Howdy Iddy,

I will sure give serious consideration to your idea on that repeating chorus line. I think that might be a good resolution. Also thinking seriously on going Bob Young's route with the 5 line thing. Both change my head tune...but hey..that is probably a very good thing. I never tell a composer how I want a song to go since they do a far better job than I can with no interference from me.

Since this is intended to relate to women (or men) who have been in abusive relationships...I wanted them to fill in the things they have been unable to forget..and those can be both the bad and the good. For some, the glimmer of what real love might be is what they keep holding onto. For others, it is the horrific memories that they cannot escape. To narrow that down to more specifics seems to limit its relevance IMO. In this case, I was thinking that she carries around the baggage of what the abuse made her feel like..almost like a tattoo or brand that is burned into the skin. You made me think, my dear friend..and that is usually a very good thing! Thanks for your time and insights. Those are always greatly appreciated!!
