It's Always You

A Curious Child

Today’s Podcast “It’s Always You” explores the song (It's Always You) and the subject, of searching out the precious moments in every day life. I stumble upon these moments today while playing music, on stage, in the studio, in the midst of a crowd or by myself… in the same way that I might do in a quiet contemplative prayer time. It is in the practical process of making music that I find an entrance into a spiritual domain; simply through the picking of a few notes, the strumming of a few chords, the humming of a simple melody. A day or two without these moments, these precious real moments of wonder, my soul begins to murmur, like the rumbling of a tummy… ‘feed me’ it says. It’s within a moment of being alone that a new song like this one can be birthed, a creation that sounds fresh, a piece of art that is life giving. It’s nothing like the music I might play in the noise of expectations, within the clutter of the market place or the likes and approvals of what already is. Without the true precious moments, I am merely a poor carbon copy of another's invention… and, if I am not careful, I become trapped in the prison of someone else’s thoughts or experiences and, I lose the ability to imagine, to experiment, to create something of my own. For in my own precious moments I am fearless… to be me.
