I call it ‘maintaining my frequency’, or how best to keep a clear head and not lose your mind. Also I am sharing the bits and bobs I learnt from my Mother and Granny G, founding member of TLC Alzheimer’s Homes. Many things are asked or demanded from all of us…so the necessity of being […]
Basically what this song says is….hell, I love you so much. Why must I love you so much? There’s the Moon and all my longing. Yet this music, this song is all I have to give you. On a serious note it was composed by Lionel Bastos and you can hunt him down if you […]
This blog post deals with music, money, men…and the unfortunate mantra I silently repeat as I compose music, walk into a room and lounge in the arms of a delicious man. So let me give it to you straight. I am not the kind of person who walks into any space and with my […]
Again, just sharing some bits and bobs from the book I wrote. Some say it is a bit too…what’s the word…esoteric, vague in places. But I will share nevertheless. And yes, I do on occasion share these thoughts with my daughter. I do not know if the kid pays attention though! ** […]
This song can be found on my Call it Love album. Originally it had another verse but I opted to remove it so it would not end as badly. Enjoy and purchase it online if you fancy it.
In the wake of Winnie Mandela’s death only this remains with me. Love is the ultimate Revolutionary Act. The fierceness of Inspired Love unleashes primal forces that roar under our skin. Inspired Love gives us the courage to rage against the darkness, unchain ourselves from our past and gravitate towards something that feels better; something […]
Musicians really do have a lot of fun! If only achieving intimacy, joy and happiness offstage could be as easy as finding the right chord progression or lyrics to a song. Whether we want to admit it or not we are all influenced by external factors,whether it’s the experience of others, our own dark past […]
Not all songs written have to end up on an album or cd so I thought I would share. This was recorded on the fly, a short song. Don’t judge me with your producer’s ears. Inspired by…starling murmurations, which someone called black magic sun on social media. And uhm… well, that sparked all manner of ideas. […]
Everyone wants to be an ‘influencer’ and get paid for it. Companies employ ‘celebrities’ to be a walking talking advert. Stroll into a club wearing this, drinking that drank – hoping the ‘masses’ care enough to follow. This idea is sold to our kids as being ‘aspirational’. To a certain extent it has merit for […]
All I can do is do is share what I have learnt – limited as it is. It is not aimed at musicians per se – but anyone who wants to live…artfully. I have made my fair share of mistakes in this regard. I hope it helps in some way.
