Tom,
This is outstanding! I've read through all the above posts and you deserve every one of the many accolades and compliments. Everything about 'The Dash' gleams.
The idea of creating a song about the hyphen between dates was really fresh to my ears. I've never heard any lyrics like these before. And such a powerfully true statement, too. To my way of thinking, this composition epitomises talent, creativity and musicianship.
It’s the dash that counts...
What matters most is in between those years
I can't remember hearing any philosophical thought that has resonated so much with me as the above.
I'm heading back to listen again!
Regards,
Noel
