Starts With I

Here is a song which I will post as a work in progress, even though it could stand on its own merit as well. But I am going to invite comments on it as well as suggestions, and then I will revisit it, employing as many of the suggestions as possible. It's kind of like a Choose-Your-Own Adventure: you, the listeners will get to decide the fate of the song. I at least want to redo the vocals after my cold is gone.

The song itself is about how I am completely in love with my wife, but feeling the need to just do more for her to really show that love. Being an artist (if I may be so bold) I often am playing or creating while she is cleaning or parenting.

The chords are compliments of accomplished Canadian guitarist Ken Hamm, who I was lucky enough to be tought by at a workshop last week. He showed us the opent tuning and chords and said that we can use 'em to write a song if we wanted. I did just that!

Everytime I try
I stall midway
I know what I feel
but not what to say
the pen is full
but the nib is dry
so what I want to say
starts with I

So easy to show you
with lips and eyes
so happy to show off my
treasured prize
but when your not near me
I often don't try
so what I want to do
starts with I

I love you I need you
I will spoil you I will feed you
I will kiss the kids good night
I will fold the laundry right
I will keep the kitchen clean
and I hope from this you'll glean
I love and I will try
I love you and I will try
to start with I
