Anyhow - "I Cried and Cried" is quite lovely - despite (because of?) the decision not to rhyme the "blue/you" at the end. Made me think (sacrilege!) of the contemporary Stephen Sondheim song, "Losing My Mind," of all things. Its lyrics, on paper, almost sound like song-poem material. Were this still a phenomenon, I would send lyrics of obscure songs like that, and compare the results.Jeff M.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13914686.post-52737681406871313862022-05-16T05:06:50.111-05:002022-05-16T05:06:50.111-05:005/16/22:
