I was running through a song in my head this evening, feeling quite anxious about how many verses there were & whether I'd remember them all in the right order. Then I thought "or I could do Bill Brown"; I felt totally confident about that, despite not being able to think of a single line of it beyond the first verse - I knew that once I got started the rest would come. (I didn't do either of them in the end.)

Learning songs is a complete mystery to me - with the right song I can go from reading the lines off a sheet of paper to knowing it inside out in two or three repetitions. I just hope it doesn't desert me any time soon.
