In addition to writing songs I also secretly write poetry (which you can find on my Patreon page if you have a hankering). But I also appreciate when folks regard song lyrics as their own type of poetry.
Lyrics as Poetry puts together print-only collections contributed to by songwriters on a given theme. I was so honored to have my song, “Not as Lovers” featured in Volume 3, “Love.”
In this all-digital world it is especially satisfying to see your work printed lovingly on nice paper with beautiful printing and nestled in amongst other carefully-selected pieces from other artists. You can buy the volume on their site and stream the original version song here: Not as Lovers (Take this Armor) .
HOWEVER. As I am wont to do, I have also overhauled and rewritten this song since both its original release and the publication of this volume. So if you want to stay tuned for that new version, keep an eye on Hard Spelling, where I am gradually collecting songs for my upcoming double vinyl.
