About Andrea

This blog has had some reincarnations until it happily settled on the current format. But the main attributes, music + words, were there from the beginning. Because that’s who I am.

My soul breathes music and exhales words. Lots of them. Fiction, non-fiction, facts or opinions, mine or yours.

It was a long road to get to here, but all the ups and downs, breaks and bends were educational. I’m very proud of what we have now and I hope you’ll find some great artists to connect with.

My fellow contributors asked me some tough questions.

You’ve been blogging for a while now. Why?

I’m a compulsive sharer as proven by having not one but 4 blogs including this lol:

• The Script Bible: stories and melodies from The Script
• Pieces of my Soul: poems and writing
• The Windy Days of an English Teacher: stories from the classroom as I teach in Spain

What’s the first really great memory you have associated with music?

I didn’t grow up with lots of music around me but as a child I loved listening to the radio and reading a good book. It felt like a guilty double pleasure and my favourite memories are of me, sitting on the window still or curling up in the armchair with a book while blasting the radio.

You’re going on a road trip and can only have 5 songs on your playlist. Which 5 songs do you choose?

That’s like the cruelest question ever! How does one choose 5 when there are so many options???

Well. It would have to be different genres. Depeche Mode, Enjoy The Silence, live. That song has a beautiful energy with the crowd. A headbanger, maybe Metallica or Godsmack for when the other drivers are being stupid. A happy song to sing along: Superheroes from The Script. I would also have to take Ireland with me, and recently it’s with Walking On Cars. And then of course, a gorgeous voice, Sia, Elastic Heart. Or Titanium. I’d have to toss a coin!
