Write about it I guess... https://soundcloud.com/user-618393096/the-muses V1 The muses have left me to sing by myself I take down the fragments of songs from the shelf Some written in humor, some rooted in my pain But now when I sing them they all sound the same V2 The muses have left me, I sit here alone Try'n to resolve these discordant tones Unfinished puzzles, beginnings and ends My inspiration's been cast to the wind Bridge All of the times that I've laughed and I've cried The love that I've given that has withered and died Seasons of longing, winters endured All the distractions of sweet saboteurs Angels of mercy with words full of hope Just scattered reflections in a kaleidoscope v3 The muses have left me without a farewell' And if they'll return nobody can tell Chordal progressions for secret obsessions Aborted confessions, no chance to atone 'cause the muses have left me alone.... **** Song Summary ********* Title: Untitled Song File:muses2.SGU Key=C , Tempo 60, Length (m:s)=2:52 No intro. 39 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 39.

Nice work all around! -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Outstanding ending!

It hits us all and what better way to deal with it than to write about it. Nice. You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

I miss a chorus, but I guess that will have to wait until your next song where you sing about missing choruses Goldmania Bella Listen on Spotify Watch on YouTube Buy on Amazon

Such a good heartfelt melody and delivery of the lyrics. If the muses have really left you, you are doing very well on your own.

Simple but pleasant arrangement. Janne Hear My Music: Soundcloud YouTube
