Opera House

I featured Cigarettes After Sex earlier this year with their song “Apocalypse.” Tonight, I see them live at The Danforth Music Hall, a small venue in the city originally built as a movie theatre in 1919. It was never an opera house, but it gained the “music hall” status when it started featuring live acts in the...Continue reading Opera House →

WRECKED ~ A story written with Bill Kirton for @RBwood’s Word Count Podcast

The image entitled “Six Months of Winter” was the prompt for episode #74 of  R.B. Wood’s WordCount Podcast. At the time Richard posted the picture, he was experiencing awful winter weather in New England. I think he continues to give us ‘icy’ themes just to torture us.

Everybody Hurts

I first learned of The Corrs while in London to see Jeff Beck at Royal Albert Hall. Sharon Corr accompanied Beck for a number, and they played beautifully together. This unplugged version of REM’s song is both touching and beautiful. When your day is long and the night The night is yours alone When you...Continue reading Everybody Hurts →

I Love the Way You Lie

I happened upon this song while searching for another on Youtube; the lyrics spoke to me. Have you ever been hurt by someone because of unrealistic expectations of that person? On the first page of our story The future seemed so bright Then this thing turned out so evil I don’t know why I’m still...Continue reading I Love the Way You Lie →

Wherever I Go

“Wherever I Go” speaks to me of shedding things from our past, whether they be people, ideas, or something else. Maybe I’m bound to wander From one place to the next Heaven knows why But in the wild blue yonder Your star is fixed In my sky Mark Knopfler is a master of lyrics and...Continue reading Wherever I Go →

Ghost of You

I heard this song while waiting for a friend in a restaurant. It was a busy place, but the lyrics and melody spoke to me above all the background noise. The tune was unfamiliar, so before the place got any louder, I pulled out my phone and Shazam-ed the name and artist of the song. I...Continue reading Ghost of You →

Crossing Over ~ A story for @RBwood’s #WordCountPodcast

The image titled “Over the Bridge” was the prompt for this episode of  R.B. Wood’s WordCount Podcast. My story inspiration In the photo, I see a mystery man walking away from me.  A bridge is a wonderful metaphor for many things, and in the case of my story called “Crossing Over,” I wanted the bridge ...Continue reading Crossing Over ~ A story for @RBwood’s #WordCountPodcast →

Nothing Stays the Same

How true it is that nothing stays the same. This song by Luke Sital-Singh, whom I featured at the beginning of the year with “Benediction” speaks to the impermanence of life. Cry your eyes out Fill your lungs up We all hurt We all lie And nothing stays the same Oh, oh, oh dear life...Continue reading Nothing Stays the Same →
