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>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>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-container-5 wp-block-group alignfull has-ast-global-color-5-background-color has-background\" style=\"padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-info-box uagb-infobox__outer-wrap uagb-block-dc0c48d8\"><div class=\"uagb-infobox__content-wrap uagb-infobox uagb-infobox-has-icon uagb-infobox-icon-above-title uagb-infobox-image-valign-top uagb-infobox-enable-border-radius \"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-left-right-wrap\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-content\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-image-icon-content uagb-ifb-imgicon-wrap\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-icon-wrap\"><span class=\"uagb-ifb-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\"><path d=\"M464 256h-80v-64c0-35.3 28.7-64 64-64h8c13.3 0 24-10.7 24-24V56c0-13.3-10.7-24-24-24h-8c-88.4 0-160 71.6-160 160v240c0 26.5 21.5 48 48 48h128c26.5 0 48-21.5 48-48V304c0-26.5-21.5-48-48-48zm-288 0H96v-64c0-35.3 28.7-64 64-64h8c13.3 0 24-10.7 24-24V56c0-13.3-10.7-24-24-24h-8C71.6 32 0 103.6 0 192v240c0 26.5 21.5 48 48 48h128c26.5 0 48-21.5 48-48V304c0-26.5-21.5-48-48-48z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"uagb-ifb-title-wrap\"><h4 class=\"uagb-ifb-title\">I don&#8217;t do WhatsApp, or LinkedIn, or SnapChat, or Facebook &#8230; I decided to get a life instead<\/h4><\/div><div class=\"uagb-ifb-text-wrap\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About Debuchelon I was born in London and have lived here all my life.
