Yesterday, I received a CD in the post - a CD for which I wrote the lyrics to six of its nine tracks.

The album in question is Carved In Granite by OrangeColumbo. Email the man himself if you'd like to know how you can buy a copy.

And yes, you can safely assume I'm pretty excited to be able to hold the physical artifact in my hands, and to see my name in the liner notes, after only ever having heard digital versions of my words put to music in the past.

Wow!

• Carved In Granite

Three words,
twisted out of shape,
beat up,
pulled apart until they break.

"Sometimes it's better not to share a thought at all,"
you said, as you started turning out the lights.

Are you made of stone?
Carved in granite?
So, you think you're strong,
but I've seen you shake.
Are you made of stone?
Carved in granite?
Yeah?

Three words
whispered in the night,
I thought,
were all that it would take to make it right.

I was wrong
- or was it all my words fell on deaf ears?
Come on, let's kick that big grey statue over!

Are you made of stone?
Carved in granite?
So, you think you're strong,
but I've seen you shake.
Are you made of stone?
Carved in granite?
Yeah?

Yeah?
