ODD THINGS I HAVE SEEN
Nine years ago whilst working in Cumbria, I used to take
my dog for a walk on an evening. I
would take a route down the windy road down to a gate climb over and wander
over open fields with established Hedgerows.
A nice wander might see the odd one or two folk milling about but that
was about it, after a few weeks of doing this walk. I noticed something a tad strange a plastic milk carton tied up
in the hedgerow, it had been burnt at the top and had a piece of black cord
with a silver object. That I could not
make out as it was quite high up, but at this point I found it rather
unnerving! Was it some kind of occult
group? This just seemed strange who had
put this here and most importantly why?
After this I did no longer walk this route, and to this day I have
always wondered what it meant and the reason behind this.
Could there be a lyrical theme here? Going off on an odd kilter, with my usual
lyrical topics. It could be something
esoteric and Dark searching dark avenues of wonder, However I am on Hiatus and
do not like to stray to far from my song interests, it may lead to much of an
eclectic mix of themes. It would have
to be another project but I am not looking to form anything new. Megrimmtroll is dormant!!!
I wonder why people do these things, is it
to get folk like me guessing? Or is there something more that I have not
pondered. Another thing, which happened
around twenty years or more ago, was whilst walking to the pub. With a mate we where walking down the road,
that forked off to a single-track road.
It was nighttime and dark as it was autumn as I recall, all of a sudden
we heard really loud footfalls thundering through the trees and undergrowth. We did not stay to see what it was and ran;
our imaginations got the better of us.
We thought it could have been a giant beast or a maniac, again I find
myself wondering what would have happened if we had stayed to see what it
was? And again lyrical ideas spring to
my, I guess the creative process never stops…
