Graeham George Goble was born on this day in 1947, in Adelaide, Australia. He was one of the founding members of the Little River Band and wrote a number of their biggest hit singles as well as being responsible for the vocal arrangements and high harmonies on the first eleven of their fifteen albums. He's also worked as a producer and has a respectable catalogue of solo albums – eight in all. I listened to Let it Rain in honour of the occasion – good album, I thought.
He started out as Graham but has an interest in numerology and feng shui which persuaded him to change the spelling of his given name. He was known in LRB for being meticulous and a little fanatical – drove everyone a bit mad, however, while doing that, received admiration for his perseverance. He speaks of being a spiritual person (not in the religious sense) which this song off the aforementioned album illustrates perfectly, IMHO – “Initiation Suite” - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whkAm2G2Wl4
Pinched this from Wiki – very interesting …
"I still write my songs the same way as when I first began. Usually an idea comes while I'm playing my acoustic guitar, but songs often come to me at any time of the day when I'm not playing my guitar. I sometimes dream complete compositions." Graham Goble (1997)
"I hear everything at once – melody, lyrics, it just comes in. There's a feeling that comes over me and I know that there's a song trying to come through. It's sort of like I'm taken over or someone's trying to contact me; I really believe very much that I'm in some ways channeling this thing. Because when I write a song it's always done very quickly, completed in 20 minutes or maybe half an hour. I never labour anything, or very rarely. The only labouring I've ever done in songwriting might be when I've completed a work, a song, and there might be a couple of lyrics I don't like, so sometimes I might sit with those and really put some brain power in how to fix up the lines. But for the most part it comes to me, it comes in and I can hear the whole thing finished with harmonies and everything." Graeham Goble (2001)
He wrote this …
