Tenderness
May 17, 2022 01:34 - 31 minutes - 22 MBEpisode #113: Tenderness (Strongest Memories) (Song starts at 5:17 ) This song came along when I was sitting at the piano, letting my hands wander on the keys. Some nice chords came through. I opened my eyes, looked up and saw the seascape painting hanging above the piano. On this episode, I read an excerpt from an old diary. I thought for a change I'd try it. The very page I opened to happened to be the week I recorded my first podcast episode. Bizarre. And it includes my statement where I...
Made It Through
May 10, 2022 02:49 - 33 minutes - 22.9 MBEpisode #112: Made It Through (Song starts at 7:31) This song caught my eye to feature in this week’s episode. Each week when it comes time to record another episode, I enjoy just going with the flow. I leap in there and see what happens. The threads appear as I go along and we just sort of see where chatting about the song takes us each week. It's always a fun and there are always pleasant surprises. Sometimes my songs are based on reality, sometimes they're sort of ‘made up’. The lyric...
With You
May 05, 2022 04:40 - 32 minutes - 22.4 MBEpisode #111: With You (song starts at 2:45) This episode features a song I wrote in 1993. Song #309 jumped out of my song book this week. I haven't played this - or thought about it for that matter - for years, for some reason. Perhaps this is a 'universal' love song for someone....for someone (if that makes sense). It also talks about a higher love that I think can be found (rediscovered - a bit like me rediscovering this song) during our time on earth. I had to make sure I could still ...
Lonely Path
April 25, 2022 00:41 - 31 minutes - 21.6 MBEpisode #110: Lonely Path (Song starts at 7:03) I enjoyed singing and playing Lonely Path live for today's episode. I do this sometimes. Other times I'll select an old demo or maybe an album track. It adds variety along the way. It's all a work in progress. I played a gig today - and yesterday - at the village green. It's a small village. A very nice community farmers market was on today. I'd shut my eyes as I started off singing and opened them after a couple of songs. I found myself pre...
You Can Hurt Them Worse (by leaving things unsaid)
April 21, 2022 04:35 - 32 minutes - 22.1 MBEpisode #109: You Can Hurt Them Worse (by leaving things unsaid) (song starts at 6:37) There are so many different places to start writing a song. Number one would be feeling, I would say. You can find it in a space within in yourself where you can be completely honest. That doesn't mean you have to wear your heart on your sleeve or hit prospective listeners over the head with the wet bus ticket of your therapy... But I find that if I write from a place of honesty..the result is: the lyrics ...
You Can Hurt Them Worse
April 21, 2022 04:35 - 32 minutes - 22.1 MBEpisode #109: You Can Hurt Them Worse (song starts at 6:37) There are so many different places to start writing a song. Number one would be feeling, I would say. You can find it in a space within in yourself where you can be completely honest. That doesn't mean you have to wear your heart on your sleeve or hit prospective listeners over the head with the wet bus ticket of your therapy... But I find that if I write from a place of honesty..the result is: the lyrics and the music are going to ...
St Kilda
April 11, 2022 12:01 - 31 minutes - 21.3 MBEpisode #108: St Kilda (Song starts at 7:42) The Autumn weather has turned a little wintery here in Melbourne. I played 6 gigs in 7 days last week, which was pretty major after no gigs in 2 years, with the Covid lockdowns going on. The last 2 gigs I played were over the weekend and that was when the wintery breeze got up. These were outdoor gigs, so it was a bit nippy in the outdoor seated area. It reminded me of the time I was in St Kilda years ago, sitting in a bar after doing an acting ...
Yesterdays Race
April 05, 2022 02:38 - 30 minutes - 21.2 MBEpisode #107: Yesterday’s Race (Song starts 2:48) Hi there. This is the podcast where you can sit back, be entertained and informed and - learn a little about the art of songwriting. I make a point of saying I'm not here to tell you how to write a song- but I am going to share how I write a song. I think it's important to keep an eye on your surroundings. Relaxing, subdued lighting, maybe ‘shining up’ your creative space is a good idea. I have a collection of all sorts of knick- knacks in...
Fingers In The Trees
March 29, 2022 00:39 - 31 minutes - 21.9 MBEpisode #106: Fingers In The Trees (Song starts at 5:52 & 26:00) Autumn is a great time of year. It's a season which really resonates with me for some reason. I was camping in Bright, Victoria recently, camping by a stream (which you'll get to listen to in this episode). The trees were all losing their leaves, the birds singing. The bare fingered trees are the image I had in mind when I wrote the song 'Fingers In The Trees'. The sort of fingers that reach out against the twilight sky, the s...
What’s True To You
March 21, 2022 22:52 - 31 minutes - 21.5 MBEpisode #105: What's True To You (Song starts at 7:00 ) This is the podcast where you're going to get to hear how it feels to be a songwriter, where the featured song of the week came from, some funny stories, etc. The idea being: to entertain and inform - and along the way hopefully shed some light on what is a very interesting creative process. Mistakes are a necessary part of learning. That's what came to me, as I was listening back to the this song, reading through the lyrics. In thi...
As Far As I Can Tell
March 17, 2022 04:58 - 31 minutes - 21.5 MBEpisode #104: As Far As I Can Tell (Song starts at 4:50) Welcome. I love writing songs. There's a 100-odd songs on this podcast, 13 albums on bandcamp, a selection on all the streaming platforms and YouTube channel, etc. One of the reasons I'm these producing these episodes is to help people. I teach, as it turns out. I'm also an artist. The blank canvas can be so confronting...I tell people to just throw some paint on that canvas. Just make a start. That's what I do with songwriting. I ne...
Life’s A Show
March 06, 2022 01:07 - 31 minutes - 21.4 MBEpisode #103: Life’s A Show (song starts at 2:48) On this podcast, I talk a lot about where a song comes from - the beginning. What about the end..where do you draw the line? When is something creative done? When is it finished? Which brings us nicely to the crux of the meaning of 'Life's A Show'. There's a line in the song that says "There's no end" Well, obviously, there comes the day when our number comes up and we check out. That's part of life. Whereas, the great thing about creatin...
Lead The Way
February 28, 2022 02:55 - 32 minutes - 22.4 MBEpisode #102: Lead The Way (Song starts at 3:40) This week’s featured song, Lead The Way, is song #693. There wasn’t a day where I decided I was going to write so many songs. I just committed to composing because I love it. There’s a line in the song that sort of sums it up: 'Like a story that's been written by an artists loving hand’. While the song comes through me, it comes from somewhere else - and this ‘somewhere else’ has energy and intention. That’s the way it feels. I just get ...
Thin Air
February 21, 2022 03:24 - 32 minutes - 22.2 MBEpisode #101: Thin Air (Song starts at 4.18) Welcome to a bit of chat and some music. As usual I'm sitting at the piano, hands on the keys, at the ready to accompany myself as I talk about whatever comes to mind. I imagine it's a bit like playing piano along to a silent movie like they used to... or perhaps like adding music to a movie. It's really good fun. Fun seems to be a big key to unlocking the creative process. I think it does us all good to listen to new music or maybe go to a ga...
Stop
February 14, 2022 03:16 - 32 minutes - 22.5 MBEpisode #100: Stop (Song stars at 7:19) Hi there and ...( cue fanfare) welcome to episode #100! Thank you for coming along with me on this journey. If it's your first time here, you can just leap straight in - the episodes are not sequential. Although if you were to listen back, you'd see that there's been a series of changes as I've gone along. It's all happened naturally. In I think they are the best kind of changes to make. I think it's necessary to stop and reflect in order to make t...
Family Photo
February 08, 2022 12:02 - 29 minutes - 20.3 MBEpisode #99: Family Photo (song starts at 2:37) When I went to record this episode, I actually had another song in mind as went into my studio. But then my hands opened up the book on song #622.. Family Photo. This then lead on to my recording a version of this song, for the 2nd time, as part of the episode. Hey, it keeps it interesting, trying different things. I touched on this in the last episode. In fact I'm really aware of how the creative process is just an ongoing series of change...
This Story (Golden Times)
February 03, 2022 06:30 - 33 minutes - 22.9 MBEpisode #98: This Story (Golden Times) (Song starts at 5:14) Hi there, I see this week's song was written in January 2012. That amazes me. At the time of recording this podcast episode, that is a decade ago. Wow! I think the thing is, when you create something, you are so far 'in there', in the creative zone, it seems you etch this time into your mind the memory. I think this might be because (in my opinion ), if you're doing it 'right', you're basing so much of what you’re doing on….feeli...
This Dream Will Do
January 28, 2022 12:52 - 31 minutes - 21.9 MBEpisode #97: This Dream Will Do (Song starts at 5:24) Hi there, this episode is packed with all sorts. I've been on a holiday, camping beside the ocean for a couple of weeks. It was brilliant. I include some voice recordings I did while I was there. So you get to come on holiday with me on this episode. How does that pertain to songwriting? (I hear you ask). Well, when I go away and have a break, every time I come home and rest my fingers on the keys of my piano it seems there are song...
I’ll Tell You What
January 08, 2022 01:14 - 31 minutes - 21.4 MBEpisode #96: I’ll Tell You What (Song starts at 3:38 ) Sometimes you can really tell nature is talking to you. Birds tell you off for being too close to their nest. I think perhaps nature is talking to us constantly on a more subtle level. That's the crux of today's song. Here's what inspired it: My concern for how out of touch we are with nature. It's a wake up call sort of song. Almost in the mode of a protest song from the 60s, I suppose. On this episode, you'll hear a couple of bir...
Plain Sailing
January 08, 2022 01:04 - 32 minutes - 22.2 MBEpisode #95: Plain Sailing (Song starts at 5:58) Hi there, If it's your first time here, thanks for having a look at my podcast. What will you gain by listening to an episode? My goal is to put you in the shoes of a songwriter. Why would I do that? Well, for a lot of people it seems it's only for the chosen few. At the risk of sounding like I'm attempting to demystify and simplify (which I'm not) what happens to be an extremely subtle art, what I'm doing here is showing some of the ' tr...
Full Moon
January 04, 2022 01:51 - 31 minutes - 21.8 MBEpisode #94: Full Moon (Song starts at 6:18) Here we are again, having a chat & allowing the conversation - the content - to be guided by the song of the week, which in this case is Full Moon, song #353. I wrote the song back in 1995. How does it feel to be a songwriter? It’s a joy. Have a listen again and find out more. I do my best to put the listener into the shoes of a songwriter. I look at the lyrics. There's one line 'justice now sits beneath the microscope'. The strange thing is:...
Summer Sun
December 29, 2021 12:06 - 32 minutes - 22.3 MBEpisode #93: Summer Sun (Song starts at 8:25 ) Welcome to an ‘End Of Year’ / Christmas special. Summer Sun (song # 576), was inspired by a memory of being the waves at the beach - the joy of being in the water, feeling completely free. I've really enjoyed this year of podcasting. In fact, I'd go so far as to say it really helped me during these Covid times. That's the power of the art. I love how I'm connecting with so many people. I've always wanted to bring good stuff into the worl...
Foggy Morning
December 20, 2021 22:18 - 30 minutes - 21.2 MBEpisode #92: Foggy morning (Song starts at 4:47) Hi there, This week's episode features my song 'Foggy Morning (Not A Bird Call)'. This is song #680. I love composing songs. I like talking about the process and enjoy letting each episode wander just where it will, allowing the song to lead the way. It's keeps things interesting and natural. Talking as much about anecdotes, ideas related to the song as I talk about the song writing makes this podcast relaxing and fun - a bit of a ‘chat over a ...
Pictures Falling
December 13, 2021 05:05 - 32 minutes - 22.6 MBEpisode #91: Pictures Falling This has been so much fun, recording these episodes. Long may it continue. This is a pretty peaceful episode…before recording this, I was recording keyboards and mixing 3 songs. Paul Dredge (NZ co-songwriter) and I have another album well on the way. We are bouncing parts back and forth online. This week's song appeared on the album 'Walking Through A Dream'. It's streaming now, a very relaxed listen. If you like guitar, piano, vocal harmony.... Check it out. 'P...
Lost and Won
December 06, 2021 23:00 - 30 minutes - 21.1 MBEpisode #90: Lost and Won (Song starts at 3:12) I composed the song Lost and Won in 2013. You can find it on the piano/vocal album 'Don't Miss The Bus', on my bandcamp website: www.petepascoe.bandcamp.com I like to get to the beach as often as I can. The sounds of nature wash over me when I'm there. It helps to get me into a peaceful state so I'm able to tune into ‘something’ & get creative. You'll hear that process on this episode. I share some of the sounds that came into my day yesterda...
Queen St
November 29, 2021 03:57 - 31 minutes - 21.9 MBEpisode #89 Queen St (Song starts at 6;58) This is the podcast where you get to hear how it feels to be a songwriter. How do I do this? What I do I talk about? The answers seem to come as I follow my nose, as I record what comes into my mind in the moment. As a songwriter, you instinctively know when to jot notes down, when a phrase catches your ear in a certain way. It might be something that someone says in passing, or a sentence or two that just pop into your mind.. For that to happe...
Life Is
November 22, 2021 10:33 - 30 minutes - 20.8 MBEpisode #88: Life Is (Song starts at 4:27) Welcome to another episode. It's great that this podcast is being listened to and enjoyed by listeners around the world. I'm very grateful to you all for tuning in each week. I'm glad you're enjoying it. I guess that's the power of music, the intrigue... The interest in ‘where the heck does a song come from? This week again, we set out to come up with some more ideas about that. It's certainly a journey of rediscovery for me as I look back on...
The Drum
November 15, 2021 09:06 - 31 minutes - 21.9 MBEpisode #87: The Drum (Song starts 5.14) Where did this song come from? The first line is: 'The rocking train challenges my pen to stay upon the page'. Yep, I was on the train when I wrote these lyrics. It feels great to be a songwriter, to close my eyes and just write whatever pops into my mind. I don't question it, I'll just write something, knowing (and it definitely is a 'knowing) that something will 'answer' me. It's exactly like this. It feels like a sense of ‘give and take’, as you ...
The Best Story
November 08, 2021 09:51 - 31 minutes - 21.7 MBEpisode #86: The Best Story (Song starts at 4:38) Hi there. Join me this week, as I go back in time again, to a wooden table and chairs at the local park. This is where I wrote the lyrics for this week's featured song. I break a few songwriting rules with this song. Originally, there was no structure to the sentences - not one rhyme either. It could've remained a poem (I include a reading of the lyrics as a poem on this episode), but something enticed me - against all odds, really - to ...
Made Me Realise
November 01, 2021 03:00 - 32 minutes - 22.5 MBEpisode #85: Made Me Realise (Song starts 7:20) This week's episode has a nice laid back mood again. This is how I felt when I wrote Made Me Realise (song #41) back in 1987. I can still till remember the evening this song came to me as I let my fingers wander on the keys where they would and let my voice float where it chose to go. This is the podcast where one of my aims is to give you the feeling of how it feels to be in the shoes of a songwriter. I try to give you an insight as to wh...
At What Cost
October 26, 2021 12:10 - 33 minutes - 23 MBEpisode #84: At What Cost (Song starts at 4:38) Welcome. This week's episode has very peaceful feeling about it. The 30 minutes or so just floated by for me, as I recorded it. I'm really enjoying myself as I talk, no notes, no pre-production. Tonight I just walked into my studio, thinking "What song shall I talk about.." And this one jumped out at me. I let the song lead the way each week. I've found over the weeks that by having fun, ‘playing’, if you will, it leads my thoughts to some...
BP Diner
October 18, 2021 11:44 - 32 minutes - 22.1 MBEpisode #83: BP Diner (Song starts at 8:38) On this episode I have Mr Paul Dredge (from New Zealand), along with me. We wrote this song about (surprise) the BP Diner…it was a petrol and food place, which was opposite a resort I worked at with Paul Dredge. To get the full picture (and more stories), have a look at this blog post from a while back: The Hazy Line /Wairakei Resort. https://thehazyline.wordpress.com/2020/12/22/the-wairakei-resort-gig/ One grey rainy morning we were sitting i...
Old Hat In The Sun / Life In One Day
October 11, 2021 01:22 - 31 minutes - 21.9 MBEpisode #82: Old Hat In The Sun / Life In One Day (Songs start at 6:18 & 22:07) Hi there. I'm writing these show notes immediately after recording this episode (which is what I normally do) ... Although I also normally listen back through as the recording 'bounces', ready to be put online as a stereo file. This time, I've stopped the tape. Just wanting to really soak up this moment and try to tell you how I'm feeling. I'm feeling pretty good. Unexpectedly, I ended up writing a full song,...
Remote
October 03, 2021 23:46 - 30 minutes - 21.1 MBEpisode #81: Remote (Song starts at 7:02) I’ve changed things up a bit this week: here’s a lively, slightly edgy sort of a pop song from a while back. The word ‘remote’ is a bit of a pun in this song. There's a line about me not having a remote to turn off the incoming creative inspirational visions that are pretty much constant for me. Best I can do is get out into remote nature, away from things made by humans. I did that by going fishing this week. I recount a misadventure I had with a...
Everything Comes To An End
September 27, 2021 05:37 - 33 minutes - 22.9 MBEpisode #80: Everything Comes To An End (Song starts 4:16) Hi there, thanks for stopping by and checking out the show notes for today's episode. This podcast is where you'll get to hear a how a song comes together and gain an insight into what makes a songwriter tick. It's proving to be an ongoing exploration. I never realised it was so complicated. Writing songs is something I've never taken for granted. It's hugely rewarding. I find songwriting to be a very quick and enjoyable process......
It’s True
September 20, 2021 04:52 - 30 minutes - 21.1 MBEpisode #79: It's True (Song at 6.25) Welcome to a very mellow, slightly mysterious sounding episode. This week's featured song has that sort of a vibe about it. Song #60, written in 2014, came about a few days after a fishing expedition. It was a moonlit evening and I set off after sunset. In fact, we going to set off together. Yep, on this episode I'll take you with me to spend a bit of a peaceful time down by the water. The waves are lapping, the moon is shining on the water... Why w...
Secret Lullabies
September 14, 2021 00:16 - 31 minutes - 21.9 MBEpisode #78: Secret Lullabies (Song at 3.36) Hi there and welcome to another episode. For the next 30 minutes or so, I'll be guided by my feelings as to what's interesting to talk about about with this song. It's the way I roll, here on this podcast - it's a fun way to go about it. I end up in places I never guessed I would've, when I hit the record button at the start. This week I've chosen to finally unveil the song I use to kick off each episode. The music at the start of each episod...
Anticipation and Longing
September 07, 2021 04:54 - 30 minutes - 20.8 MBEpisode# 77: Anticipation and Longing (Song starts at 7:00) Welcome to another episode, packed with humour, chat & music. This week I interview my old mate, and co songwriter, Mr Paul Dredge. I also videoed proceedings. So you have the option to watch and listen this week, if you’d like to: https://youtu.be/0cc4r1SVz80 Paul and I ended up talking about all sorts...from All Blacks, to bird calls. Sit back and enjoy this easy conversation between 2 songwriters, as we endeavour to shed som...
Molly Brown
August 31, 2021 04:39 - 33 minutes - 23.1 MBEpisode #76: Molly Brown (Song starts at 5:28) This week's song is a brand new one, so it's very fresh in my mind, as to how it came together. I wrote the lyrics and recorded the demo recording 2 nights ago. Tonight I’ve been a bit busy. I’ve just done online live concert for 90minutes, where I premiered this song. Then I videoed myself recording piano and vocals in my studio, playing along to some instrumentation which I'd already created. This song, 'Lead The Way' will be on an upcom...
Harbour Lights
August 23, 2021 03:37 - 32 minutes - 22.4 MBEpisode #75: Harbour Lights (Song starts at 7.35) Hi there. If this is your first time here, what can you expect from having a listen? You'll find a show packed with music, humour, anecdotes..even the odd bird call. (!) I'm here to entertain you by providing a relaxed 30 minutes of conversation. Sure it's a pretty one sided conversation, but thanks so much for those of you tuning in each week. I feel like I'm in your company... plus you'll get to hear some new music - well, it'll be new t...
I Can’t Call You
August 16, 2021 05:39 - 32 minutes - 22.6 MBEpisode #74: I Can't Call You (Song starts at 12.58) Hi there. Come along with me for another ‘wander’ and a chat. I'm looking to entertain and relax the listener (you). I'm also looking to shed some light on the mystery of a creative process: Songwriting. As I write these show notes, 'I Can't Call You' is the most recent song I've written. The version on this episode is the live version, taken from my recent live online performance, (you can view some on YouTube Pete Pascoe Art and Music o...
Long Long Road
August 09, 2021 06:20 - 30 minutes - 21.2 MBEpisode #73: Long, Long Road (Song at 5.34) Talk about a long, long road...it's currently lockdown here in Melbourne - Again! That's 6 times! Happy to do my bit, stay home and do what's right. One of the things I've enjoyed over the last 15 months has been recording podcast episodes. It's been my one of my ‘islands of certainty’ each week, in these uncertain times. I have a few things I'm committed to doing each week, including a music video and painting, a blog etc. But the focus of w...
Gratitude
August 02, 2021 02:17 - 31 minutes - 21.5 MBEpisode #72: Gratitude (Song at 4.22) An interesting one this week. I stumbled across this old demo when I was going through some files on the computer. I've already presented this one to the band (myself and the Patient Hum) - would’ve been handy to have had this demo around on the evening I sang it through with the guys. Or maybe not...sometimes it's fun to see what other musicians come up with, without them being steered in a certain direction. As it turns out, on the evening I played ...
The Man In Blue
July 26, 2021 01:29 - 32 minutes - 22.3 MBEpisode #71 The Man In Blue (Song at 11.02) Hi there and welcome to another 30 minutes of relaxed chat - and some music. If you're back here for another dose, thank you! If it’s your 1st time here, welcome. As you listen, I hope you're feeling like you're almost ‘in conversation’ with me, as an audience when I'm talking away. Recording the episodes about songwriting, life observations, anecdotes, etc is an intimate thing. It’s a rewarding process, looking into songwriting - it’s a gen...
Help Me
July 19, 2021 10:41 - 31 minutes - 21.9 MBEpisode #70: Help Me (Song starts at 7:24 ) Hi there, from Melbourne. Once again, here I am behind the mic, at the piano, looking at another song from a while ago - or that was what I thought. But…I pushed a button without realising it. An 80s synth sound came through loud and clear, when I was expecting a piano sound. I let this take me somewhere and I leapt in and started composing an ...80s rock song. So this may well become a song which I'll finish and release at some point in the futur...
Where The Days All Went
July 12, 2021 02:06 - 31 minutes - 21.9 MBEpisode #69: Where The Days All Went (Song starts at 5.50) Hi and welcome to another episode. As usual, we are travelling back in time to the day I wrote this one - song #446. If you're thinking ‘that's a while ago’! That's what I'm thinking too. But the strange thing is, it doesn't feel so long ago, to me... And now I'm thinking ‘where did all those days go?’ It's been years since I moved to Melbourne from New Zealand. I miss walking beside the rivers in NZ. It was a beautiful calm winte...
Time Wheels
July 09, 2021 02:24 - 32 minutes - 22.4 MBEpisode #68: Time Wheels (Song starts at 4:26) Welcome to another episode. I like the way this podcast is developing. Casting my mind back, it's hard to believe more than a year has gone by since I recorded my 1st episode. Those time wheels keep on turning. Written in 1991 ( yes, that is some time ago, and it's a surprise to me that so many years have passed since I wrote this one).The lyrics of Time Wheels are a collection of seemingly random images from my past. The reflective mood of th...
Huckleberry Man
July 02, 2021 04:57 - 32 minutes - 22.2 MBEpisode #67: Huckleberry Man (Song starts at 7.54) Hi there & welcome! This week's episode features a song that came out of thin air - a collaboration between myself and my friend Jo Kinniburgh. The evening it happened, we didn't set out to write a song - it was completely unexpected. It was at the time I composed my very mellow 1st solo piano ‘River Music' album. There were 3 of us living in the house at the time, reading Tolkien by candle light, going fly fishing... Sounds pretty tranqu...
