Cioffi (spoken):<br>

You see what I'm saying? The song itself is kind of lackluster. It lacks ..<br>

<br>

Chris: <br>

Yes?<br>

<br>

Cioffi:<br>

Luster.<br>

<br>

Chris:<br>

I agree. We need a completely new composition, one that's catchier than pink eye. I'll leave you to it.<br>

<br>

Cioffi:<br>

Well, at least now you'll have a few minutes alone with your piano. <br>

<br>

Aaron:<br>

Alone, yeah.<br>

<br>

Cioffi:<br>

Could I ask, only because I've wondered this my entire life--which would normally come first, the music or the lyric?<br>

<br>

Aaron:<br>

Same answer as the chicken or the egg.<br>

<br>

Cioffi:<br>

Ah, so it's the lyric.<br>

<br>

Aaron:<br>

No. It can start with a note. Which can become a phrase. And then you try hanging words off each branch, like trimming a<br>

tree.<br>

<br>

Cioffi:<br>

Sounds easy enough.<br>

<br>

Aaron:<br>

Really? Well don't talk about love<br>

Or you'll have to say "fits like a glove"<br>

Or "As certain as push comes to shove"<br>

You will pine for the woman you're constantly thinking of<br>

You see the problem.<br>

<br>

Cioffi:<br>

Dangling participle. So you suggest staying away from love?<br>

<br>

Aaron:<br>

At all costs. And don't mention your life<br>

Or you'll have to say "cuts like a knife"<br>

Or refer to the heartbreak and strife<br>

When you find that you're missing your ...<br>

<br>

Cioffi:<br>

Missing?<br>

<br>

Aaron:<br>

What?<br>

<br>

Cioffi:<br>

You were saying what you miss.<br>

<br>

Aaron:<br>

No I meant that, well ...<br>

(sung)I miss the music<br>

I miss the song<br>

Since she’s not with me <br>

It comes out wrong<br>

It doesn’t matter <br>

How hard I try<br>

I’ve lost the music<br>

I don’t know why<br>

You may have known<br>

Before I met her<br>

I wrote alone<br>

But if you ask me <br>

What I prefer<br>

I’d say the music <br>

I wrote with her<br>

When you’re writing a song<br>

And you’ve a partner<br>

The room is filled with jokes and chatter<br>

She says something<br>

You say something<br>

She writes a line <br>

You play a vamp<br>

But when you’re writing a song<br>

Without a partner<br>

That’s a completely different matter<br>

No one tells you “That’s not funny”<br>

No one says “Let’s cut that bar”<br>

No one makes you better than you are<br>

I can’t pretend <br>

I miss the music<br>

I miss my friend<br>

No need to ask me<br>

What I prefer<br>

I choose the music<br>

I wrote with her<br>

I liked the music<br>

I made with …<br>

<br>

Georgia (spoken):<br>

Aaron, I forgot my lyric. Can you believe it? Me.<br>

<br>

Aaron:<br>

Well you’re not the lyricist now, you’re the star.<br>

Georgia? Break a leg.<br>

<br>

Georgia:<br>

Thanks. You can finish the song without me?<br>

<br>

Aaron:<br>

I’m a one-man band.<br>

(sung)<br>

I miss the music<br>

I miss my friend<br>

No need to ask me <br>

What I prefer<br>

I choose the music<br>

I wrote with her<br>

I loved the music<br>

I made with her<br>

<br>

[Thanks to Twoey, Kolbe H for lyrics]<br>
