In this case the choon was 'The Man Who Walks Towards The Music'. Sometimes when I whistle I silently recall the associated lyrics but in this case I was enaged only with the melody. Being a reflective sort, I pondered this awhile.  I noticed that over a third of the tunes that I whistle were written by Pete and that about half the time those tunes are pure melody whereas with other whistling more than half the time I am whistling along to internal lyrics.   I find this surprising.  I am greatly enamoured of Clive's lyrics. I would have expected the words and tunes to be indivisible in my perceptions.  Clearly the music has had a much greater effect upon me than I knew.   Theo   PS The song currently looping in my head is Nina Simone singing "I wish I knew how it would feel to be free". Particularly the couplet: "I wish that I could do all the things I can do though I'm way overdue I'd be starting anew". Probably midlife crisis leakage ...     https://peteatkin.com/forum?board=Music&action=display&num=1092566700&start=0#0     Secret Drinker MV Fixture Paul Gunningham, MoM Posts: 207 Re: Whistling « Reply #1: 15.08.04 at 23:30 » on 15.08.04 at 11:45, Theo Clarke wrote: The song currently looping in my head is Nina Simone singing "I wish I knew how it would feel to be free".

You've got me whistling it now - just the tune, you understand, not the words. I never was much good at whistling words.   Cheers   Paul     https://peteatkin.com/forum?board=Music&action=display&num=1092566700&start=1#1     Staving off the pressure... by drinking real ale Pages: 1    Start of Thread | Latest Post Notify of replies | Send Thread | Print Forum Jump: ----------------------------- Pete Atkin -----------------------------  - News   - Newsletter   - Gigs   - *oDs => Music   - Words   - Chums   - Shrinks   - Members ----------------------------- Not Pete Atkin -----------------------------  - Off-topic ----------------------------- Atkin admin -----------------------------  - Atkin FAQ   - Forum FAQ   - Tech Return to Top « Previous thread | Next thread »
