Wasn’t sure I was going to make it, but here’s the second track from Open - thanks to everyone for your encouragement so far.

Wrote this for my friend Cheryl (violinist for LA Phil) and sang at her wedding - no pressure (were roommates in LA) It was extremely challenging to compose (love songs are the worst). Dan proposed to Cheryl in San Francisco, and their wedding vows were inspired by sections of Plato’s Symposium - so that guided the song.

Key of c minor (bridge E flat maj)


Reflection

Candlelight
In the city on a hill
With a bottle of wine
You whisper those
Life changing words
And lift me out of time

Where you end I begin
You’re my reflection
My connection to the whole

A perfect circle round my finger
A diamond that once was stone
You give these gifts to me
On one knee
Opening this world I’ve never known

Where you end I begin
You’re my reflection
My connection to the whole
I lose myself in you
Then find reunion
You’re my reflection
Melting into One

(In your eyes, see me
In you I see me)
End to empty conversation
In you, you’re my true reflection

Where you end I begin
You’re my reflection
My connection to the whole
I lose myself in you
Then find reunion
You’re my reflection
Melting into one
We’re melting into one
Yea, we’re melting into one
Melting into one

One
