Oh, hi friends! The assignment for my lyrics writing class this week was to write a song based on an already composed piece of music. Fitting lyrics to melody. How hard could it be? Of course, it was hard. It nearly broke my brain to try and retrofit rhymes and story and song form and character onto three-and-a-half minutes of music. I listened to the music over and over again. I wanted to stop. I didn’t want to go to class.
