All By Myself

A person singing a song, unaccompanied, is as simple as it gets.

Add more to the mix and things can get complicated. But potentially more interesting. A symphony orchestra is almost a corporation of sound, involving masses of organisation, a multitude of technically skilled players, countless hours of training and, to make it all work and bring it together, charismatic leadership.

Then there’s everything in between. And it’s all good as far I’m concerned.

A song, with a melody and a lyric, doesn’t really care how it is performed. And we, the listeners, can appreciate it in all its many manifestations.

But a good song is always comfortable in it’s own company.
