Windsinger Songwriting (74* d) RE: Songwriting 27 Feb 06


That's a good rule. :) IIRC, it was pretty much Tolkien and C. S. Lewis' personal dictum -- although in their case it applied to literature not music.

songs that I wish I had written but some bugger went and did it before me and better than me

Back around 1990 Loreena McKennit's music started becoming available in the States. She was still pretty obscure at that point; enough so that anyone stumbling onto the material was still blown away by the total freshness and originality of her style.

There's a few of her pieces from that period that made me feel the same darned way -- mad enough to SPIT that I couldn't/didn't write 'em first!

Slán,
