 ‘YOU STRIKE THE MATCH – YOU ARE THE FLAME’

Tomorrows’ everlasting

Yesterday is dead

Today is just a fantasy

Of what’s spinning inside my head

 

I can’t second guess the answers

To your questions; I just don’t know

I major in uncertainty

Like sunshine on fresh fallen snow

 

I couldn’t take the upper hand

Couldn’t take charge of any game

I hunt alone, not in a crowd

You strike the match – you are the flame

 

So light your fire, fan the blaze

I never planned to have a plan

I never buy a ticket

After the sell-out games began

 

The sisterhood of women

The brotherhood of man

Means nothing to the egotists

Close your eyes; you’ll understand

 

You hear me when I’m not speaking

You follow where I don’t go

You’ve got the wrong idea

I’m just an act – I’m not the show

If you’ve not heard it before, you might like this song, ‘Rexie Believes in Magic’ from my ‘Dream Rescuer’ album. It’s the opposite to my new words above. I hope you enjoy;

‘Zoolon Hub’ is the name of my business. I am a songwriter and sound artist from the UK going by the name of George Blamey-Steeden. For what it’s worth, I have a First-Class BA (Hons) in Creative Music Technology and decided to put the skills I picked up studying, plus those I taught myself to good use by running my own company. That way, I keep hold of the reins of my own creativity.

    1. Oddly, I did write a book a couple of years ago. ‘The Words & Thoughts of a Dyslexic Musician’. I never really got around to marketing it so never found out if it was good or bad. With me it’s always been music first, but if I get the chance to write another I now have the title. Thank you ~ George

  6. Listening to the last third of Rexie Believes In Magic, as I write. Pretty good!
    ‘YOU STRIKE THE MATCH – YOU ARE THE FLAME’ words are very neat.
    Your work is excellent.
    Honestly, I’d love to hear & feel a band of live musicians play your music.

  7. Rexie does believe in magic! Loved hearing that song again. From your words, “I’m just an act, not the show” I almost fell off my chair! So true! Seems there is a lot of pressure lately to plan, act, entertain and BE the show. But I get the I’m an act NOT the show. Sorry George, I’m rambling. Tough, sleepless night… I’m good with Rexie. I really must believe in Magic right now… have a good day, George! 😊

  8. Your last line’s a sharp one here, my friend. It says a lot how the narrator sees himself vs. how the other character sees the narrator. It reminds me of how people see the words “writer” and “author” and how one always seems, or feels anyway, a bit lesser than the other.
