Call Me Softly, Revisited!

Gosh.
It's rare that I am utterly happy with a re-write - usually I have such an emotional attachment to the original, for whatever reason, that nothing I create afterwards can live up to it.
But in the case of Call Me Softly....
....well, sheesh, I must have written eight different verses.
All ok, none perfect.

And then suddenly, it just happened.
It just worked.
And there it was - just seeing the words on paper made me get chills....before even listening to it or trying it on the piano.

When I handed it to MrT the producer, he just glanced down at it, and then he looked back up at me, his eyes getting big.
"I just got chills," he said.

Yep, it's a winner, and we're going to transform it from a pretty song into a sweeping, glorious declaration of love that will last for decades.
If not centuries.
You just remember I said that.
