Happy 2-song Wednesday! After a tumultuous quarter-century of marriage, children and an acrimonious breakup, we rejoin CHARLES and HOPE as they tentatively start dating each other again. Older and wiser, they resolve to do a better job this time.
LONG STORY SHORT demo #11: “Introductions, Fragile As Love Reprise”
By the time we reach the next song, CHARLES and HOPE have been back together for quite a while. Charles’s father has passed away, and this fact has brought their own mortality into sharper focus. Our heroes have settled into a comfortable, harmonious companionship in their later-middle years, and during this song we leap forward through their sixties.
LONG STORY SHORT demo #12: “What Was That”
See you next Wednesday, October 22, for demos #13 & #14: “Still Love” & “Live Like This Reprise.”
