Today was wonderful. The snow melted and was out of the house for thirteen hours. Like not simply out of the house. I went places. Oh, the places I went were awesome.
At one point I found myself Ina lovely old townhouse living room with a grand piano. Now I have taken lessons, but I can't play. Been out of practice too long. Wich is why I was super happy I wasn't alone.
The scene went something like this:
Me and little sister sitting on a couch. Me writing, she writing too.
We interrupt this scene, to an incident that happened earlier that informs what is happening now...then...another time.
"Melissa, how would you feel about me asking you to write a song for my novel?"
"Honored." My thoughts "SHE THINK I AM GOOD ENOUGH TO WRITE A SONG. I STILL HAVE A CHANCE IN THE MUSIC BIZ. SOMEBODY GET BROADWAY ON THE PHONE. Oh yeah."
And we rushed away.
Back to previously scheduled story time.
Her. Me. Piano.
Song time.
Well, first it was me scratching out lyrics. Something about battle, hurt, discernment, and time. Mmh, it was that cool. And maybe generic.
Then we hit the keys. And so what, it wasn't tuned? So what I sang off pitch? It was fun and we created something epic. Or at least something.
We spent two hour composing and it was wonderful.
It is a collaboration song, for a novel that isn't finished...so it is innovated. Who writes a song for a book that isn't done yet? I do. We do.
