This song came about when I was playing my Cigar Box Guitar just before going to bed late one evening.
I had a tune but no lyrics and just so I could sing something I started singing the titles of books on the shelf in front of me. Some of them sounded right.
The next day I went through the shelves picking out titles that felt right, then put them together with just a few words to join them together to make the song.
Although it's mainly made up of book titles it seems to make some kind of sense to me...
If you are a fan of Margaret Atwood, Haruki Murakami or Milan Kundera, you should be able to spot the titles : -)

thanks Maddog and Sammy : -)
beautiful lass, one of your finest. Where do they come from? Wonderful xxx
Enjoyed as always Be, well done!
I'll have to ask her. I was kind of laughing to myself at the time and forgot to ask. To folks like me who are often buried under accumulated stuff it's a strange yet appealing concept.
thanks all. Jim, that sounds very appealing living in a cabin with a few musical instruments! I'm wondering what the book was??
Digly, how about "They call me mellow yellow" that could work ; -)
Beautiful.
really clean recording for being outside. Peaceful thanks.
I should tell you about a friend of mine who's chosen to live a minimalist lifestyle in a 100 sq. ft cabin. I asked if she wanted a book I'd just finished and she said "no, I've already got a book" Oh, she shares that 100 sq. ft. with a cello and a banjo!
