A Song For Every Eventuality

A Song For Every Eventuality.

That’s a kind of aim I have in my writing. More realistically, I really don’t want to limit the subject matter.

When it comes to the songs I write…well, you know what it’s like, if you write… don’t mess with The Muse. Just go where she or he takes you. But definitely don’t go putting down any daft restrictions.

Apart from anything else, you’ll have a lot less fun. The mystery and uncertainty are undoubtedly a big part of the joy of songwriting.

What’s going to turn up today?

So, anyway, I’m playing at a wee eclectic, arty open mic night for the third time this evening. It’s called The Gather. And I’ve just remembered a song I wrote that has got a bit lost in the mists of time. It’s called The Gathering.

Yay! I appear to have a song that just about fits this eventuality anyway.
