Run Away (It’s Never Easy)

Episode #25: Run Away (It’s Never Easy) - (Song at 8:10 & 25:00) Songs take you right back to what you were up to at the time when they came into your life, don't they?  When you write a song, a heartfelt song, it seems the effect increases tenfold.  Particularly if you are writing from the heart. And that's what I do... Listening to today's song Run Away (I.N.E.), song number #176, it took me right back in time to when I wrote it.  It's a song about a relationship....if you like lyrics, we dip into the words and see how they came together, what they're about... I introduce: 'Mr piano man, Pete Pascoe' ...I touch on how it is to be a piano man & more than that... You'll get to step into the shoes of a song writer - literally, this time: I demonstrate how I start writing the beginning of a song, As I talk, my fingers rest on the keys and I bring the piano in and out of proceedings. Also you'll get to come on a fishing adventure in the waves at the beach in New Zealand.. Hopefully you'll be entertained , you'll feel informed. And you'll get two versions of the song today!  Grab a cuppa, sit back and come on a trip into another world.  The world of a songwriter.  It's my passion, it's who I am.  You can find more of my music and art here ...plus the usual streaming services. Www.petepascoe,com Www.petepascoe.wordpress.com. Blog magazine style of art and music posts Pete Pascoe art and music YouTube.  Art and music videos, funnily enough.  Enjoy.

Be entertained with a song and an extended chat, ranging from off the cuff banter/humour to life observations and song analysis. Welcome to Song and a Chat. This is the podcast where you'll have the pleasure of listening to a new song each week - plus, you'll get to step into the shoes of a songwriter : You'll hear about the background of the song, the inspiration, how/ why the song came into being.  After the song finishes, I'll go over the lyrics and finish each episode by looking at the song from a songwriting point of view. If you just want the song and no talk, the time where the song kicks in will be in the title of each episode. Hi, my name is Pete Pascoe. I am a performer and composer - I love lyrics and I love a melody. I play piano and sing. I have a number of albums to my name.  I have written over 800 songs. Of course, not all of these songs I written will make it onto an album. As a songwriter, the first step for a new song is ( or was ) to record a demo. Often you catch something unique in this demo - something that is often not replicated in the studio cut....a certain feeling.  If you're looking to be entertained, like listening to new songs and live recordings, I hope you'll enjoy what's on offer here. I have a stack of demos from which I'm sharing one on a weekly basis. Plus I relate anecdotes about my life as a piano man, from around the time each song was written. I treat each show as a mini intimate concert - with extended chat, which ranges from off the cuff banter/humour to life observations and analysis. The idea is : the song can be listened to for pleasure in its own right, or the listener may choose to also be entertained and informed by the story around the song.  I'm really enjoying recording these podcasts. Each week I look forward to getting behind the mic, setting aside my current musical and artistic projects and casting my mind back in time by focussing on a song I've composed. It's turning out to be a satisfying - and sometimes surprising - time of reflection and discovery for me.  The lyrics and the recordings take me straight back to when the song was written. Gain an insight into songwriting and listen to a series of snapshots of life of a songwriter / performer / artist.  It's a great way for me to archive a song and it's 'back story'. Music is to be shared. What point is there In having five songbooks and piles of demos gathering dust?  I welcome feedback - whether you're tuning in to enjoy music for music's sake, you enjoy finding out about the origins of songs, you're looking for tips on songwriting or perhaps you've got tips for me. Either way, I'll be learning plenty as I go along. Thanks for a having a read. Come on and join me for a listen.
