I’m working on a new album, “My Favorite Sings—Then and Now” a smooth jazz version of my favorite broadway melodies. Here are some of lyrics from this project that I've used in my journaling sessions:
1. “I’d be the first one to agree that I’m preoccupied with me” from ‘I Won’t Send Roses’.
2. “I never thought I’d come to this” from ‘I Don’t Know How to Love Him”.
3. “Even without you, my arms fold about you” from ‘So in Love’.
4. “Out into the world we go, planning futures, shaping years” from ‘Love Changes Everything’.
How do you use songs in your journal writing? What lyrics rock your muse's world?
Please share. We all can get by with a little help from our friends.
