Music Revisions

So I've been waiting for the summer vacation to revise my songs. But not really revise them. What I've been wanting to do since last summer was re-SiNG some of the songs. I got a lot of that done last summer. But I wasn't quite done. I had started with Volume 1 and worked my way up through Volume 11 re-singing the songs at which I believed I could do a better job. And then school started again, and, being a music and art teacher, I had to dedicate my time to that. But here we are with another suumer and I am picking up where I left off. But instead of Volume 12, I skippped to Volume 13 because I think there were two songs there that needed re-singing most of all. Looking Back and Time in the Sun. It just so happens that Time in the Sun seems to be the most popular of ALL my songs, since it's received more "listens" than any of my other songs. Although I'm glad people like it, I was always wary of my singing voice on that song and wanted to re-sing it. Unfotunately, it's another very difficult song for me to sing. But on my second day of trying, (today) I got a version that is at least acceptable. I even improved the lyrics somewhat since I had the chance to do that. I figure it's like my novels. If you can improve any portion of it, go for it and I did. So I hope those of you have liked that song, will give it another listen. And I also hope that you agree that it's now a better version. (But I'm still no Frank Sinatra. Far from it. Very far.)
