How You Mend A Broken Heart

Episode #14: How You Mend A Broken Heart - (Song at 15:55) Welcome back! If you’ve come back again this week, if you’re new here, welcome along! Be entertained, informed and you get a song to listen to part way through - another demo this week. Written in 2000, It was a time in my life when things were fairly settled. My song writing perhaps wasn’t in a golden sort of patch, but you keep going (I’m passionate) and songs like this one seem to come along. You get the background of what I was up to at the time… I used to wander down to pier to fish, to give my mind some space and get some energy, to work on my creative work: filling the well. Equally importantly, I’ve worked really hard over the years, making a living from the arts. There are some anecdotes about my life, my neighbours, etc. a real slice of life, and this is what this podcast is all about - you get to step into my shoes for a while. I was a Pianoman back then - there’s an art to it. I describe how it feels to play background music. It was a busy fun time, balancing it with developing my art. I was flat out - and when you’re busy, you’ve got to look after yourself - and you’ve got to keep an eye on your relationships. This song is about.. healing, coming out the otherside a relationship ending...you can bounce back and on reflection you can see that the experience has lead to a deeper understanding of yourself. All presented in an old laid back jazzy sort of ballad. It takes determination to write songs, get them recorded, etc. If you’d like to read the lyrics as I sing, you can find them here, on my blog (along with paintings, cartoons, more music and writing) www.petepascoe.wordpress.com     Thanks for tuning in, Enjoy!
