The Song I Cannot Sing
The Song I Cannot Sing
Why can some songs not be sung? Answers on a postcard, please, as you come along to my melody-wrenching, heart-tapping, grief-ridden. Ask yourself: what songs make you weep? Why? Let’s harness the redemptive power of words and music to bridge over your own troubled waters. Coming to a festival near you soon. f/williamgeorgeq t @WilliamGeorgeQ
“Welcome to The Song I Cannot Sing: and depending on how we get on, at the end of the show, I’ll sing a bit of it. I might. I might not. At age 25, I wanted to sing, but I gave up. The reasons I’ll explore throughout the show, but one was stumbling on a song I could not sing. I’ll tell the story of that song: a story I haven’t told; but I have to tell, or else remain a four year old, trapped in loss & grief.”
Why can some songs not be sung? What are the reasons? The audience can suggest answers to help me find the real reason.
Do songs make you weep?
Follow my travels through singing lessons, songwriting studies, performances disaster and novelistic ambitions. I’ll assemble a panel of song titles for the audience to choose from, as I travel through death songs and death poems I’ve gathered over the years, discuss how I’ve learned to sing with an open heart, and seek out that song I cannot sing.
