In addition to auditioning new vocal styles that won't active my muscular tension dysphonia, I've also been trying to write small songs and simplify my lyrics by reducing the lines down to these blunt, little, hard — almost emotionless statements.
Less notes, if you will.
I kinda got away rom that last week, but this song really captures that idea.
lyrics
I
I went
To the wishing well
And set
A coin free
I called your name
As it fell
And they all laughed
At me
II
I walk
The winding trail
I swim
The endless sea
As far as I can tell
Nowhere I’m meant
To be
III
I went
To the wishing well
And set
A coin free
I called your name
As it fell
And pledged my heart
To Thee
