I'm an avid reader and whenever I stumble across a phrase I think is intriguing I send myself an email and then write it down in my notebook. I wish I could tell you what book I found the phrase "I'm held together by string" in, but alas I can't. To me it was very evocative and that simple phrase presented me with a world of lyrical possibilities. I'm of a certain age, someone who grew up in a simpler time, so as this world gets more and more complicated it gets harder and harder to keep it all together - it really does feel like sometimes it's just a piece of string that's keeping it all from unravelling.
So if you want to hear what I came up with, my new song "I'm Held Together By String" is now available anywhere music can be streamed. Or click this link.
