I don't get many things right the first time. I'm up to my hundredth or so try at this, and I'm still not really what you'd call a musician. But I'd like to be, so I work hard and fail often; I fall over to stand a little taller the next time.
Now finally, I have some part of this journey to share with the world. A Rough-Around-The-Edges introductory paragraph to a book filled with pages that are, for now, blank.
And yes, I’m a long way off Ed Sheeran, Eric Clapton and Marcus Mumford.
But I’m getting better.
And yes, these songs are flawed and imperfect. Unpolished, even.
But I’m not nearly done.
I listen to Passenger, Gang of Youths, Mumford & Sons, Birdy and Ed Sheeran.
If they can make it - It mustn't be impossible.
Flawed, Messy-Haired and Hard-Working,
Michael Routson
