Why Do I (Instrumental, Draft)

Open In

Happy Blues (Improv)

I came across a book about corvids (crows, jays, jackdaws, etc) one day at a local used book store. One section describes how corvids are known to mourn their dead. A story developed in my mind months later:

Two magpies love each other and build a family together. But, one day, the male decides he wants to become a human being--to live a different life. The catch is he will forget everything about his previous life. He decides to go ahead with it and has a witch change him into a human. In his changed state he cannot remember his children or his beloved, and begins a new and different life of his own.

The female magpie is left behind. When she finds out she finds and follows him around, calling to him incessantly, trying desperately to strike some kind of chord in his memory. This is her story.

One By One

A simple song about being taken by the one you trusted.

Wool

"She was slim, though, slim and light, and she had learned the secret of walking quietly, so in all the years Asch had never seen her except on this one time when she decided to show herself.

This was the reason, because she wanted him to see her now, because, although she was patient, she was tired of waiting, that she had walked boldly up the slope of the Sierra Madre behind Asch on the morning that he finally came to wait for her on the crest. It was the reason that she had lingered and pretended not to be able to keep pace with Asch which she could have done easily had she chosen. She felt it would be good to do nothing better than Asch. Now, as she approached him, she took to breathing rapidly in order to appear tired."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Elsa finally reveals herself to Asch Penda in the Sierra Madre, under the bare sun. He becomes drowsy, but only pretends to sleep while she swims in a hidden pool. She is free, strong, and beautiful, without shame. And his love for her grows, finally acquainting Asch with fear.
lyrics
Hidden one, silent one
flower of a distant land
Stalking love in the sun
heart held in your hand

Show yourself, no one else
a snare that you have planned
Long years of quiet love
Sage and golden sand

Stone blue, pool deep
Come away my love
Follow me, bare and free
In the shadowed grove

Fall the way the foolish things
That keep us trapped inside
The sun is warm, the pool is deep
the sky is open wide
