'People ask me what music I listen to. I listen to traffic and birds singing and breathing. And fire engines. I always used to listen to the water pipes at night when the lights were off, and they played tunes.'
'Half the musical ideas I've had have been accidental. The first time I discovered backwards guitar was when we made 'Rain'. This was a song I wrote about people moaning about the weather all the time.' [John Lennon]
No one has beaten the greatness of The Beatles yet.
ReplyDeleteI've tagged you for a book meme.
I'll be there shortly.
ReplyDeleteJohn lives on in his words.
ReplyDeleteJust the best. Thanks for that James.
ReplyDeleteI love that top photo of the rain, but the song makes me think about the photo in reverse ;-)
ReplyDeleteVery nostalgic today!
ReplyDeleteI love the third picture. Until today, I always get emotional when I watch the sea in the night. It feels like you're alone and it scares you to death, but then you realized that you're addicted to it.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, thank you for visiting my blogs. I noticed that you wrote a great novel. And that one of the character is the Indonesian lady you met on the flight? Did she tells you interesting things about Indonesia?
Bahasa is quite easy to learn, so the foreigner said to me. Hehe. I'd be happy to teach you if you want. :D
Love your site but as your poems are in Bahasa it's difficult. So, if you'll teach me some ...
ReplyDeleteAs for Frederika, it was on Garuda and she told me lots about her family and other things and some Bahasa. I miss her a lot.
Glad you saw that in my novel although I make her a hard girl in the book and she wasn't really. Don't know why I did that.
Winfred - thanks so much for visiting.
ReplyDeleteSwearing mother - my pleasure.
Cherie Pie - I understand.
Welshcakes - yes, that's true. It's an atmospheric song.
Simply the best.
