To Stop The Moon
I was watching “A Knight’s Tale” last night, one of the wildest medieval films you will ever see, and Heath Ledger says about the girl he loves “I would ask God to stop the moon, so that I could see the beauty in your face forever” which obviously made me think of my Muse, and could I write a poem based on that premise.

The Song of the Salesman
Many years ago I was made redundant and to teach myself ASP.NET I created a website called “Song of the Salesman” , This meant I had something to show potential employers when looking for contracts. At hit’s height it brought me in about £400 a a month but Shazam and streaming effectively killed it off as an entity.

Ich Bien Ein Ausländer (I Am A Foreigner)
Ich Bien Ein Ausländer (I Am A Foreigner) is a song by the band Pop will eat itself. This phrase is repeated throughout and is and is an essential part of this powerful song. This contains a lot of German phrases but is essentially a review of this powerful song and why it’s words should be listed too.

There Is No Love Between Us Any More
I have always loved Pop Will Eat Itself since on my first night in Newcastle I switched on the radio and Simon Mayo played “Beaver Patrol” from “Box Frenzy”. “There Is No Love Between Us Any More” is a great anti love / breakup song that you can actually smile and laugh at and frugg to.

The Water Hole .. A Finality
This was requested by Jason B , a conclusion to The Water Hole , my entry into the Vocal Foggy Waters Challenge. I did a conclusion but he wanted to know what happened next. This is my attempt to finalise the story although I have a feeling it will not end. I really hope this again lives up to expectations , but we will see. I have kept a few terms from the Philip Pullman “His Dark Materials” books which will fit in with the general story.

Too Lazy To Learn
I think we are all guilty of this to varying degrees. Often it's because the learning process is time consuming , expensive and even difficult. Sometimes it's because it's time consuming. While I can doodle about on most musical instruments I can't actually play apart from basic rhythm accompaniments and maybe the odd simple solo. However something like Trace Bundy's take on Pachelbel's "Canon" just leaves me awestruck. Learning takes practice, time and dedication.

Fallen Angel
This is about no one in particular apart from those who always look out for others and are seen as being strong , and therefore not needing any love and support for anyone, then people wonder why they fall and disappear. They give everything , ask for nothing and that’s what they end up with.

Tears of A Clown
This is a list of songs that might make me cry at times, this is probably just me but crying is a good release, and I hope you feel free to cry and get rid of unhappiness. It won’t be a huge playlist and there will be repetitions from other posts. The Smokey Robinson song is appropriate because my tears could definitely be described as the “Tears of A Clown”.

The Benefits of the Windows Clipboard
Note this only refers to a Windows based computer setup. Other operating systems may have similar facilities or tools but this only refers to the Windows one. Also sorry for the long introduction , if you scroll down to the end you will find what you really need to know. I often see articles on Google about “Bob Dylan’s Favourite Beatles Songs” and if you try to read them you often give up in exasperation before you reach the first song. Hopefully this is not that bad, and maybe those writers have a word count target too.

Pretty
This is hopefully a poem about having confidence in yourself , having self belief , trusting the friends and family who love you and not giving time to unconstructive critics and spiteful haters. We all make mistakes and we either have to make amends or forgive ourselves although sometimes neither solution is an option, but always look for positives and hold on to those.
