Tomorrow Today
Episode #11: Tomorrow - Today - (Song at 9:36 & 23:10)\nI committed to writing a song each week years ago. There wasn't \u2018that moment\u2019 where you go:\xa0 "right I'm now going to start writing 700 songs. Nope. It was start-stop. 'The dabble', as it were... I just had feeling, had a go. Then it becomes something more - it gains it's own momentum.\nI think you get lucky early - often - when you take a leap of faith, trust and just have a go. For example, Tomorrow Today is a song that came through very early on\u2026in fact it\u2019s song number one in my songbooks!\nAs I sat in the airport with pretty much a broken heart - and the plane delayed - I could've got pretty worked up. Instead, I got my feelings out by writing the lyrics on the back of my plane ticket. I'm glad I did.\nThe result was less of a \u2018broken heart\u2019 type song and more of a \u2018it can be what you want it to be - reflective\u2019 sort of lyric. \nYou can read the lyrics here, on my (weekly) blog post:\xa0https://petepascoe.wordpress.com/\nThere are 2 versions on this episode. The original demo and a studio track. \nThis song appears on the album 'Righto'\xa0 (https://petepascoe.bandcamp.com/track/tomorrow-today) \nA sense of discovery and love pretty much sums up song writing. I keep my podcast episode recordings very \u2018free\u2019 - no written notes, the idea being that\u2019ll keep me free, \u2018on the breath\u2019. As a result, the things I end up talking about are often a surprise to me.\nEach song is like a ticket back to the feelings, the dreams I had at the time I wrote the song.\nTowards the end of each episode, I look at the song from a songwriting point of view. So each week you\u2019ll get to step into the shoes of a songwriter. \nBack to Tomorrow Today: When I eventually arrived home, my black and white cat (see last weeks\u2019 blog post), sat on my piano. Both seemed to be waiting for me. \nI had a feeling something special was about to happen as I let my hands fall on the piano. The opening riff is what happened. \nHear this - and a very young me singing, sitting at my old piano playing this one. \nEnjoy!
