quite a number of years later.\\xa0\\nIn this episode I also talk about how I got to the point where I started writing lyrics, then got my piano playing up to the point where my hands would just natural flow from one chord to the next confidently, in a musically confident way...and a song took shape.\\nIt\\u2019s fun playing the piano in between my talking. I sing and play parts of the song to draw attention to certain aspects of songwriting. \\nSo, ever wondered where a song comes from? It\\u2019s really just a bunch of simple steps. Along the way, intuitive decisions are made as it\\u2019s moulded into a form. That's the complicated part, when you analyse the process. But it\\u2019s so much fun at the time because it\\u2019s all done with a sense of play and exploration - much like podcast episodes! \\xa0 \\xa0\\nSit back and enjoy.\\nYou can stream my music on your favourite streaming service.
