Challenge: PERSONAL SOUNDTRACK
There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

I'm a #singersongwriter who #needsmusic written to go with my #lyrics. This #dark #ironic #comedy really needs someone to help me write some music for it. #collaborationswelcome - really hoping someone will help me with getting this put to music.

Backstory to this song: I made parts of the first verse of this originally as a #comedy routine. The second verse was the second part I was working on for that comedy as I always joked about the breast faerie dumping a bucket on me as I had more chest that I wanted. My #military career ended with one grand mal #seizure my sophomore year of college. The personal soundtrack song prompt gave me the push to put it all together.

Lyrics

my life changes direction with an abrupt eviction I had a lovely apartment that was just right just the perfect size nice, warm, dark and tight that did not let in any light I have never again found such a perfect home where I always felt safely alone my lease was up with extension rejection at ten months eviction by cesarean section

my life changes with what should be magic I say the breast faerie tripped which is tragic others may want to be well endowed I am not part of the belle crowed my dance career was buried in that C cup shroud with a large chest no was the answer for I had wanted to be a ballet-dancer

my life changes into uniform with my Mitchell Award I have a brainstorm career military is the college path I take not going to the academy for my mom’s sake choosing ROTC was a mistake I’m not a veteran not sworn into service scholarship repayment felt like a disservice at the academy being sworn in on arrival is procedure I might have been discharged as cadet who had a seizure

my life changes due to ill-health this decline eliminating any hope of wealth when finally my breasts were been downsized only as small as the surgeon authorized recovery goes well until departure day waking up on a gurney “you had a seizure” the nurse tells me on my unexpected journey with time and testing the doctors determine my diagnoses I have Epilepsy and Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

I personally write a lot of my songs this way in freeform. What are you planning to do with it? Just to have or to perform yourself?

Great story telling. It sounds like an ‘anchorsong’ for a full music production

Any clue how I can find someone who would like to help me with composing some music for this?

A seriously difficult personal lyric. Not sure what to say except that the writing is very good, and one could treat it as a tragigedy, or dark dystopian comedy (as you started). A coupla years ago I would have jumped at setting this (seriously) but now it's too close to the bone...
