I certainly never forsaw dedicating two musical sets to Stephen Harper.
In August, when he cynically called the longest election in Canadian history, somehow certain that using medieval seige tactics would starve out his two competitors, I dedicated Set 279to him.
Here is my third character sketch for the love triangle I'm currently writing about. So far you've been introduced to Peredur, a Dark Ages Welsh warrior who becomes a vampire, through Set 6.
Next you met Tanwen, the beloved of Peredur who is left behind in the human realm after his battlefield death, in Set 7.
Today I'm profiling Cavan, the son of the village wise woman, who has always lived in a state of unrequited love for Tanwen. The sequence of five songs runs along Cavan's character arc for the story.

1 - Without Her - Harry Nilsson
I spend the night in a chair thinking she'll be there But she never comes And I wake up and wipe the sleep from my eyes And I rise to face another day Without her
And it sounds like a lie I said I'd rather die than live without her Without her, I can't go on There's no song without her
- Ham / Evans
2 - Voodoo Child (Slight Return) - Jimi Hendrix
Well, I stand up next to a mountain And I chop it down with the edge of my hand Well, I pick up all the pieces and make an island Might even raise a little sand
Cause I'm a voodoo child
If I don't meet you no more in this world, then, uh I'll meet ya on the next one I'm a voodoo child baby I don't take no for an answer
- the Jimi Hendrix Experience
3 - I'm Going Home - Tim Curry
Free to try and find a game Dealing cards for sorrow Cards for pain
Cause I've seen blue skies Through the tears in my eyes And I realize I'm going home
O'Brien / Sharman
4 - I Don't Care If the Sun Don't Shine - Elvis Presley
Well I don't care if the sun don't shine I get my lovin' in the evening time When I'm with my baby
Well, it ain't no fun with the sun around I get going when the sun goes down And I'm with my baby
- Mack David
5 - See Me Feel Me - The Who
See me Feel me Touch me Heal me
Listening to you I get the music Gazing at you I get the heat Following you I climb the mountain I get excitement at your feet
