>> [MUSIC].

Wander through the darkness, erasing all

the light.
>> Okay stop there we have, we have another
issue here which is really closely
related to the thing we've been talking
about which is the relationship between
notes and syllables.
Here instead of talking about notes and
syllables, the other responsibility that
a songwriter has about phrasing and
preserving the natural shape of the
language, is here we have wander through
the darkness, that's told the musical
phrase, right?
>> Mm-hmm.
>> Erasing all the lines, that's another
musical phrase, right?
>> Mm-hmm.
>> So, without words, just sing the first
three lines, just hum or do doo, doo,
doo.
>> [Sound].
>> Okay, now with the road map that the
melody is laying out is saying, idea,
idea, idea.
And what the grammar is saying is, wander
through the darkness one idea.
Erasing all the lines of the border and
the boundaries they defined, second
thing.
And so your grammar is saying, I have two
independent ideas.
Wandering through the darkness, and
erasing the lines and boundaries and
borders they define borders and
boundaries they define.
And yet your music now is saying, oh,
hold it, let's take that second idea and
slice it into two pieces and separate
them, and put them each behind their own
fence though they're longing to embrace.
We're gong to keep them away from each
other, because we can, okay?
And so you have two choices here.
Number 1, you can create one long musical
phrase, wander through the darkness,
erasing all the lines of the boundaries,
and you can do that.
Or I think maybe a better thing to do is
to create the third phrase as its own
independent phrase.
So I want you to sing it the way you've
got it now first, then I want to make a
little change.
>> Wander through the darkness.
>> Oh, by the way, wander through the
darkness not wander through the darkness.
Anyway, try again.
>> [UNKNOWN] Wander through the darkness.
Through is the proposition.
>> Wander through the darkness, erasing all
the lines of the borders and[MUSIC].
>> Okay so now what I want you to do, is
simply substitute for the word of, I want
you to substitute all.
Say the word all instead of, of.
[MUSIC]
>> Boundaries, they define.
[LAUGH] That's better.
>> Try it again?
>> Wander through the darkness erasing all
the lights.
All the borders and the boundaries they
define.
>> Okay, now sing it the second way.
>> [LAUGH] Wander through the darkness,
erasing all the lies of the borders and
the boundaries they define.
>> Now the good way.
>> Wander through the darkness.
>> No.
>> Wander through the darkness, erasing all
the lights, all the borders and the
boundaries they define.
>> There you go.
>> Leave behind the trail[UNKNOWN] picture
in the sky.
>> Okay.
Take your picture in the sky.
Take your picture in the sky.
>> They'll never take Take your picture in
the sky.
[MUSIC]
Picture in the sky.
Leave behind the trail, that paints your
picture in the sky.
They'll never take away your dreams of
life.
I can't find you now.
Your hiding in a big rain cloud, painting
silently but no one stop to see you.
[MUSIC]
And we stayed fine.
Leave behind a trail that paints your
picture in the sky.
They'll never take away your dream to
fly.
I remembered!
