And Ned to the rescue!

I tried to do a quick search about when I wrote the lyrics to this particular song, but I can't find it. Overall I have written the lyrics to 3 songs, 1 that's just long and wordy and may just be a poem/operatic piece or something, 1 that's supposed to be funny but I don't think it that much any more, and the other one of which I am quite proud.

I remember finishing writing that and looking at it and just feeling like it worked. Potentially it was because I had a very clear visual image in my mind and had characters in mind as I wrote it. This emotional core definitely made the lyrics much better. At some point, probably quite soon after, I had AJ take a look at it. Though he expressed enthusiasm for the lyrics, he has yet to even mention the composition of that song (which I recall entrusting to him), so I'm just gonna assume that's a bust.

That must've been a year ago at least. I remember thinking that I just had to keep it on the backburner until someone came along into my life that could collaborate me as a musical partner.

But then I remembered my good friend Ned, a very talented musician and studying music composition at university right now. He and I have been Facebooking for ages now, and it occurred to me that I should just ask him. This is what I did earlier tonight. And he's agreed to it :D

I sent him the lyrics and the type of song I'm after. He immediately upon reading it said he already had some ideas :D Though he won't get to it for a few weeks as he's busy with schoolwork (perfectly understandable), but I am eagerly awaiting his results.

And perhaps, if I were to finally get some actual payoffs for the work that I'm doing, I will become inspired to actually do some more work on the song writing front. Either as just a collection of music or as working on a musical of some sort. I trust Ned's musical sensibilities, and back in 2005 I had tried to talk him into writing a musical with me. Who'd've thunk that 5 years later it's all come back to him? :D
