my best friend is an amazing writer. when we met more than ten years ago we had an immediate bond. a lot of that had to do with music and creativity. we quickly began writing lyrics together and then i would give those words the life of melody. the relationship of words and music is a beautiful craft.
sometimes she gives me an idea, sometimes a few phrases, and sometimes she hands me a completed poem. once she hands me those words i begin the process of giving them new life as a song.
thank you, dear friend, for trusting that i will hold those words dear and give them a melody that someday the world may hear.
below is a very rough, work in progress, iPhone voice recorded, version of a poem turned song about the contradiction that is so often love.
for the original poem visit http://www.quartland.blogspot.com/ (or just look over there on the right...there's a link) you won't be disappointed when you visit quartland. she's an amazing writer with two YA novels in progress...and an even greater friend.
