How does poetry get into song? Sometimes a poem demands to be sung, Graves, One Hard Look. Often, a process starts. I was thinking about different ways poets have spoken of love, pain of separation is paramount. A letter written by Eleanor Marx, “were I a bird, I would fly to you.”, so it begins

Graves joined Royal Welch Fusiliers August 1914 & the regiment’s mascot was a goat. Goodbye To All That inc., some sad pictures of regimental goat at the front. When wild Great Orme goats came down into Llandudno during lock down, the contrast was stark, hence Ballad of Wales Wild Goat, Spotify.

The #poem One Hard Look (1920) gives an insight into Graves mental state:

“One smile relieves a heart that grieves
Although, deadly sad it be.
One harsh look can close the book
A lover loves to see”

I’ve set this to music with simple picking of my Spanish guitar.

At first sight, a straightforward account of a young officer’s experience of WW1, including battle of the Somme (1916), but the author is deeply traumatised and seeks an escape from British society and convention. #poem #welsh #war #sassoon #siegfried #harlech

Shanghai Blues

#Shanghai #jazz clubs of the1920s, the late night drinking. A cool #scene with a dark side, glamorous, but morning revealed sadness.

Memories go floating back now to #Liverpool #China Town drinking dens, with their deep booths, dimly lit and curtained #Montrachet.

When your #cat dies you loose a friend & all those playful times & quiet moments you’ve shared. It hits you & that’s when I started writing this song. Singing is a great therapy &, yeah, it helped me.

Take a listen and leave me a comment #catlover #blackcat #vet
