I Will Write You a Song Reality without dreams, Is just somebody's nightmare, While, dreams without reality, Are someone else's fantasy. Which is why the smallest pond, Remains the busiest place, Shedding invaluable light, Upon the Big Picture. Whenever the dreamers awaken, Only to live their dreams, No longer, making distinctions, Between who we are what we are doing. Come away with me, in the night, And, I, will write you, a song. Soaring between the sun and moon, Dancing beneath all the stars in the heavens, Only to find a cleft in the earth, Climbing the dark side of the moon, Where the Mother of All lends life to everything. Sudden swelling assembly at the top, Melting languidly into the sunrise, Arouses my blissful contentment. Whereupon without a warning, The light within, becomes One, Crescendo of the divine thunder, Upward spiraling sublime rapture! (Norah Jones)
I'm a huge fan of Norah Jones, but this is the first time I've played with adding any of her lyrics. This is a variation on one of the Three Lost Poems, called that because they are pornographic in Chinese. You can argue with them over the definition of pornographic all you want, but they are most definitely pornographic in Chinese. Its adult potty humor, that illustrates the beauty of the child as well as their sense of humor. Making Norah Jones an ideal choice, because that is the intonation in her voice and choice of songs, and she has a unique southern "mush-mouth" that is very similar to that of the old stars of the genre, such as Billy Holiday. Last I heard of her, she was very happy with her husband and children. Like Willie Nelson, she's someone I'd love to hang out with and sing with, but have never had the pleasure. Its a big kid thing musicians and singers do. My favorite video is of James Taylor, complete with his entire band and 100 singers surrounding the walls of his studio living room. They had a blast. I helped build a studio living room like it for a friend of mine who sings and plays guitar, along with 30 or so other people, who all played guitar.
