The Hand Above The Water

[ericcoleman]

If you have seen any concerts you have probably heard this song ...

I dont think that any other one song of mine has gone through the changes that this one has ... the verse music used to be totally different ... very 80s U2ish rock ... the lyric has changed gender as I realized who the song was about ... and maybe the last change now ... the person that this song was about was a real obsessive ... regardless of a very strong attraction we never got involved in any way more than just friends ... although it came very close several times ... the new chorus is very much about obsession and control and need ... the words need a little tweaking still ...

I am hopefully going to go to an open mike tonight ... we'll see if the new words work ...

I might make it to Duckcon ... we'll see ...

The song in question isn't the sort I'd do in a filk room ... but it should be on the next CD ...

I couldnt quite get through the new lyric the other night ... I'll work on them this week and see about next time ...

Have you looked up the William Auden poem ??? (assuming you are who I think you are)
