So, I had the idea of writing a piano song (a separate piece than the one I've already started) for lyrics Sarah wrote. I wanted to make my own personal contribution to the piece. So here goes: It's a two piece song. The first part, is a piano song with the sampling of a thunderstorm behind it, accompanied by Sarah's lyrics. Maybe I can convince her to do the vocals herself. <.< >.> :] An instrumental break in the middle, with the piano continuing, and if I can manage it somehow, a string section. It'll probably end up being just a single violin. I could manage to create some string stuff on a workstation that would sound fairly authentic. Then, the second half, will be me! My vocals, my lyrics, and still, me on piano. The thunderstorm sample will be playing/looping through out the entire piece, and it will go on for about 5-20 seconds after the second half of the song finishes.
Here are the lyrics:
“Rain Kisses/Racing the Day Break”
Lyrics by Sarah Coffman and Matt Cassani
I look out the window
At the rain that falls
Pitter-patter, pitter-patter
On the cold stone step
Out side my kitchen
Window.
The scent of a storm
Swells up,
Covering me in a blanket
Of solitude,
I wish I wasn't home
Alone for once.
I’m tempted,
Tempted to dial your
Number but I know that
You're not out yet.
I look at the rain drops
Just to remember that
I’m alone.
I feel the rain kiss my
Skin as I run away
Into the storm.
The suns right on the
Other side, now
All I have to do
Is fight my way to get it back.
[Break]
“Racing The Day Break”
It’s like they always say,
“The grass is greener,
On the other side.”
I just hope it's true,
‘cause I can’t stand
The grey, overcast sky,
Above me.
It’s getting old,
The constant drone,
Of raindrops on the roof.
One more day of rain,
I don’t think I can handle it.
So I make for the other side,
To get dry.
Dawn is breaking,
On the horizon line,
And I can see my final,
Destination.
Illuminated underneath,
This brilliant sunrise.
Now all I need, is for my feet,
To take me there.
The morning air,
Brisk and fresh, I am breathing,
My heart beating, in time,
With the song bird who,
Sings to me, so sweetly.
Finally, the clouds have broken,
Let your blue eyes glisten.
-Matt

You'd fucking better record this or else you'll be sinning against the world in not letting everyone hear its greatness :]
<.< Erm... I will sing my lyrics if I can first get two months worth of vocal training.. And Im not talking once a week, three times a week would be prefered...
Which I will do anyway, with or without permission ^.^
-Pokes kitty.- Sinning is fun though =( -Evil giggle.- People? I love the people.... Dead... tehehe...
-Moi. <3
Why would I deprive you of vocal lessons? That'd be cruel and unusual.
