Joshua Weresch: To Right

After spending three months recovering from presenting in the inaugural Forge, Joshua Weresch is offering another song to be licked into shape with the flamey yet tender tongues of criticism. Blow on the embers this link www.myspace.com/joshuaweresch to warm your ears with a flickering of Josh's recordings.

"Come," he said, "let's build a seacraft."
"Can we," she asked, "build what is good?"
"Have you," he said, "caught fish barehanded?"
"It's not have," she said, "but should."

What do you catch of darkness and light?
What keeps you building in the midst of the night?
What mercy is there to set this to right?

She said, "Who does the steering?"
He said, "Furthest back, widest sees."
She asked, "If we go under?"
"To right the boat," he said, "is you and me."

What do you catch of darkness and light?
What keeps you building in the midst of the night?
What mercy is there to set this to right?

I would like to see you bring the chorus up in volume and power. You write beautiful melodies but sometimes your notes and words need some extra drive behind it to keep the song moving and to give it more emotional range.
