It's not finished, but it's better. I donno. I just don't have what it takes.<br /><br />I was listening to "Nothing In This World" again, the studio recording on <em>It's All In The Game</em>. And, I mean, it's just beautiful. Don't think Bacherach has ever written a dud in, what, forty-five years? How can anyone write so many beautiful, wonderful songs? Well, massive talent. I guess that's obvious.<br /><br />The lyric is by Nigel Lewis; the man's a genius. The words are simple. The sentence structure is simple. The ideas are simple. Yet, the whole comes together to something so lovely and touching.It says so much.All the poems and songs I've ever written, with all the big words and complicated sentences and stanzas and rhyme schemes, don't say what this one song says.<br /><br />Is it any wonder I'm discouraged?Catreonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15959115298646880631noreply@blogger.com
