Hello, thank you for viewing this video. This is from a series, aiming to document the cache of song lyrics, poems and prose pieces that were recently (re)discovered after being lost/mislaid for several decades. The works are being read in the order they appear in the lyric book, and for the first time in over 30 years, in most cases. So there are some stumbles, and of course, my speech difficulties due to my PBPND do not help! There are closed-captions available if my voice is incomprehnsible at times. I am reading everything in the book, which in this video includes several small/unfinished pieces. It meant enough to me to create it all those yeears ago, so I figure I owe these smaller and incomplete works the same attention as the more well-known of my catalogue. In addition to trying to get as much of my material on record as possible whilst able, I am attempting to place some biographical background (and occasionally foreground) onto them as well. I appreciate this interrupts the flow, but I am in the end-stage of Progressive Bulbar Palsy Neurological disease, and, to be frank, I want to leave some 'history' for my children to know about me/my work when they grow up. Maybe I opened up too much on this, but... A tranche of lyrics from the first box file opened have now been anthologised, and are presented in the book "Shadows Behind Soft Words Of Love", and there are likewise recital videos of those pieces on my channel, if you care to view them. Those works date from 1995, and are much, much darker than the pieces recited here. The works presented here, and their timestamps, are: 00:00 'Into The Night' 01:25 'The New Religion' 03:17 'Beneath The Surface' 05:44 'Fever' 07:00 Discussing the works 11:20 'I'm Gonna Send A Demo To The John Peel Show' 13:20 Discussing the works/childhood/early bands Light and peace, Paul M 01.04.2023 All material © Paul Murphy / 2023 - - - - : : - - - - Whilst here, if I may be so bold - I have several lyric anthologies and songbooks available on Amazon, titles below. I mention it not for me, but for my most amazing children, who get all the royalties when they reach 16. If you don't want to buy one, Amazon will give you a free 10-page sample if you just want to browse and go - I'm cool with that too.
