"my love"

Scratched out the melody for "my love" (see lyrics below). I might play with the meter and how I notate the rhythms once I get it all set. It's a fluid, sultry jazz song not a band march...it's frustrating to force it into the rigid confines of musical notation. That's why it's work, my friends. At least I have the melody for each verse blocked sufficiently for now.

The piano accompaniment will be pretty fun. I woke up with the idea to use some chords from Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C# minor, but by the time I woke up, showered, and photocopied the music from the music library, I couldn't remember exactly what my brilliant idea had been. Maybe it will come back to me.

One of the verses (my love will draw you...) isn't sitting very well with me. It sounds all right when I sing it, but hopefully I can find a better way to get across the point of that verse.

Ta ta. I'm beat. Time for bed.
