The brilliant British musician, Daniel Cavanagh (formerly of Anathema, currently of Weather Systems) put the title poem “Word Thief” into music. I don’t know about you, but I really love it. I am grateful for the collaboration and for this beautiful outcome. Daniel wrote the music and narrated the poem I wrote. ❤️💜❤️💜
I love the outcome, the finished song, and I loved working on this project together. It was a new and quite enriching experience for me.
The melody and narration highlights the words and don’t take their shine. The poem is always at the front of the “song”. That it’s not me who narrates the poem makes it more precious and special – my English is good, but I am not a native speaker and that’s audible.
Again, I think this project was a lot of fun, and it opened my eyes a bit to the quality of my own poetry (simply by hearing it read out loud by someone else).
I am grateful for the opportunities given to me and for this beautiful song.
Thank you for listening to the audio above. It matters. A lot. And thank you to the handful of people who ordered their copy of WORD THIEF.
Have a nice week 💜❤️💜❤️

How wonderful that he did that for you! It’s a mesmerizing musical accompaniment and narration for your compelling words.

There are actually two more songs in the making – one of which will be narrated and the other will be sung. It is an exciting project for sure and humbling to be able to learn from someone as knowledgeable and talented as him.
