Hey it's  #alternateFridayMusic 🎉 with a cue of: What gets you energised? The songs of one of the worlds greatest song writers, Grant McLennan have energised my life since the late 80's. Grant died 20 years ago today. This is not his most energetic song but it is my favourite song that he crafted: The Go-Betweens  - Cattle and Cane https://youtu.be/HFf7Nat1Y1E For the music nerds, from the drummer, Lindy Morrison "Grant had written that song and [...] he wrote it in that time signature. It's a bar of five, then a bar of two, then a bar of four, so the phrase is eleven beats [...] but when you get to the chorus it goes to four-four. The final section is [...] over the verse chord [...] back into the eleven pattern." 🎶 I recall a bigger, brighter world A world of books and silent times in thought And then the railroad, the railroad takes him home Through fields of cattle, through fields of cane From time to time, the waste, memory wastes And the waste, memory wastes 🎶 @dgar@aus.social  @electric_gumball@mastodon.social @Bishopjoey@writing.exchange @fc@universeodon.com #ausMusic 2/4
