I wrote the song Broken Places as part of the musical I have been working on Mimi and the Music.
I read a book by Martha Beck and she write about being strong at the broken places and to me that sounded like it needed to be a song. I don’t really understand how to be strong at the broken places but it sounds like something I’d like to try.
Your song reminds me of what Alfred de Musset, a romantic XIXth Century poet said:
“Les chants désespérés sont les chants les plus beaux / Et j’en sais d’immortels qui sont de purs sanglots.”
(He approximately said that the songs of despair are the most beautiful songs and that he knows some immortal ones that are pure cries with tears).
I love your song!!!
