Music to me needs to be honest. The way I write.....if it's forced then I end up giving up on a song. It wasn’t meant to be written yet. Or maybe I'm not saying what it is I really want to say.
I have catalogues of songs that are only 30 seconds long. And then one day I find myself with a song that seems to have poured out of me. It's so precise, so EXACTLY what it was meant to be. And all I want to do is call up all the people in my phonebook and tell them about it.
I come from a small fishing village on the south coast of England...lived in the same house my whole 19 years on this earth, and I think it speaks to the way I am. I run from change.
And I hate goodbyes.
(But I like to think it’s these things that make life more interesting.)
So what captures me?
Words...melodies...harmonies.
I love that catchy little bit they call the "hook", that makes me want to grin when I hear it.
Just...bring a simple song.
-And so the journey continues. : )
