Blue Nature

One of my favorite parts of working on the Wonderneath show was hearing different cast members singing melodies that I’d written. Even more special was hearing them singing the melodies to themselves while they were doing their make-up or getting into costume. The ear worm thing. And not just the singers of those songs but performers who didn’t sing at all were humming melodies that I had written. It was a very good feeling. The closest thing I have come to being proud of one’s children, I suppose.

Without further ado, here is a song I wrote in 2005 called Blue Nature. This one took many months to write. I would keep hearing the melody in my head when I was on the subway and it just seemed so natural that I didn’t even recognize that it was original and only existed in my head. Finally I wrote it down and wrote some lyrics to it etc… Here is a version with Kai Altair singing a wonderful lead. She basically took my lyrics and adjusted them to fit the story of the show. Great job, Kai. Great to hear you sing!
