22 Jun 19 - 05:30 PM (#3997431) Subject: Anne Lister - new song 'Small Ways' From: Anne Lister Friends will know that I never normally do this - but I have a new song, which has been prompted by "Good Omens", "Lucifer" and "Rocketman" as well as other people and events which will be clear from the song. It's not a totally finished piece of crafted art yet, but I'd quite like it to travel around a bit so if you agree with it, please pass it on. It's called Small Ways to Fight the Devil |

22 Jun 19 - 06:04 PM (#3997433) Subject: RE: Anne Lister - new song 'Small Ways' From: ChanteyLass Thank you, Anne. I like it and agree with it. I'll post a link on my Facebook page. I went to a house concert in Providence on Thursday to hear Windborne, a quartet that sings lovely harmonies. Most songs were in English, but several were in other languages, including Occitan. http://www.windbornesingers.com/ |

23 Jun 19 - 05:02 AM (#3997472) Subject: RE: Anne Lister - new song 'Small Ways' From: MoorleyMan What a lovely song, Anne, and thanks for sharing it. Yes, Chantey Lass, Windborne Singers are brilliant, I discovered them a couple of years go. But I can't see any connection with the subject of this thread, so maybe Joe you could split it and give them a separate thread of their own? |
23 Jun 19 - 12:42 PM (#3997530) Subject: RE: Anne Lister - new song 'Small Ways' From: Anne Lister I think the connection to the Windborne Singers was the mutual interest in Occitan, although that connection isn't evident from this thread! Thank you for the appreciative comments, all of you. |

24 Jun 19 - 05:07 PM (#3997687) Subject: RE: Anne Lister - new song 'Small Ways' From: Anne Lister Happy for anyone to link to it - would also be happy for any musicians who'd like to help sort out a full arrangement! May try to add this to the forthcoming album, and heading to the studio in a week's time when this might happen. |

26 Jun 19 - 08:02 PM (#3997969) Subject: RE: Anne Lister - new song 'Small Ways' From: ChanteyLass Yes, Anne, Occitan is what made my thoughts jump from you to Windborne. Moorley Man, I'm sorry I didn't make that clear. And I do like your new song. Please let us know how it progresses. |

27 Jun 19 - 11:51 AM (#3998038) Subject: RE: Anne Lister - new song 'Small Ways' From: Anne Lister In view of the feedback, and also bearing in mind the topicality of the song I will attempt to record it for the new album. I'm still hoping that by the time the new album is available to the wide world of listeners we'll have somehow achieved saner governments on both sides of the Atlantic, but that is just me being an insane optimist. So - just one more recording session, and then it's down to mixing and mastering, and possibly making some tough decisions about leaving stuff off the physical album (but keeping them available digitally). More announcements in due course! |
