I’m sure
there are many book writers who have influenced my life, whose words have
evoked vivid images and inspired clever phrases. But what happens when you
combine words and music?
This is
when you can reach even further inside listeners than with only the written
page. Music conjures its own feelings and emotions, and add that to the spoken
word, and you’re making unforgettable impressions.
Jimmy
Buffet has written so many of my favorite songs, just thinking about one can
transport me from a cold Minnesota spring to a white sand beach on the salty
sea. Bob Dylan notes Jimmy as one of his favorite songwriters, which is an even
more outstanding recommendation than mine! LOL
The words
I want to leave you with today are from his 1983 album One Particular Harbor,
and the song is One Particular Harbor.
And there's that one particular harbour
Sheltered from the wind
Where the children play on the shore each day
And all are safe within
Most mysterious calling harbour
So far but yet so near
I can see the day when my hair's full gray
And I finally disappear
Sheltered from the wind
Where the children play on the shore each day
And all are safe within
Most mysterious calling harbour
So far but yet so near
I can see the day when my hair's full gray
And I finally disappear
What is that song, that one particular place to go to in your mind that sets you free?
I’ll see
you at the beach!

I like to use song lyrics for book titles. They conjure up atmosphere and recognition for readers and give them a feel for what's inside the cover. And it gives me a theme song running through my head to write to!
I've never heard that one, Laura. Great choice. :-)
