Subject: RE: Suddenly it gets serious - new song from alanabit
Alan, I'll echo what Wolfgang said: "A few words opening riches of images."

The song does Anna justice, but I believe it will primarily give comfort to her mother and all those who knew her. It's not a complicated song, but I believe it's harder to write an uncomplicated song that sums everything up in a few verses than a long, wordy one. The strength is in what's left unsaid, because it invites those who hear it to fill in the details with their own feelings. I'd like to hear the tune too.

May you have the strength to get through your song. I think it's important for those at the funeral to hear it. Thanks for posting it here.
