Comment : Facinating musings Fawn: I've heard you sing If you have a sreect and my take was an intimate sort forbidden love', do we dare' kind of feeling or even I've a sreect crush on you know who tee hee, oh no kind of thing. The song has vulnerability in it so there's kind of a double on that performing it. It's a tribute to how good you are that it can be interpreted in many ways: art is like that, it's a search for truth which is never really found, maybe a little in individual ways but the search is the thing. Find Harold Pinters nobel acceptance speech 05 I think, brilliant essay on that and other stuff, it really helped me clarify why I do what I do.How does one sing say a murder ballad? And be sincere? it is possible ( no I'm not a murderer to I've met some) my approach is from theatre which is how I came to music; creating characters from experience, observation and imagination. I have created and played a character in a play (more than once) that I really did not like, almost hated even. But I took pleasure in giving a voice to him, finding some good qualities, some humanity in amongst the crap and there's always so many reasons why to quote Phil Ochs. And of course the character is part of a story that I'm telling, or part of telling. A song is a little short story, we're the narraters. |
