They’re yours
Some more music! This time, an original song. Well, the music is original; I only adapted the lyrics. I’ve been wanting to set some of Spence’s poetry to music for a while, so when he posted Sestet and Sestet II (go read them!), I figured they were pretty much perfect for a song.
I wanted to use both poems, but I was having trouble coming up with an interesting way to combine them. Luckily, a coworker (thanks, Maciej!) happened to tell me about a song he had written that had two melody lines and used a reprise to combine them. I thought that sounded like the coolest thing ever, and two melody lines is an easy fit for two poems, so that’s what I did.
Listen to: They’re yours.
This is the second original song I’ve written. If you missed it, the first one is here: Leaves.
Hi there. My name is Curtis Hawthorne, but most of my friends call me Fjord.
