| Really good friend of mine, collaborator, colleague for many years (this year would be the fifteenth year that we've known one another now) would put into a class together in high school. We sat next to one another and kind of just talked and mucked around a fair bit, haha. Then one day, I started humming "And I would do anything for love, I'd run right into hell and back..." or whatever. Next thing you know we're talking about Meat Loaf AND Jim Steinman. He actually knows who Steinman is, I thought! Then we're talking about Rocky Horror. He introduced me to Pink Floyd and showed me his book from the "Shine on" box set. I've collected all their vinyl now which has been going on since I was seventeen. I got the pink Australian vinyl for "The dark side of the moon" as well, sealed copy of "More", "Piper" picture disc, and on and on. Just absolutely love Pink Floyd and sometimes David's guitar solo in "Time" nearly gets me in tears. "The dark side of the moon" is so powerful. And it's timeless. Just like "Bat out of Hell". "Thriller" is a great album and all, and Michael Jackson did some absolutely amazing stuff, but I love those albums more. Anyway, we were on excursion to a sewage plant haha, and we were walking across this bridge with all this crap down below us in all these massive troughs (sorta becomes a metaphor for later on? "I'm not gunna end up in the shit".) Naturally we were talking about Meat, Jim, Rocky, Pink Floyd that day, and I was working away on a lyric of mine as I just started trying to write some lyrics around that time, and I was telling him about a movie I was writing, haha. The lyric was like a JOKE, which sort of reminds me of what Jim says about the HUMOUR in his songs. Then he comes back the next day with the TUNE and I was like, wow. I get taken into the music rooms, sat down at the piano, and just wow. When I heard the first tune for our musical, first written when we were sixteen, it was like.. Looking back, it's like my whole life changed. When our musical actually got done, it was proof to me that hey, maybe this isn't so crazy as you think it could be. It was really life affirming. Be pretty cool if we were BOTH able to make one of the shows in New York or something. | |
