Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day, give a man a poem: and he turns it into music that feeds the soul forever!
A few days ago I posted a poem on Steemit, and never in my wildest dreams, could I have ever predicted this outcome!
I always saw this poem as a lighthearted whimsical piece of writing so when @steevc commented that it could make a nice song, I was super curious to see what he could come up with.
The original poem:
A Little Girls Dreams:
Love me forever, never let me go
Tell me you love me, please let me know
Buy me a ring, carve my name in a tree
Do all this, do all this for me
Buy me a house, up in the mountain
With a little black dog, and a big water fountain
Even a little cottage will do
Cause you say you love me, and I love you too
A white picket fence, two cows in a barn,
And maybe a kitten that can play with some yarn
Two little children, yours and mine
That's what I want, please say it's fine
We will sit in the sun, and dance in the rain
Do all the things adults call 'in vane'
We can play in the snow then heat up by the fire
This is what my heart desires
Stay with me, till the end of time
Love me forever, always be mine.

I'm delighted to be part of this. I just sensed a rhythm in your words and could hear it as a song in my head. I just had to find some simple chords that fit. It's a new experience to write a song with words by someone else. I just wouldn't have come up with something like this as I tend to shy away from writing about love.
I'll try to record a better version some time.

Stunning, you blew my mind.
I definitely did not even consider this song material...
But you heard something I didn't! I love how life works out from time to time :D

I may change it a bit. I may change the chords for one verse to add some variety. I'll work on that later
