(There Will Always Be) Another Day

Episode #34: (There’ll Always Be) Another Day - (Song at 9:10) Hi there, welcome! How would you like to sit back and have a listen to a songwriter speak? Now's your opportunity. I'm sitting at my piano - which I noodle away on - sometimes a little absently, as I speak. I also use the piano to demonstrate aspects of what I'm talking about.  And what I'm talking about this week Is song #584: Another day.. Where did it come from? Neil the lead guitarist in our band suggested it: “Pete, there's so many songs about winning... What about one about ...losing.  I think it'd be a winner!" Ha. He's got a dry sense of humour, has Neil.  I also talk about the idea of participation being the important thing. Success is.. what it is.. along the way.   I like to turn things around to the positive, best I can, so I couldn't help myself: I gave it an uplifting twist at the end. Perhaps I failed at writing a song about failure!  The demo itself has a good feeling about it. The band have had a dabble with this song here. It hasn't made it on an album yet, but I think it will not far away. It's been another episode of exploration, opening up... As an artist, you can come across as sounding a bit .. Vulnerable. And I think that's important. You're honest about your feelings, you're inviting the listener in.  Which is precisely what I'm doing here. Tune in now, hear some new music... ( I’m loving sharing my music this way and talking about it ). I hope you enjoy this week's episode... And if you do, there's another 30 odd episodes here..that means 30 odd new songs.. Please leave a favourable comment / tell your friends / share this far and wide -  thank you in advance! Enjoy.  By the way, If you'd like to find out more about my art and music, there's quite a bit online, including:  www.petepascoe.com website  Blog www.petepascoe.wordpress.com ( creations in music and art) - not a bad place to start-  it's a weekly blog (which you can sign up to).

Om Podcasten

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.
