A full day of work on the production to the song 'Remembrance Service', possibly to be titled 'Remembrance Service For Those Who Died Homeless Postponed', which will be, at least, the title for this whole project. The mood is a piano ballad in the style of The Carpenters, or Ticket to the Moon by ELO, or Golden Slumbers by The Beatles. I wanted to add some mood contrast so added a sort of hip-hop break in the middle, though still using the musical themes of the rest of the song/sonata. My mind is on the image; the place, the street, a school hall with wax floors and ragged people. I also wrote some words for another song in this series today, The Unremembered. Here are the Remembrance Service words:
All the hopes.
All the tears.
All the dreams
over years.
All the worries,
wasted.
All the scrape,
and try and claw.
All the rain
poured away
from tomorrow
to yesterday.
All the rainbows.
All the sun.
All the endings
re-begun.
And through it all
we had each other,
even when
we were apart.
All the steps
we walked together.
All the wishes
of happy ever.
All those moments
in my heart
even when
we are apart.
