Don’t You Ever Give In

Episode #21: Don't You Ever Give In - (Song at 12:03 & 28:51) If you streamed this episode, what would you hear about? Well... Hi, my name's Pete Pascoe, I'm a songwriter with a lot of songs. Each week I talk about a song I've written & what I was thinking when I wrote the song. I relate anecdotes from around time as well & include observations about life in general - all delivered in a laid back manner with a dose of humour.  So this week, song number 368, 'Don't You Ever Give In' ... the title says it all: it's been a challenging time..but I won't give in.  So this song came from 1996 which was the year before I left New Zealand and I headed off to Melbourne to start all over again,  With all the ups and downs that happened in the years that followed, this song was a bit of a touchstone for me just to keep going - and I still am. I'm pretty determined.  In between talking about the song, I'll take you on an audition I undertook once trying out for the role of JC in J C Superstar… This was also the year I wrote and recorded my first piano music album, River Music. And the band played a huge outdoor rock concert .... It was big year, looking  back. It's been an interesting ride.  Come along with me on a journey back in time and hear some tales, we'll look at the song lyrics, and there's two versions of the song to boot! I'm also sharing lots of art and music each week. I'm a cartoonist and a seascape painter along with making the music if you'd like to see some of this check out my blog.
