I was wittering away on Twitter today, following joe the publicist and his ten book give away, wondering how he is going to go about giving them away. I was listening to some music and woah, the next thing I have a starburst of an idea. Under no illusions that it only got a tad sparkley in my own wee world, regardless...the idea.....
Stolen Lyrics. Ok Ok I'm getting there. I started thinking what snippets of Lyrics would appeal to me as the title of a book that I would find my eye drawn too in Waterstones or Asda for that matter. That I would think hey! that looks good. So here's a few I came up with:
'If My Thought Dreams Could Be Seen'...Bob Dylan
'And I Will Never, Ever Grow So Old Again'.. Van Morrison
'But Not The Same'...U2
'Before The Glow of Morning'.....Barbara Dickson ( run like the wind)
'Gimme The Beat Boys'...(drift away)..like the Michael Bolton version
'Feeling Half-Past Dead'...(the weight) The Band
'Throwing Caution To The Wind I'll Run Free Too' ...(wild horses) Natasha Bedingfield
'It's A Mess, It's A Start'...(take back the city) Snow Patrol
'I'm Aware I'm Alive'...Snow Patrol again.. (chocolate)
And that is a tiny fraction, I could go on and on. I just know that for me music is very often the inspiration behind any artistic endevours. Melody anf lyric light a spark. They enthuse me. Hmmmmmm...'a magic trick makes the world disappear'.

Strangely enough I am going to post later today about lyrics. I find some really stick with you and you find them going over and over in your head when you least expect them. Sometimes they have real meaning too.

Lynne, you've always got lyrics in your head dear and here's a small selection;-)
I'm walking backwards for Christmas, over the Irish Sea.....
Postman Pat, Postman Pat, Postman Pat and his black and white cat....
The thundering train came down the track and she blew.....
