Dawnings
With sticks and stones
By Nicholas Hooper
I love you with sticks and stones
I love you with break my bones
I love you
I love you with ice and nails
I love you with all in me that fails
I love you
I love you at the end of the day
I love you with all my dismay
I love you
And when push comes to shove
I’ll be there for you, oh my love
And when all’s said and done
You’ll never ever be alone
Cos I love you

About Dawnings:
“Every morning at around 5am I get up and go down to my studio. After a short meditation I write down whatever is in my head, giving myself fifteen minutes to do so. Then moving over to the piano (or a more portable instrument like my Ukulele when I'm away), I improvise and record a piece of music inspired by whatever words I just wrote. It is a great way of keeping both my writing and my composing going and I call these small creations Dawnings. They are mostly unedited, like sketches, so that they keep that fresh feeling of an early morning discovery.”
