Very moving, and thought provoking.
I think it's adaptable to all types of singing styles too. For example, I can see myself playing this on my acoustic guitar.
This story is a poem sent to me by Lesley Sawyer from a blog on her MySpace site and I put it to music and am posting it so she can hear it and maybe see if it's alright. We don't know who wrote the poem. If anybody does please tell me. j mt
THE GIRL HERE IN MY HEART
If anybody sees her will you tell her that I love her
She might not remember. Now she loves another

I'm a big big girl
In a big big world
It's not a big big thing if u leave me
But I do do feel

The big game dev company that made final Fantasy also made this beautiful number. THe music composed by Yasunori Mitsuda was at its best. I feel like I couldn't be any closer to the edge of my seat otherwise.
