I'm Listening To Things Of Stone And Wood
It Is What I Am Doing At The Moment
Introduction
Comprising of Greg Arnold (vocals and guitar), Michael Allen (bass), Tony Floyd (drums) and Justin Brady (violin, harmonica and guitar), Things of Stone and Wood released their first album, The Yearning, in 1993. The album was greeted enthusiastically by the public and critics alike, in no small part due to Arnold's strong songwriting. "Happy Birthday Helen," taken from this album, became the first of the band's Australian hits.
I was listening to "The Yearning" and thought "I'm Listening To Things Of Stone And Wood" and thought what a great title for a poem. The album has been played three times today and may accompany me on my journey to Scotland.
There's a lot of their music on YouTube and I will include my favourite song of their's at the end of this poem.

Mike, this poem is really good; you are up there with Lennon and McCartney in my book!
Aural delight singing, I loved that! Such a wonderful Villanelle!
Awwww!!! Lovely inspirational poem!!! Loving it!!!💕❤️❤️
I enjoyed both your villanelle and their performance. Might have to look up some more of their music.
I love this poem, there are some great stanzas,it's great!
Nicely done villanelle. Though I've never heard of them.
It is inspiring and bright writing and will make the day for guys who love music. Though I am a ghazal-type poetry lover, it has positive vibes for me, too. thanks for sharing.
Good band recommendation! 😃
