When I was young I wanted to be a composer but people who were older and wiser told me \u201cthere\u2019s no money in it, you\u2019ll have a hard life\u201d. So I went to work in the city and put my dreams on hold. But the songs stayed with me, and slowly a storyline developed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the years I had the good fortune to travel widely and meet people from many different cultures. It was only natural that those encounters would shape the way I think about the world and my place in it. And gradually, the lyrics that I had written as a twenty year old changed into something more considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soon these songs will become part of a musical about a refugee camp. Where better to examine the different ways that people have of looking at life? Over the next few months I\u2019ll be sharing some of the playlist and lyrics here with you. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed composing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-ast-global-color-5-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-de5d5b3a wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\"><div class=\"aligncenter wp-block-icon\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" style=\"width:254px;\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\">\n\t<path d=\"M13 6v6h5.2v4c0 .8-.2 1.4-.5 1.7-.6.6-1.6.6-2.5.5h-.3v1.5h.5c1 0 2.3-.1 3.3-1 .6-.6 1-1.6 1-2.8V6H13zm-9 6h5.2v4c0 .8-.2 1.4-.5 1.7-.6.6-1.6.6-2.5.5h-.3v1.5h.5c1 0 2.3-.1 3.3-1 .6-.6 1-1.6 1-2.8V6H4v6z\" \/>\n<\/svg>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">I don&#8217;t do WhatsApp, or LinkedIn, or SnapChat, or Facebook &#8230; I decided to get a life instead<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Debuchelon I was born in London and have lived here all my life.
