 It was sometime in December, I think, even while I was still working on "OoOH," when she and I were talking about all these songs that used the same certain words, give or take a word. And then I went to my room and started playing a lyric-less chord progression that I had been working on a couple months earlier, and this materialized in less than half an hour.

As I tried it out, during those last weeks in China, my roommate would ask, "Weien, is this about...?"
...He was a keen guy. smile

Hope, Love, and Glory

(Click to download from vs)

Tell me about hope
Is it that kind of dream
Where you open your eyes
Then close and try to reprise
What's gone
What's gone
Tell me about hope

Tell me about love
Is it some kind of sweet
Thing whose taste you can't define
But know you want to redesign
What's there
What's there
Tell me about love

And then I'll tell you
Tell you about reality
I'll tell you
Tell you about distance
But you'll say hope, say love, say glory

Tell me about glory
Is it kind of what you feel
When your soul finishes a fast
And figures out how to contrast
What's gone
What's there
Tell me about glory

And then I'll tell you
Tell you about reality
I'll tell you
Tell you about time
And you'll say hope, say love, say glory

And then I'll tell you
Tell you about reality
I'll tell you
Tell you about Faith
Please say hope, say love, say glory

*gasp*

I had a brilliant and lengthy dissertation on your poem which I just deleted to sign in.

Short story:

The preview was okay. ("okay..." *moan* I loved the preview: it was _too_ thoughtful)
The first listen was good.
Now, after nonstop listening for 20-30 min., it makes perfect sense and I love it. (hopefully the "right" perfect sense...not just mine)

Really--

Especially the timbre of your voice (which is increasingly intoxicating.)

*sigh*

Let's talk about it sometime in a future [email/chat/cellular] reunion.
