All I need are the chord changes;
please, let them flow harmoniously
into a melody that is pleasing
yet not... trite. Nor common, please...
Oops! Was that my entrance?
I missed it entirely.
Do I get a re-do? Can I try again?
I know this is the concert,
and we’ve had so many rehearsals,
but I can’t seem to get the timing right.
I can’t seem to understand the melody,
for it has been arranged by
an... interesting composer.
Ah, but... good! Good now;
here’s the part I understand,
here’s the part I can remember.
This segment is my favorite
and I effortlessly ease into the music.
Which part went where;
have we played it, and are we...
there?
I know, I know; It’s my song, darlings,
it’s my song; I should know how it goes,
I should.
It’s my song, and I’m totally lost. |
