Jeremiah's School of Levitation

So, here's my contribution to Poetry Friday, in honor of the word "broken". It's a song I wrote yesterday (but, I've been working on the riff for a couple of days now) and it's in demo mode and, as a warning, I can't play guitar or sing. So, it's mercifully short.

It's kind of hard to hear the words, so here they are:

I really want you to come over
and hear what my soul releases.
I need you to help me forget
that I'm broken in a thousand pieces.

I'm all broken now.
But I'm trying to get it together.
I'm all broken now.
But I won't be broken forever.

(Repeat)

Whoaaaaa...! That's got me feelin'...all Nick Drake-y, or maybe it's Elliot Smith...somethin' acoustic and rainy-day-ish, which is my favorite -ish. I love how you use words, the 'broken' just aching for some sort of soul-glue and a spatula to smooth down the rough edges. Wow. I'm stunned. I wish I had musical ability like that.

Yeah, man, you got mad music skills..let's make lots of money!

Wow. I wasn't going to comment today 'cause i didn't want you to think i'm some kind of needy stalker.
But, that was really a cool audio bit, and you wrote it yourself, and sang and played the guitar. I like it. It did sound like Nick Drake. Do it some more.
I'm glad you aren't broken into a million little pieces though, because then you would have to get broken on TV by Oprah.

M and M: You know (hanging head), I'd never listened to Nick Drake. So, I fired up Rhapsody and took a listen... Ya'll--that's a mighty comparison--that guy is amazing. I'm not worthy! But, if nothing else, I've found a great new influence.

Thanks for your words, and for the musical lesson for the day, which will last for a few thousand more days.

...kinda like a broken soul on the mend. Nice.

You've got a voice like caramel - think and rich. Nice.

Wow - if that's what you call not being able to play guitar, what do you call guitar playing?

Encore!

Uh, oh. Now you all have done it. You've gone and encouraged me. Just exactly what latent showman needs.

Thanks, ya'll.
