I don't know what the title of this post should be...

Currently listening to this song on repeat. I thought people would like to know. :)

Also, I attempted writing continuously for fifteen minutes. I thought it would get my thoughts flowing meaning that I could do some serious writing. It didn't work, and what I ended up with was pretty odd - no, I'm not sharing it :P.

I went on a week-long residential Creative Writing course a few weeks ago and it was amazing and I met a load of awesome people and I feel it really improved my confidence (I'd never been on a train on my own before, and I managed two changes travelled halfway across the country, and I also read out a piece of my writing in front of about thirty people, I was pretty proud of myself for that). Anyway, so since this blog is about writing as well as other stuff, I thought maybe it would be nice to share some of the things I learnt, which was more than I expected. I'd also like to maybe read out a few of my pieces on camera and post them, since the whole reading-aloud thing was recorded, and I thought that might be fun, especially if it'd just be me. So maybe that might happen, one day. One day. :P

My Song Of The Day: To Take You Home

To Take You Home by British musician Frank Turner is taken from his second solo album Love, Ire & Song which was released in 2007 (he recently released his fifth album, Tape Deck Heart). At the point of the album's release I hadn't heard of Frank Turner and it's only in the past week or so I've started listening to it. I personally prefer his third album Poetry Of The Deed and to that I prefer his fourth, England Keep My Bones. Anybody seeing a pattern and willing to bet Tape Deck Heart will end up being my favourite once I've listened to it?

Well, that went off topic quickly.

To Take You Home is a quirky, heart-warming song about love which is refreshing when much of the rest of the album seems to be more anguished, even the more upbeat ones. It has something of his later song Rivers from the album England Keep My Bones but with something more epic in the drum beats and something more personal and hopeful in the lyrics. It's so cheery. :)
