I very rarely get around to listening to the tunes until the Tuesday or Wednesday following them getting posted, but after listening to your anti-war set and really liking it, I had to have a little sneak listen. Suicide is not an easy subject to talk about and you did it with great sincerity, openness and kindness of spirit here. I have lost three friends to suicide here in the West of Ireland over the years, and many others who I knew, so I have seen the pain and suffering that surrounds it, as well as the pain and suffering the precedes it.
Well done and doing the other songs justice and fine artists they were and you did them very well, but my favorite in the set is the Fairy and the Fly. It is tragic, yet beautiful at the same time and musically it is just brilliant.
I must say it is a really great to have you joining us on ThreeTuneTuesday and long may it last, I'm already looking forward to next week's set.
Hello! Yes, a very tough theme. I shared a cover of "How to Save a Life" recently which made me remember that all of these songs also go there and challenge me. I can often fall back into "rescuer" mode and it doesn't help knowing that you can lose people from this world entirely... But I can't save people until they save themselves and only need a bit of support anyway...
Fairy and the Fly was one of my first original songs and flowed out of me and onto the page very easily and quickly... I still don't know why.
I'm also looking forward to next week! There's options as to which theme I choose next!
