Tell Me - Original Jazz Composition

Original Music by samvan@samvan

Along with the poetry that came out of me last week, some song lyrics did also. It has been a decade since I've written any lyrics by my own inspiration like this, and I've had fun! This song started as a few pieces of guitar solo that I was trying to work out (which is also rare), then I just started singing along to the melody I was creating with the top notes of my chords, and lyrics started falling into a first verse as well as developing the melody even more. My good friend Will Padget helped me tie my chorus and ending up nicely, and recorded me playing it. We've also been working on more words, and plan to make a final version with a singer, bass, and drums. You'll be the first to hear it!
This is the demo that we made just to have a recording of the finished composition. The melody of the song is made up of all of the highest notes that you hear me play, and I can't wait to have a singer do it justice. The song form is AABCABC, or Verse 1, Verse 2, Chorus, Bridge, Solo (over Verse), Chorus, Bridge, Tag. Let me know how this makes you feel!
