Hey Stan,
Great news for you, the muse was working overtime and I had all the music I needed for your song in about half an hour. Such is the magic when a lyric strikes me or rather, hits me over the head. It is sounding great to a reggae beat and Billy (my huz) is laying some tracks to get ideas for the final arrangement and he really likes the song. As soon as we have something 'on tape' as they say, you will get first listen.
One change I am toying with though is to run the first 2 verses back to back and then come in with the second chorus since it is a more mid to uptempo reggae and the 4 line verse ends up being somewhat short at the beginning of the song. You also don't lose any meaning in the lyric by going straight to the second chorus after the first 2 verses. You can let me know how that sits with you but when you hear it I think you will understand why I am favouring that option.
All this despite the fact that I worked all day yesterday at a conference and I do mean yesterday as in Sunday. I am loving it!
Peace,
Rachel
