Another song to dive into - this time with a nice blether beforehand with my dear pal Marcus. This was a sort of 'proof of concept', a way to frame songs that would immediately eliminate folk who prefer to consume music in 30 second snatches (no disrespect to them, obviously) - we both liked the blether, and I do like the concept. I'm also, for what it's worth, very happy with this particular song. This would be a chance for interested folk to step up and let us know whether they might enjoy more of these, though I'm aware that all the platforms I can share this on have FAR MORE URGENT JOBS FOR YOU TO DO, so no blame attached if you can't: but if you ever worry whether or not your online activism makes a difference, I can guarantee that personal responses to art make a huge, potentially career-defining difference, whilst flinging articles about the evils of the world at a numb, saturated public probably doesn't. Anyway - hope you enjoy this.
Enjoyed that ... think I might have heard that song before, maybe at Shambellie, but the pre-song discussion added something. This said, I've put up a few songs of my own in which I do a kind of folk song introduction, slightly rambling and discursive on the theme of the song and its origins, and feedback so far is telling me that I should just get on with the song. Aside from a general shortness of attention span, I think this impatience probably has something to do with the YouTube Video framing, and the need to set aside time to watch and listen. Maybe a podcast, which you can listen to on the go might appeal to many, but there's no reason why both options couldn't be available - (and maybe already are if I could only understand the tech.)
