Less than two hours left...

Our songwriter's group meeting is in less than two hours. I have a song that I wanted to have critiqued. However, I just decided to rewrite the entire chorus late last night. I wrote most of the bridge during lunch today, but had no piano accessible. (Next time I will try to remember the music store across the street from my office.)



Can our hero pull a rabbit out of his hat?



Will he get the song at least semi-done in time?



Will he even attempt to sing it tonight?



Tune in next time for the nail biting conclusion to our rather anemic and all around boring saga.



*UPDATE*



I knew my song was nowhere near finished (even after around 3 rewrites and a brand new chorus written in about 10 minutes the night before), but I am really excited about the idea, so it finished what I could and gave it a whirl.



I got some very awesome feedback about what direction to take things, which was great because I felt it was not quite what it could be and needed to see it

through fresh eyes. I knew that the story was a bit narrow and personal

and VERY vulnerable, but I figured that I wanted someone to

hear it before I did another rewrite. To be more truthful, I knew in my

gut that there was much more work to be done, but I kind of hoped that

it might be near complete as is.



Someone gave advice about

possibly doing two versions...a "print" version, close to what it is

now, which is very usable for funerals (it's not a dirge or anything,

more of a song of hope), etc, and a more "radio" version.



Still a lot of work to do either way.
