This much I know: Jimmy Crowley, Musician

The songs you have to work hard at are not real songs at all.

Creating music is not routine. It comes in like a harvest. The muse descends on you, it’s not about talent. It’s about acute sensitivity. Something might come to you when you are doing laundry or washing dishes. It’s an idea, a kernal. A feeling that goes beyond words and music. Then it passes but it is still working away in the subconscious and after a period of gestation it comes out as a song. When that happens I think, somebody wrote that song other than me, I just mediated it.

I am really looking forward to playing with Stokers Lodge again.
