Glass Wave

This band, comprised of college professors, writes songs based on works of literature.   One such is "Ophelia."  I only caught a 30 second clip on their website but  they look worth investigating.  They also have songs about Echo and Narcissus as well as Helen of Troy.  This could easily become my easy listening. 

I feel that there is this unspoken (or perhaps spoken and I just haven't heard it) rule that says academics can't do creative work because it is their job to critique it.  But I've been using my higher education to influence my creative projects, allowing me to say what I mean with precision.  It makes me happy, even more so than the fact that they do songs about Shakespeare, that they are professors able to use their vast study in a creative capacity.
