Tom Edwards' Poem "Why I don't drink anymore"
Thanks to my friend DeeJay for pointing this out to me - it was on a BBC2 show. An excellent summary of alcoholism I changed because I have the sickness of alcoholism, alcoholism doesn't come in bottles it comes in people. You should have seen me. I drank for happiness and became unhappy; I drank for joy and became miserable. I drank to be out-going and became self-centred; I drank for sociability and became argumentative and lonely; I drank for sophistication and became crude and obnoxious. I drank for friendship and made enemies, I drank to soften sorrow and wallowed in self-pity; I drank for sleep and awakened without rest. I drank for strength and felt weak. I drank for masculinity and it sapped my potency; I drank medicinally and got sick. I drank because I thought my job called for it and lost my job. I drank to stimulate thought and blacked out. I drank to make conversation and got to where I couldn't talk at all; I drank to forget and became haunted. I drank for freedom...
Nice work. What hardware did you use?
ReplyDeleteI use a Boss BR600 to record I like it to be simple!! Drums are off that, I use a condenser Mic on vocals guitars are my good made Tele on the main fingerpicked bit my PRS CE22 on the fills and my Ibanez 5 string bass all straight into the BR600 using its processor. Mix down via Audacity. All very simple and basic really.
DeleteHow nice to hear your music finally! I guess I should go visit your Reverbnation site for more :).
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of Johnny Marr a bit. :)
