Chris!
I voted only partway through, 'cause I was loving it from the start...
Now that it's over, I can honestly say I loved every minute of it.
I have to say I was a touch surprised to hear a classically trained actor writing and singing country and western / folk... but not too surprised, coming from a creative...
Thank you! Profound lyrics. Nice melody. Nice bridge. You have me smiling broadly this morning! :D
Thank you very much, @creatr! I'm so glad you liked it. I wasn't sure how it would be received, and I was quite relieved when I saw yours was the first comment. Usually I hide my heavier themes under layers of cute rhymes and humorous stories. This was a little out of my comfort zone. But I guess that's what this contest is all about!
It's true; I wear many hats, but they're mostly creative.
I really appreciate your support. I'm going to be writing a song a week for eight weeks for this challenge... eek.
Wow, that does sound extremely challenging! And this song will be a hard act to follow... ;)
Best wishes, my friend! :D
