Liner Notes

#uplifting #singersongwriter #girlwithpiano

Well, from a rant (Time to Mourn), to something a little more uplifting and positive. That's been the state of things lately (outragedšŸ˜”...hopefulšŸ™„...disgustedšŸ¤¬...looking at JesusšŸ™šŸ»).

I had some trouble with my transitions between verse and chorus (I need to learn more theory), and I'm not sure the harmony on the chorus works very well, but any more editing will be for laterā˜ŗļø.

SONG UPDATE: I have updated the transitions (though not perfect, are better), and added another verse to make the ending make a little more sense musically, as well as make a plea for the resurgence of banding together for the sake of the common good.

Lyrics

I am a stone, dropped in the river
With the water washing over me then down to the sea
I am tenacious, I am secure

I am a stone, with all my colors
Shining brightly at the lakeshore on a brilliant sunny day
Iā€™m a reflection of the divine

Chorus
With water all around me, though it pushes and it shoves
I'm quite immovable

Though the current may be strong, I know that I am stronger still
Itā€™s indisputable

I am a stone, held in a hand
Now on the surface of the water I am skimming with the breeze
I am flying, I am free

I am a stone from the Creator
Who has fashioned me with purpose to be exactly what I am
I am lovely, I am loved

Chorus
With water all around me, though it pushes and it shoves
I'm quite immovable

Though the current may be strong, I know that I am stronger still
Itā€™s indisputable

I am a stone, with many others
We are building the foundation of something wonderful and new
Made of kindness, made of truth

We are the stones, here in the water
With all the colors, shapes, and sizes, and so glad to be alive
We are the present, and what lies ahead

I am a stone, we are the stones, come be a stone
All for one, and one for all...

I like the lilting feel and those bunched chords in your right hand! What a lovely expression of your sense of self and belovedness amidst the turmoil around you.

Like the previous comment, I was thinking about this song in a musical! It sounds very sunny, summery and cheery. Iā€™m picturing lots of pink/green/yellow for the costuming and set! You have a very soothing voice also. :)

I can totally hear this in a Broadway show! Beautiful vocals and melodic choices. I really like the last line of each verses - wonderful lyrical pacing contrast. Love what you did musically with "immovable" and "indisputable" - fabulous dissonance. Nice harmonies on the chorus. Lovely lyrics, and a truly beautiful song with a great message.
