Publisher's Synopsis
The goal which I set myself, in Block 3 of the Monday Morning Writers' Cafe, was to write 12 songs. For inspiration I would sparingly use lines from the poems in The Gregory Poems 1985-1986, which I had taken with me to an OU summer school around that time. The writing of the words, for both the choruses and the verses, came fairly easy, that is until the singing part; I could not sing, every song I sang sounded exactly the same. The group said they thought that as poems they were indeed beautiful love poems, and that they cared for these recordings, but they knew not how I could turn them into songs. I have had musicians turn my words into songs before, and at university I remember saying that I was a big big fan of collaboration. So, if you would like to collaborate with me, and help to turn these poems into the songs they should have been then please get in touch: [email protected]
