I want to write about music and silence. It’s a few weeks earlier than planned, as yesterday I got the heads up from Lydia Catterall that our episode on her podcast Survival Songs was coming out on Sunday 22nd September, a month before I expected. So why not listen to that now, before reading this? You can click here. It’s only 20 minutes long and it’ll give you more depth on some of the topics in today’s post.
Have you ever just stopped doing a thing you really loved for a decade? What happened when you came back to it? Had anything changed?
Links to the song mentioned in the podcast: Mount the Air - The Unthanks.
Scroll to bottom of the original post for The Shape of Prayer - Tells.
And here’s the Survival Songs podcast homepage.
This podcast was first published here on Substack on 23rd September 2024 with full transcript, footnotes and links.
