Nice! Really nice. Are "the Free Lances" friends of yours? i love indie ^_^

Hey Brother, here's your "cold cup of water." May God be with you in all you do, and to Him be the glory in all things!

Your Brother, Christian

Hey thanks for your support! Thank God that the love of Christ knows no distance too far to travel! Come by the blog any time and may God be with you!

Your Brother, Christian

I've spent longer than I'll admit trying to find an adjective that would properly describe my view of this piece...ahwell, listening to the MP3 a couple of times or so has at least allowed me to choose my favorite parts, properly categorized:

Poetically:
•The general feeling of focused distractedness (i.e., being so focused on a goal or idea that the other things [such as living] get put aside or done half-heartedly) that I get from this poem is really neat; though I'm not sure that was what you were trying to convey...possibly instead just an obsession with violin/music in general, possibly?
•"He lay awake/His CD looping Mozart": Perhaps I'm not the only one who's last waking thoughts are, "Opps, forgot to turn of the music..." and then proceed with loudly dropping the earphones on the floor? Hahah...
•They interplayed/Making a harmony match": The feeling one gets from playing with someone else who perfectly understands the musical inclinations of the other and both perfectly, uh, interplay.
•The music con amore": I never had considered using other languages in my poetic vocabulary. I may have to consider it sometime [though my current venacular is so limited I'm sure I wouldn't come up with much...*sigh* Must. Have. More. Diligence.]
•Which fed their bows/Steadfastly through thick and thin": Ah, neat. I never thought of the rosin "feeding" the bows before...very awesome word-picture here.

MP3ishly:
•The "background vocal" really adds emphasis and character at the respective places within the piece; I think I'll always be a second violinist at heart 'cause I love harmony so much...
•And I love the aural reiteration of the storyline created by the violin descant/duet.
•Total favorite part probably would have to be the last one-line chorus thing, likely because of the stuff mentioned in the first point in this list.

Sum up: Awesome piece of art. From now on your faithful readers will be expecting corresponding MP3's...and pretty soon you won't be "going indie" anymore because some label will want to pick you up and start selling the stuff.

*scrolls up* Opps. Rather long. O_O But you know, long poems call for long comments. And before this gets any longer... *click*

Ahem. Of course you know I meant vernacular. *groan*

haha, nice! so tell me, how many are there, or do you do everything, writing, guitar, vocal, violin, piano, drums, xylophone (haha, jk), as your thinly disguised talent would suggest? ;)

Hey, thanks for your reply! And thanks for the humorous advice on giving out water! I think I'll leave that up to God for the time being, but in a few years I'll definitely keep that comment in mind!

Your Brother, Christian
