Songs Inspired by Dorothy Wordsworth

This book contains original lyrics written by Greg Sones for sixteen songs that were created during the Spring and Summer of 2024 and released on streaming services, including Amazon, under the GreyZoneStudios artist name and record label,

"Songs Inspired by Dorothy Wordsworth (the Grasmere Years)" is an album created by GreyZoneStudios based on the journals of Dorothy Wordsworth, the sister of the romantic poet William Wordsworth.

Dorothy Wordsworth's description of living with her brother William in England's Lake Districts at the turn of the 1800s is a fascinating insight into life over two hundred years ago. It has historical significance both as a documentation of life in that time period, as well as insight into the creative influence and support she provided to her brother William.

The songs are a beautiful collection of folk style music and lyrics that give life to the content of Dorothy's journals and reflect the vivid descriptions of her writing.

The book also contains the lyrics for other love/romantic songs written by Greg Sones. "The Bookstore" is story about two book lovers who meet on a Sunday afternoon at a bookstore. "I'm in Love with You" is a ballad about "our love is real", while "One Last Time" is a heartbreaking song about wanting one final opportunity to tell someone "our love is here to stay". There are also two songs inspired by Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
