Hi everyone,

I made a Blues (kind of) and it's called For Emily
 https://soundcloud.com/user-296497130/emily

After a sad song like 'Listen' I felt a need for something spicier. And I even introduced trumpets in it. I never did this before. That makes the song very special ;-).

The story behind it: When I was in Mexico some months ago I promised to make a song for the sister of my sons' girlfriend. But it almost turned into a broken promise. Until now. Although the song is for her, it is not about her. I am curious what she'll think of it.
But I am even more curious what you think of this song...

Let me know what what you think or what I can improve,
Hans

Lyrics:
For Emily
(c) HWBerkhout, feb 2021

I'm working on a melody
I need a song
I have to do this, you see?
It's for Emily

Now I'm getting more or less out of control
At least, it hurts my soul
This song is hiding somewhere in my head
And that worries me, it makes me mad

I'm looking for a melody, I need a song
And I want inspiration to go along
I'm looking for a cool tune, some Blues, maybe?
Need it all for Emily

=small solo=

It's my philosophy; don't blow no balloon
If you want a song, just find a tune
And I need to find it, deep down in me
with some nice words too, for Emily

=big solo=

I'm getting more or less out of control
At least it hurts my soul
This song keeps hiding somewhere in my head
And that worries me, it makes me mad

I'm looking for a melody, I need a song
I'm looking for a band too, to play along
I'm looking for a cool tune, some Blues, maybe?
with some nice words about Emily

I'm looking for a melody, I need a song
I'm looking for words too, to sing along
I'm looking for a melody, a real nice tune
It gives me inspiration to get it soon
But I want my melody
be there in time to please Emily
