Soundtrack

Driftin’ Away, with Magnetic North…

When I write, melodies and harmonies accompany my words and thoughts. Depending on my mood, a song’s language, genre, style, and tone will vary. (Although most of my songs here tend to be somber, because typically when I blog, I am in a melancholic mood.)
