the first sunday of lent

It is Lent again, and as always for Lent I give up notwriting, and I write something everyday. Writing a sentence still counts, as does editing existing work or writing the music for some existing lyrics, though a whole song is advisable, or a story, or a paragraph of a story / verse of a song.

This is my Lent diary so far. When I'm a bit more comfortable with these I will put some listenable recordings up.

LENT 2013

CLEAN MONDAY

Songs written with Fellswoop : THE HOME SONG, DIVOT IN YOUR HEART

darling whenever
the wind shakes the heather

a hole in the pavement trips you up

SHROVE TUESDAY

Wrote melody and guitar part for WISHING WELL (lyrics I wrote a few days earlier, then workingtitled DEATH BY DROWNING)

the interlocking web of teardrops

13/2
ASH WEDNESDAY

Wrote a song, 'CHARM'; just the lyrics and a vague sense of the melody

for sinners we’re beginners
but we’ll learn quickly

14/2
FEAST OF ST VALENTINE
Wrote a song, 'BE MY VALENTINE MRS MILESAWAY'

a little time in space

15/2

a meteorite explodes in Russia

recorded / wrote music for BE MY VALENTINE MRS MILESAWAY

16/2

mixed messages from the universe

17/2
FIRST SUNDAY OF LENT

wrote melody for / recorded (accapella) CHARM - renamed it SINNERS

then, later, wrote the guitar part - just realised it's quite similar to the melody for the Valentine song - that is the danger of Lent, especially when you don't have access to instruments...

wrote two verses, something as yet unnamed

inkblots face off blank stares
