Thread Name: What Three Words Folksong Rewrites
Subject: RE: What Three Words Folksong Rewrites
It suddenly struck me tonight that "what three words" is an excellent song writing resource.
On the lines of Brian Eno's random cards, some "what three words addresses are definately able to jog the brain into an unexpected mental picture and thence into a story or else a song.
I was researching the history of turnpike roads in Rossendale and came across person.piled.cemented, which made me think about those rumours of bodies being incarcerated in the Chiswick Flyover concrete supports. I soon found other word combinations that seemed to tell a story.
Perhaps we could have a "what three words" song competition?
