you don't have to be right,
you don't have to be.
there's every chance the world is upside down.
in strange jaws
and broken mouth
though how the tongues are soaked but never drown...

don't worry yourself,
don't worry.
the ocean doesn't judge with all it knows.
say sorry to your tired limbs and lay them on the shore
the body won't stop pulsing under clothes

the colours of the massacre that opened up my throat
and dripped down to the floor
there's a pool of barely spoken, hardly thought , and never wrote,
and stains forever more.
who are we breathing for?
who are we breathing for?

are you brave enough to follow between the stolen sounds?
are you wise enough to know what cuts in two?
can you rise to the challenge whilst you fall to the ground?
am I asking you in me or me in you?
are you brave enough to follow between the stolen sounds?
are you wise enough to know what cuts in two?
can you rise?

pulsing

forgotten. this morning.
it never gave fair warning.
the flowers in paper,
but I'm still water vapour.
it's okay, you tell me,
but there's nothing to quell me.
afraid of my shadow
so come again tomorrow.

Isn't it glorious?
Sincerely.
Doesn't this moment smell alive?
I saw the whole world made from petals.
I saw the reason we survive.

the clicks of deciding,
the hand that you are guiding
so dearly. So nearly
but I can't see me clearly.
I'm laying here,
you're laying here
waiting for faith to reappear.
til my lifeboat
sails from your throat.
And I hear you say...

Isn't it glorious?
Sincerely.
Doesn't this moment smell alive?
I saw the whole world made from petals.
I found the reason we survive.

How do we stay safe in the new normal? How has the pandemic affected how we move around and protect ourselves?

This week, as lockdown continues to ease, we are talking about how to stay safe (and alert) both at home and out in the world. This episode talks all about the type of face mask to wear to getting our creativity back.

The Storyteller's Psalm

Graham Hunt is an amateur singer/songwriter who picked up the guitar at the age of 11, well over 40 years later he still is trying to learn!   A lover of many styles his natural home is on the progressive side of rock but in the last few years has ended up as a solo singer/songwriter in the style of David Gray etc.  Much of his music now is a reflection of the turn his life took a few years ago when he realised his reliance on alcohol had to end and he wised up!
