An SWR Challenge! 🎧🎤🎸😀
Posted by Fletch on October 14, 2022 at 8:23 amSo I was challenged…! I had to try and write a tune that wasn’t sad…! “You mean like happy…? Really…!” So here’s my attempt, the latest SWR original, ‘Pelagia’. With @JulieI on Lead Electrickery and @stevep on Mandolin (and yet again proving he’s not a muggle like the rest of us). There’s a strong literal influence in this one, I hope you enjoy it. I tried…! 🎧🎤🎸😀 https://youtu.be/hhyYAO4Pbswhttps://youtu.be/hhyYAO4Pbsw

Lyrics…
Love is a passing madness
A volcano in your path
Taking over your senses
A burning in your heart
But when the fire passes
We have choices to make
Are the roots so entwined
They’re impossible to break
For that is,
What Love is
And when you dance, I could watch you, forever
When you dance, I’m entranced, my Pelagia
Love is not breathlessness,
Or excitement when you meet
It’s not vowels and promises
Nor passionate heat
It’s not a desire
To make love night and day
Or lying awake imagining
Being touched in that way
That’s just ‘being in love’
Which any fool can do
And when I play, I’ll feel this way, forever
When I play, you’ll always stay, my Pelagia
Love is what remains
It’s the feelings that stay
When the flames of ‘being in love’
Have all burned away
Love is both art
And a twist of fate
And when you Dance, I could watch you, forever
When you Dance, I’m entranced, my Pelagia
And when I play, I’ll feel this way, forever
When I play, you’ll always stay, my Pelagia
When your in love
Anything is possible
And when you Dance, I could watch you, forever
When you Dance, I’m entranced, my Pelagia
And when I play, I’ll feel this way, forever
When I play, you’ll always stay, my Pelagia
My Pelagia

Thanks BIG Bill… 🙏
Oh…”But Fletch, I have to say that “love” as a subject for a song is rarely cheerful“…
I’d like to argue the point, but I can’t… 🤣
Rule 1 of Love… Never fall for anyone that isn’t meant to be…
Rule 2… Switch you’re ******* brain on…!
Not to sure if you need Rule 1 if Rule 2 is in place… 😁
OK OK I’m getting myself worked up here… I’m off to listen to some S-Club 7 to distract myself….
Reach for the Stars, Follow your heart’s desires….. Ahhhh!!!!
