Hopefully what I’ll have here is a little underside of the internet where I jot down about my two greatest passions: books and songs. Words construct both books and songs, and of course you have to add melody, notes, instruments, vocals, to make a song. Sometimes the books will be about music or musicians (fictional or real), or sometimes the bands and songs will have mentions of the literary. Or wherever else they want to bleed into and influence each other.
I was an English major, Creative Writing minor in college, and I still pursue writing fiction and lines strung together that can’t be called poetry. I played the violin for almost eight years, from second to eighth grade, and contemplate lately picking up an acoustic guitar that is currently sitting in a corner. I was not blessed with the church choir vocals that other family members were. In both the literary and the musical, I consider myself a geek fan with aspirations.
The title of this blog comes from a song that made me catch my breath the first time I heard it, by one of my favorite bands ever: Thursday ‘The Lovesong Writer’: More on them later. Several times later likely.
And yes, I am aware LargeHeartedBoy exists and I love it!
