This is a response to the blog that I posted earlier, which I actually wrote at 11:30 last night. It’s never a good idea to let me blog late at night, especially when it’s (ahem) that time of the month. I guess this is less of a response and more of a less angsty blog to balance the scales again.
For my music notation class I have to write a song as a final project. This includes melodically notating the lyrics and figuring out some form of piano accompaniment. Here is a picture of my progress as of two days ago:
The song I’m doing is one I wrote earlier this year called Single. I had another version of Single that I posted a music video for, but I decided I wanted to redo it. With, like, actual music.
Single is about Sean. “You only like me when you’re single” type of deal. The lyrics tell the story of me realizing he’s a selfish jerk and saying that I’ve got better things to do than wait around for him to realize that I was the best thing he ever had. It’s a rather empowering song, considering how long his crap went on.
Anyways. I had to explain the song a bit to my music teacher when I went in for help on the arrangement. I obviously didn’t give him much of a background past “he was only friends me when he was single and it was convenient for him.” My poor professor didn’t need me to explain to him Facebook meetups and other lurid details.
So this morning in class before anyone else got to the room, he admitted he still didn’t understand my song entirely. “Why would you be with a guy that ignored you?” was essentially his biggest concern.
I told him it was complicated.
I found this whole thing amusing. If I can’t laugh about Sean, crap, where would I be?
