  1. I dig what you're doing here, Reuben. You're obviously a lover of music and sounds. From reading this, I'll bet you 'sing' the musical parts of a song when there are no lyrics, just like I do.

    1. Thanks Eric. I hum along in my head when there are no lyrics. If you heard my singing voice, you'd understand why.

  2. I think there's sweetness about it..nice and rhythmic and easy and light-hearted. Cool...Pretty clever putting a beat into words like these..

  4. Reuben, it speaks to me of those 'arty farty'people on BBC 2 Newsnight Friday evening review programme. They will no doubt postulate the hypothesis that it's heavily nuanced; that it reaches the profound sub-conscious and gives expression to a
    primal prenatal voice, On the other hand, the Cov' teenager might simply ask: "is it a load of bol'cks?"

  5. LOL. I once was a Cov' teenager. I was just trying to get the rhythm and express some of the feelings. I checked it with my daughter, who loves and lives this music and who IS a teenager, before I put it up, just in case it was indeed a pretentious load of bollocks. She gave me the thumbs up, a rare event, and even said she liked it. That's all it is, an attempt to capture a rhythm and a feeling. Whether it works or not is up to the reader. It was just an experiment, nothing profound.
