Story behind the song
Keyboard/Vocal improvisation. Method: Pick up a book of old poetry. Scan for promising passages. Work out a chord framework for 'song'. Begin recording. While reading, rearrange poem if necessary into something new while creating the vocals and music. Real-time creativity on three levels- the words, the vocals, and the piano.
Lyrics
"Break, Break, Break"
Break, break, break,
on the cold, gray stones of sea,
that I would
no tongue could utter the thoughts
that arise in me;
for the fisherman boy
that he shouts with his sister
at play;
Oh, well for the sailor's lad
that he sings in his boat
on the bay;
and the stately ships go on
to their haven under the hill.
But, oh for the touch
of the vanished hand
and the sound of voice
that is still.
Break, break, break,
at the foot of the crags of sea,
the tender grace of day
that is dead,
will never come back
to me.
By Alfred, Lord Tennyson
