Dying Without You - Shooting Star

Well, "Dying for You - Shooting Star" is one of the most read poems in my library, 3rd ranked I believe.
With this in mind I thought you would like for me to inform you of my latest creation.
I bought a new cd. Apocalyptica's "Cult"
album. They are a band of four guys who play cellos. They played Metallica covers in their beginning, but now their cd's contain more of their own material.
As I was driving around track three, "Romance" started and I kind of liked it. Exactly fourteen seconds into it a soft lead cello starts and I was struck with a feeling I haven't had in a long time.
The electrical pulsing warmth of inspiration. I immediately had to pull over and pour out as much as I could onto the page.
Later that day I sat in my room listeing to the track over and over as I cleaned up the timing, added and subtracted and the result is a very moving ballad. I have to say it is without a doubt the best thing I have written in a long time.
I'm not sure if it's completely done. Alone it is powerful, but it is my intention that it be paired with "Romance"

I wish I wasn't so shy about singing or I would try to sing it for everyone I know. I love it. I get this great feeling whenever I read it while "Romance" is playing.

I don't know how to describe it. Its just wonderful, it makes me feel alive.

I tried to post it, but it didn't turn out like I wanted it, so I took it back off.
I will try to get it out soon, hopefully with a link to an MP3 of "Romance"

Til then..
