Found lyrics
1991, some lyrics I found dating from then, some with chords attached, a melody I forgot, but that may work with the mood of the tunes we have now. Also a new lyric, after HST died. Two songs about death - there is ForRay too, written in 1989.
Also found an online book on musical composition that talks about balance, interest and completeness, using classical references, but applicable to any music. The more pop oriented sites talk about lyrics being 90 percent of the song. I disagree, unless you are Bob Dylan or Tom Waites, and even then, imagine the same songs done by Celine Dion or William Shatner and then tell me that the arrangement does not count!
Music is not a model, not logic, but lives in the corpus callosum, the in-between, the holistic meeting with the logical, the abstraction meeting with the memory of emotion, or even just the raw emotion.
We need a concrete target for completing songs, and making an album. Live honing would be nice too. Are we ready for an audience?
