above middle C About
the song:
This is a fast, joyful love song (after a
slow intro) about what it really takes to
make a marriage work over the years - the
kind of view rarely heard in pop music. A
great number for weddings, Valentine
programs and divorce proceedings, the song
could be taken as the sequel to "It's
Time For Roses". Here's how the couple
that meets in the bookstore is doing 20
years down the road. Note: Drop the intro,
slow down the rest of the song, change the
tempo to a steady 3/4 and you might have a
hit country & western waltz
(seriously). Gender
point of
view:
I think of the song as coming from the
perspective of a married man since it's
guys who usually need to learn what
long-term commitment means. But there's no
reason a woman couldn't be in this
position too. The song can also be done as
a duet (see the lyrics page). Demo
