THIS BEGGAR’S HEARTTHIS BEGGAR’S HEART

Darrell ScottDarrell Scott

Some artists paint with sound.Darrel Scott's

"This Beggar's Heart"starts with a simple palette

His voice, with a sprinkle of guitar.

"This Beggar's Heart that I've been given.This Beggar's Heart has a working door.It may swing wide,It may be bolted... to feel this world no more."

He gently, patiently,adds

color...A string bass is added.

"This voice I sing it has been given......This voice I sing will break down the doorAnd what's inside will find a friend or twoAnd sing alone no more."

In music we say the Texture is becoming thicker.

We have more things to hear.

A harmony vocal.Tin whistle.

"These hands of mine will do your bidding...These hands will play in time tooAnd time will show these hands have matteredIf they have mattered to you.

More to hear.More to affect us.

Percussion, still sparse.

"These eyes of mine, they take your picture...These eyes that see in two and four --I close my eyes and I still see you,And see myself no more."

Much like learning about life...

More things to influence us.

Tin whistle and guitar have two different melodies...

Violin has a nice line, too.

Like life, music can be complicated

yet remain harmonious.Loudest,More bass.

"These feet have have walked me though this lonesome world..These feet have dropped me here today... And I'll be damned, I'm goingWhere I'm going.I really know no other way."

Sadness .... Frustration....

"These words I sing, they ring familiar.

These words I sing I've heard before."

Sadness...Resignation.

"Oh, fare thee well my one and own true love,

I'll see you in my dreams once more."

Thinner texture.

Lonely.

... "This song I sing is fin'ly over,You're free to go about your way."

"So bang the drumsAnd turn the houselights

on.I've really nothing more

to say."
