And the Judotter FINALLY posts a new podcast…
About time.
I featured two tracks on the 4th installment of my podcasts.
Second album contender, “Moth To Flame” and “We Loved (Like Love Was A Religion)”. Both tracks were inspired by an ex lover whose name shall remain unmentioned for the good of my heart.
An unscheduled encounter with the unmentioned ex inspired a whole barrage of poems, drawings which are more like doodles really (refer to picture below) and a long string of tragic love songs (most of which will not end up in the album on the grounds of being too depressing).
“Moth To Flame” has instantly become one of my favourite tracks in the upcoming album. I’ve been crazily obsessed with the tragically romantic notion of how moths are attracted to flame. Much like how most of us are, similarly, to our unhealthy love lives. Nothing thrills a depressingly dark singer songwriter the way tragic romantic notions do. So writing a song with that premise in mind was quite a breeze.
“We Loved (Like Love Was A Religion)” was a branch of a poem I wrote previously titled “Home”. My favourite line from that poem which did not end up on the song is, “If home is where my heart is, my home is you…”
Pee did a fabulous piece of work with that poem and the picture of it is permanently pinned on my blog. I shall leave it there till we come up with another collaboration. Soon, I hope!
