Sometimes the individual songs gather together. In my tradition an example. A poem by Naomi Shemer, ( over the honey, over the sting), becomes a blessing, then a song that touches and connects the hearts of many. Take a look. It is Hebrew with English sub-titles but hopefully beyond language. What is you song?
Hi Bruce, I just watched the video and your characterization rings true. A song that captures my heart is the medley of “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” and “What A Wonderful World,” sung by Israel Kamakawewo-ole. For me it represents both connection with others and with Nature. The beauty of both.
The Rochester NY version of "Over the Rainbow" is by Don Potter in the homegrown Chuck Mangione ensemble. Eastman School of Music. Here's one.... just one cut... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UU62fa9IkQ0
Somewhere in my LP dustbin lives “Feels So Good.” Don Potter affords a polished jazz rendition of Over The Rainbow. The progression of this song, from Judy Garland’s original performance in The Wizard of Oz through to the twenty-first century, is one measure of this song’s appeal.
I wonder how a duet of Judy Garland and Iz performing the medley might work? AI and CGI might hold the answer…
I saw Potter perform so many times in Rochester and Toronto. Each version of OTR was so unique. As you say it progressed. A part of the progression was the change in Potter's voice. As it became raspier and a little gravelly it enhanced the performance for me. Perhaps, and hopefully a sign of my own "songs" progression.

Thank you for the share! I think my song is that of a thread, uplifting and stitching together.
"Dream Weavers?"

So good when you find ways to stimulate the muses’ curiosity! A double scoop waffle cone could do the same for me…
My crystal ball foretells more pictures of Nashville - The Grand Ole Opree and Minnie Pearl to Sarah Jarosz!
I’m trying to imagine the 3-muse harmony on the return trip! Have fun ya’ll.
If you could get the muses singing in harmony what might be the possibilities.....
They aren’t?
Are they?
From Typist’s perspective… they sound… like WeBanjo3! Moving right along and pretty happy about it. https://youtu.be/N2StkxaUwRM
Reader’s perspective? 🤷♀️
Can a reader with a fragmented perspective see unity of the muses song?
Is that up to them to decide?
