Original
b"Episode #49: Original\\xa0 \\xa0(Song at 6.24)\\nHi, I'm Pete Pascoe. I'm a songwriter (800+songs), a painter, a pianist, cartoonist and a writer. I'm enjoying recording these episodes, talking about the creative song writing process that goes on...amongst other things.\\nWelcome to another episode of exploration, experimentation, information and fun...\\nThis is the podcast where I feature a demo of a song I've composed. Each week, I endeavour to shed some light on where these songs come from.\\xa0\\nIt's a fascinating thing for me, analysing the process. It's often surprising to me just how much I can remember\\xa0about how the lyrics and the music came together. I just follow my nose on these episodes, there's very little structure and I think this allows for freedom of thought - creative thought- which is exactly what's required to explain some of this business.\\nIn this week's episode, I touch on self development, how that process can be enhanced, helped, etc by following a creative path.\\xa0\\nI'm fully on that path. I'm very grateful that I've managed to hang onto the freedom I had as a child - freedom of thought and freedom in terms of what I choose to get up to with my life.\\xa0\\nIn this week's blog post, I've written about it. The importance of getting outside, away from the Internet, etc.\\xa0\\nThe song Original (song# 291) returns to that theme. In amongst some big picture sort of global conflicts/events It talks about the importance of finding your own path - it certainly doesn't have to be at odds with society, but I think ideally we need to live a life that is...an honest one. An original one.\\nAs we grow, our world view grows and we change our views. This song was written by a relatively young person, finding his way in his twenties.\\xa0\\nThere's lots of songwriting tips, there's humour, life observations....you get the picture. \\nThanks for tuning in. I hope you enjoy the music and I hope you enjoy the chat.\\nHere\\u2019s the link to my blog post which has the lyrics from Original and this week\\u2019s painting on it, plus a bit more.\\xa0 www.petepascoe.wordpress.com\\xa0 enjoy"
