#615: In All Our Grief
Dec. 1st, 2019 10:19 pmHow's the rhyme scheme?
Stretching a little on verse 2 with "word/hurt/served." Change of pace from "word/Lord," I'll admit.
What about the time signature?
Jumping around between 4/4, 6/4. The first measure has five beats, and I can't really tell if that's a "pickup" (we should treat it as beats 2-6 of 6, and not stress the first one) or just a rogue 5/4. Sometimes if the last measure and first measure together add up to a "full" measure that's a hint we should treat the beginning as a pickup, but not clear.
Today is the first Sunday in Advent, or liturgical new year! One year of this blog. Various travels and health stuff meant that I wasn't very consistent and at this rate it'll probably take us several years to get through, but this seems okay for now. In large part because a lot of these songs I don't have much to say about so it's not a big time commitment. But again, I figure I should make somewhat of an effort on those and not just skip to the fun ones. ;)
