When I saw the lyrics from kahlo2013 I felt compelled to create some music for them. I used MuseScore (which I've been using for about 3 days) on my computer to write the music, then made a recording with my phone as I played the music over my crappy computer speakers while singing with my crappy voice. Things are pretty low-tech here :-)

Liz says: The prompt was to write from the perspective of a place or thing… I wrote from the perspective of a thing - any guesses on what that thing might be?

Thanks @karendemello for bringing this lyric to life so beautifully! Lovely musical tract with flute and gorgeous melody. It flows beautifully! Amazing to think it was 45 years ago that we played together at your piano recital.

V1 now I’m cold and I’m lonely no hands have held me or touched me for years

how I wish she was here

C lying in the dark I often think of her I remember the hours we’d spend

cradled in my space I can feel her fingers I remember the heat from her breath

V2 now I’m gray and I’m tarnished no lips have warmed me or sought me or cared

how I want her her near

C lying in the dark I often think of her I remember the hours we’d spend

cradled in my space I can feel her fingers I remember the heat from her breath
