Rebekah I had a couple of ideas. Ignore my actual words, these are just ideas to get you started:Avoid saying 'hold me' too soon:>>Hold me once again, change: Dusk comes all too soonUse a specific place (more show, less tell)>> in this dark and lonely placeChange: in this empty moonless caveSomething about this line didn't work well for me:>>The sweetest sound I know, is when you just begin to...change: The sweetest sound I know - comes - when you just begin to (This time you can keep the word 'comes'. I think my problem was in a sound 'being' when something occurs, instead of 'being brought about' by what happens.Does this makes any sense?Still love listening toyour voice-Bette

Hey! You started without me. <sorry, couldn't resistThis is why I haven't been entering critiques. It takes me so long to say what I want that it's irrelevant by the time I send it.--For your sake, Rebekah, I'm not adding a smiley face.--I love your new lyrics; they are so much clearer. And they make sense. I haven't studied them but at first glace I think you've made great strides and may be close to being finished.Bette

First we hear noise in our mind. A joyful sound we call music, Thus we all play by ear... bjb Songwriter

WOW, What Gall someone must have, trying to use "ideas only" to wedge their way into the music business... bjb
