The following is a song I put to Claire de Lune.
It is free public domain
MESSAGE TO MYSELF/JUSTIN PEEL
CLAIRE DE LUNE/DEBUSSY
To "follow along with it" you need to read it to the melody line.
I would suggest listening to the music first.
It is slow and thoughtful. Don't rush the words.
The first note of the piece is a bass note,
it sounds like it should be sung: ��A mess-age��...
it sn't.
Start the song with the melody notes just after the bass.
Mess-age...
(There are a lot of bass notes that stand out.)
SETTING:
Picture a slightly dishevelled looking woman
sitting in front of her makeup mirror.
She stares at herself...
At that moment Claire de Lune starts playing on her phone.
She starts singing.
You can find the music online.
Please let me know what you think of it.
enjoy....
Mess-age,
to my-self.
Put all of my,
fears,
on a shelf.
Give my-self per-mis-sion to start each day a-new.
With-out all the weight of my world,
some-times stop-ping me.
Mess-age,
to my-self.
Al-ways take,
care,
of my health.
And...
Re-mem-ber I'm strong,
as i need,
to be.
Treat,
peo-ple as I'd want them to al-so treat me.
Be, nice to my-self and be nice to oth-ers too.
Keep all my friends close,
they mean the world to me.
Love my fam-i-ly,
they'll al-ways mean the most.
And nev-er for-get,
that the gift of a gen-u-ine smile,
is,
free.
Sing,
sing,
a song,
have,
a dance,
or laugh,
when,
I need to feel good.
Hug,
hug, my-self,
when,
it's,
not,
safe,
to,
hug,
oth-ers.
Play,
play a,
game.
Use,
my im-a-gin-a-tion.
Don't,
don't be sad,
there's a,
a time to be sad and,
a time to heal all of my loss-es.
Trust,
trust my-self,
trust my, in-tu-i-tion.
It's nev-er failed,
me.
Fight, pre-ju-dice.
Don't let hate, rule, me.
Mess-, age,
to my-self.
To al-ways ask when,
I need help.
I'm not a moun-tain stand-ing lone,
all by my-self.
There will al-ways be re-source-es if I just,
search.
Re-ply,
to my-self.
I am o.k.,
do-ing well.
And...
There is no-one
Nor no rea-son.
For me to,
fear.
Mess-age...
Mess-age...
Mess-age,
to,
me.
Smile...
Reward good play and behavior
