Sometimes cliches are the right choices. smile

I've very much got your style, and I enjoyed the listen.

Hi David,

Thanks for noticing the lyrics. I spend a lot of time listening to old songs, and I think the language has rubbed off onto me a bit. My favourite period of music is Tin Pan Alley from 1920 – 1950. I have no idea how my brain ended up feeling comfortable with songs from that period because I grew up with my parents listening to Australian Country music. I must have been rebellious, I guess.

Thanks for dropping in. It's always good to see you.

Hi floyd.

It's always a pleasure to see you. Thank you for taking the time to visit and listen. Also, thanks for mentioning the rhymes. When I wrote these lyrics, I didn't worry too much about obvious rhymes. I set out trying to find sounds that linked words together and to see if I could put them into a story of some kind. For these reasons, assonance, consonance and rhymes were the main tools I worked with. Everything else was just massaged into place to try and get something coherent.

Thanks again,
--Noel

Hi James,

It is always terrific to see you. I hate to disillusion you, but I've been called many things over the years and "genius" is definitely not one of them smile I'm really glad that you liked the song. Thank you for passing through and staying long enough to have a listen and comment. Very much appreciated.
