Here's what you're not learning in Nashville...a lot of your imagery has nothing to do with scent and the 60 year old letter that still smells of perfume is completely unbelievable. Hell, if the perfume was that strong in 52, he should've taken it to MacArthur so they could've dropped it on Pork Chop Hill and wiped out the enemy.

Leave my work out of your writing process.


Hmmm, I thought you were the co-writer on this based on your original comment. I just looked over your lyric on lyric board 3 and this is a totally different song. I think david did a bang up job on his story and the perfume line might be a stretch -- if you think about it too much (plus he really didn't say he could actually smell it -- ha, ha). It didn't come across as out of place when I first read the lyrics. Titles are re-used every day and you can't copyright a title. David's song is a brand new tune about a totally different topic. There isn't any reason to try and cut him down for it. Humility is a good thing to learn.
