[To those who received an email, I apologize for my very first word. It’s corrected now. I really need to proof closer. :) )
Hello, friends! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season & that you aren’t stuck in snow somewhere! I’m not sending a whole week of devotions this time, just the week's introduction on grief.
I have been choosing a song title for each week and then giving a short introduction to each week’s song. I struggled to find the right title for my grief section and originally ended up with a classical piece Symphony of Sorrows. I like it but have used classical pieces two other times and wanted to try to use more genres of music.
After I sent my manuscript to the editor, I started browsing through all my notes for things I might have missed. And sure enough, I have made a note to consider a soul piece for grief, Ain’t No Sunshine by Bill Waters (1971).
After I read the story about the song, I was very excited that it could be much better.
Here’s the file with Both Options. Feel free to give your response by replying to this email or if you have the Editors version of WORD, you may use the editor’s notes.
Thank you!
Mandy
The song with lyrics would be more likely to be listened to because of the words and the length, and the background of the song's composition does make sense about various types of grief.
Hi, I listened to the two pieces, and personally, if I was in pain and grief, (which I have been on occasions) I would prefer the non-vocal which is the ## Symphony. They both are heartrending, but depending on my grief, the Aint no sunshine one does not call as closely to my spirit as the orchestral piece.
