this is the very first rough draft of the song about my first day of school. I don't know why I'm so intent on sharing every step of the creative process with everyone but it's helping me get through these weirdo times.

I want this one to have a second half that's entirely instrumental cello + clarinet + piano. have to find a cellist.

Let me know what you think. I'm feeling like this is too slow. Much love!

for reference... here's the same recording sped up 20%

@owen It's beautiful, but sad. Like the rest of the album. I do like the faster version a bit better as I can hold the words in my head more easily and it's not quite so despondent. Rather abrupt ending.
