[cioffi (spoken)]
y’see what i’m saying? the song itself is kinda lackl*ster. it lacks…

[belling (spoken)]
yes?

[cioffi (spoken)]
l*ster

[belling (spoken)]
i agree. we need a completely new composition, one that’s catchier than pink eye. i’ll leave you to it

[cioffi (spoken)]
well, at least now you have a few minutes alone with your piano, mr. fox

[aaron (spoken)]
alone, yeah

[cioffi (spoken)]
may i ask, only because i’ve wondered this my entire life, which would normally come first? the music or the lyric?

[aaron (spoken)]
same answer as the chicken or the egg

[cioffi (spoken)]
ah, so it’s the lyric
[aaron (spoken)]
no. it can start with a note
which can become a phrase
and then, you try hanging words off each branch, like trimming a tree

[cioffi (spoken)]
sounds easy enough

[aaron (spoken)]
really? well don’t talk about (sung) love
(spoken) or you’ll have to say (sung) “fits like a glove”
(spoken) or “as certain as (sung) push comes to shove”
you will pine for the woman you’re constantly thinking of

(spoken)
you see the problem

[cioffi (spoken)]
dangling participle
so you suggest staying away from love?

[aaron (spoken)]
at all costs. and don’t mention your life
or you’ll have to say (sung) “cuts like a knife”
(spoken) or refer to the (sung) “heartbreak and strife”
when you find that you’re missing your…
[cioffi (spoken)]
missing…

[aaron (spoken)]
what?

[cioffi (spoken)]
you were saying what you miss

[aaron (spoken)]
no i meant that, well…
(sung) i miss the music
i miss the song
since she’s not with me
it comes out wrong
it doesn’t matter
how hard i try
i’ve lost the music
i don’t know why

you may have known
before i met her
i wrote alone
but if you ask me
what i prefer
i’d say the music
i wrote with her
when you’re writing a song
and you’ve a partner
the room is filled with jokes and chatter
she says something
you say something
she writes a line
you play a vamp

but when you’re writing a song
without a partner
that’s a completely different matter
no one tells you “that’s not funny”
no one says “let’s cut that bar”
no one makes you better than you are

i can’t pretend
i miss the music
i miss my friend
no need to ask me
what i prefer
i choose the music
i wrote with her
i liked the music
i made with **

[georgia (spoken)]
aaron, i forgot my lyric. can you believe it? me

[aaron (spoken)]
well you’re not the lyricist now, you’re the star

georgia?
break a leg

[georgia (spoken)]
thanks. you think you can finish the song without me?

[aaron (spoken)]
i’m a one*man band

(sung)
i miss the music
i miss my friend
no need to ask me
what i prefer
i choose the music
i wrote with her
i loved the music
i made with her
