this is the start of a song - has a few flubs in it - "keepin' it real" ;)

if anyone is interested in giving me a recording contract that would be super...

Dawn

Electric guitar vocalizing the emotional Rufus Wainwright tune.

Hallelujah

what this song means to me...

many people face each day with incredible challenges. physical. emotional. so much pain in this world.

i wrote this while thinking about what it takes to keep going every single day. and how you need grit to make it happen.

the melody is an uncomfortable minor. you get a feeling of "dig, dig, dig..." as it moves through each phase of progression, finally resolving into the minor and trailing of into syncopated rhythm.

journeyman

what this song means to me...

i felt comfortable with the idea "i am yours and you are mine" as a final summary of those losses. a mental and heartfelt commitment to something magical and everlasting.

death is a part of life. the idea of letting go and that knowing that someday you will meet again is something we all need to feel.

as all that goes... i tried to give the guitar a tone of vulnerability but prop it up with supporting tones. somewhat like dealing with losses in our own lives. we have a support group of people that come along, pick us up when we are weak and help us get through.
