Hi Wendy! I'm probably a bit late to the game here (having been caught up in my day job all week *sigh*) but I wanted to add my two cents. For a song that you just started, you have a memorable melody and some intriguing images. It's a well-done start! I think that a few other layers could definitely be added, like a counter guitar part strumming to give it a jangly sound, and maybe sped up a little bit too. The lyrics were just fine to me and the music was done and sung well. It reminded me of the songs I usually hear at open mics in my area: a woman with a lovely voice and a guitar in hand. In short, I really liked this one and I can't wait to hear how you will take this.  Ann, Thanks for coming by to post on this. I went on your page and listened to some of your tunes the other night. I really liked the one you did in French. You did a wonderful job with that. About 9 months ago, I studied for a while with an opera vocal coach. She gave me some Italian diction assignments and boy was I terrible at them. I can really appreciate how hard it is to sing in a different language from having attempted that exercise and the song she wanted me to sing. I don't think I'm smart enough to figure out the counter guitar thing on this (these are kind of invented chords and I'm playing with the capo). I'm a bit of musical dunce. I just knock around on my guitar until I find something that pleases my ear and then I start to try and find things that compliment where I'm going. I agree that adding something along those lines would probably would make it less boring. I'm with you on speeding it up a little as well. Perhaps I posted it too soon and now it should go into the "notebook experiment gone wrong" file for a while until I figure out what to do with it. Sorry about the day job. Most of my time and energy goes to mine as well.
