There's So Much More

[G Randy Brown]

This is something I wrote for my kids that seem to put a lot of time into staring at a phone .

optimistic message.  I love your style of composition where the words create the overall form (rather than vice versa).  It reminds me of stage music, music for drama.

That means a lot since I've always considered myself a crappy lyricist...this is one of the very few where the lyrics were written before the music.

The lyrics for the chorus is what suggested it be in 5/4 ...at 1st I thought 4/4 to 5/4 was too weird but then got used to it and thought it would be (as you suggested) more dramatic.

Very moving...I really enjoyed this.?

Thanks I'm hoping to make a video of it soon.

My youngest daughter (22) will be returning from New Zealand to stay with my wife and I for a few months while she works on becoming a flight attendant (she loves to travel).

I think she'll agree to act out the non-speaking role for me which would consist of her in a dark room with lighting only from a cell phone on her face to somewhere in the middle her throwing the phone against a wall (I have an old phone I no longer use that can be used for that) and then fading to black in her darkened room again while she's texting.

Only problem is I'll have to patch the wall when it's all over ?
