Hey hey, I'd like to present: You Shape My Heart:
The Single version (song only)

You Shape My Heart (Stage version, with introductory scene):

This song (with good reason) cites Theme For Cariad

(3:16 in the single and 5:58 in the stage version). It slowly begins to grow into a connected collection of songs, not only by motivation and lyrical motifs, but also by musical motifs.
Instruments used: LinuxSampler with commercial piano and brass, VPO (Virtual Player Orchestra) strings, NBB (No Budget Band) bass, setBfree for the gorgeous organ sound and DrumGizmo with the Aasomonster2 kit for drums (showing off yet another quitedifferent processing / sound shaping).
This song is musical inspired, to be more specific, it is influenced by Tim Minchin's musical version of Matilda. Thus, it is more lively and a little more fun (I think). I also paid more attention to accents and effects.
The lyrics are below, and since this song actually tells a story, they might be helpful.
Best wishes and enjoy, Jeanette
*** LYRICS ***
When you first called again,
After the intervening years,
You made me sit up...
I'm all ears.
We weren't the girls we'd been.
You are a goddess to my heart.
I'd pray to you from afar:
Much too far apart.
Now, there was my heart alight,
Singing all my love to you,
But I couldn't tell you straight
That I love you.
[chorus]
I care for you!
(She's into you as she can be.)
You shape my heart.
You said it too.
(And you are hers, we see.)
I just want to sing...
Sing my love to you.
I was consoled with admiring you from afar;
(One eye laughing, one eye crying.)
I'd made peace with the world,
But then the world stood on its head.
You gave me a chance to declare myself.
"I suppose it's obvious," I said
"I am in love with you."
And you said: "I am too."
Our love pours in waterfalls
Down to our hearts 'til they overflow.
Then we will burst in bliss.
And touch and kiss!
Touch and Kiss!
[chorus]
I care for you!
(She's into you as she can be.)
You shape my heart.
You said it too.
(And you are hers, we see.)
I just want to sing...
Sing my love to you.
