I put this song together a little while ago. I had been reading my way through some poetry, looking for lyric inspiration, when I stumbled across Elizabeth Barrett Browning's 19th-century works. It was her poem called "How Do I Love Thee?" that was the basis of this creation. If you are interested in reading Barrett Bowning's sonnet, it can be found at this link: How Do I Love Thee? (poem)

This arrangement is a simple production with just two guitars and a shaker. The vocals are by Synthesizer V using the vocaloid, Natalie.

I hope you enjoy listening. Please feel free to comment on any aspect of the song and its production.
