Haiku for Snow

Big fat fluffy flakes

sparkling dancing pure white snow

friendly face ticklers!

MaryAlice

Apologize!

Free Form Jazz/Blues accompanies this song

So you say you’re sorry
you know you hurt me so bad
you LIKE to say you
are sorry

you don't like to see me mad
well
I know you are sorry
you
Sorry So and So
But Baby what I want to know
is
when are you goin' to Apologize to me?

Mmmm hmmm yeah
(a little guitar and bass riff here)

you filled my ears with your
Sweet Talk! (sax)
you filled my head with your
Sweet Talk! (sax and bass)

Oh then Baby you say
Baby it's late
you need to get home (all instruments, piano forefront)

Hmmm mmmm Yeah
RIGHT
(bass and sax riff)
(piano walks it home)

Well BABY guess who works at that Bar
on Merchant Street?
That's right Baby
she's my friend and she said to ME
(squakity sax here)
Oh oh whoa oh
That's right honey you hang your head low,
(bass and piano)
You say,
"Baby baby I am Sorry I cheated on you"
(bass, bass guitar, piano)

Well!
Baby I know that you are sorry
You sorry So and So
but What I NEED to know
(tenor sax and guitar)
is
when are you goin' to apologize to me?

(instrumental sweet, seductive)
(sung smooth, watercolor memory, no anger)
Your mmmm puppy dawg eyes
your Ohhhh firm
full
mouth
and your uhhhh well
a Lady doesn't say
(background musicians mumble agreement, snicker)
(bass walks down the scale)
Kept me in a LOVE fog
I mean you make me
mellow
Till
(musicians emphasis phrase)

I found out the truth about you
you Sorry Fellow!

(singer returns to original sassy mood)

OH YEAH

Don't you you beg me you dawg
because
I know that you are Sorry
Oh yeah
you ARE sorry
You Sorry So and SOOOOO
oh oh oh
NOW

(musicians emphasis phrase)

when

(musicians go to minor key)

hmmmm mmm (yeah baby)
I mean WHEN
(that's right)

(musicians give jazzy bluesy build up, back to original key)

Are you going to
Apologize

(2 bar riff)

to ME ?

(musicians resolve)

Sung and performed in "Conversational Style".

This line about "yeah you're sorry all right but when are you gonna apologize" has been dancing around in my head for years.
As with Free Style Jazz/Blues, a whole lot of lyrics aren't needed. The Singer's emotions and the skill of the musicians get the story across.

A Free Form Jazz Song, Original by MaryAlice Sells

I have known lovers
sweating the sheets to be crude
and it felt good
so I believed.
Then
that day
god, like a stupid love song
our eyes met, or
should I say,
my eyes saw yours and,
oh yeah
you can laugh
but the earth
did
spin
and
My whole being knew
I mean
my Soul did know
that
you,
oh yes yes yeah yeah yeah uhmmm
you
are
the one and only.
But I didn't tell you
oh no I dared not tell you oh
NO
better be your friend
than risk the loss from the truth.
Oh ohh whoa I was your friend while she
(bitch)
broke your heart
(BITCH)
I was there for you my friend oh hmmm mm mmm yeah

instrumental; piano, soft drums, some bass
from "memories" (the feeling not the song) the musicians change key to sexy/lovey

Ohhh yeah (ok laugh call me silly and sappy but)
THE NIGHT did come oh oh
OH COME
when you kissed me
Mmmmmm your lips formed around mine and our mouths

instruments; piano, soft soft sax

became one and oh yeah
the body smiles you gave me
body smiles like no one ever gave me
after ALL these years years years
my body still smiles

instrumental 5 bars

and it cries
misery and pain
yup that same old story
yup but hey
(speaking voice) let me tell you
(singing) That story
same
and old
is true so oh TRUE
telling the pain of the
"See ya"
and the joy of the
body smiles.....

instruments, a country western hint

SHE STOPPED LOVING HIM TODAY
has already been written

(talking) thank you man you said it for me

(singing) I will always feel the joy
My body will always smile
and cry

instrumental 3 bars

my body will always smile and cry
for Blue Eyes
and blond hair
(yeah, chuckle, what a cliche')
mustache and strong white teeth and
my

intruments

true

intruments

Love

This is a Jazz/Torch Song
Written by me, MaryAlice
Thank You

"His Breath"

Warm, moist, soft
soft like fur
is my love's breath upon me.
My cheeks adore it
my neck longs for it
on cold Winter's nights the heat
of his breath
warms me
everywhere.

Warm moist and soft like fur
air fur
carresses me
annoints me
everywhere.
