Thread Name: Writing songs in your sleep
Subject: RE: Writing songs in your sleep
Between sleep and waking one morning a phrase came to me:
"Death micht be jist like settin oot upon the road again,
but what's further doon this road I dinna ken."

It was the basis for my song, "My Dear Auld Frien" which is about two old Scottish travelling people. The idea being that there was a parallel between the life of a traveller, and death. Always setting out on the road, not knowing exactly where they were going to be at the end of the day.
