Karsten No. 044

Karsten's Midi files have numbers. I began working on number 44 today. Karsten actually has given it a provisional title - "shattered dreams", and since I had no ideas of my own I did a little brain storming around this phrase. I forgot to take the notes with me (can't read them properly anyway), but I took my little chart:

Chorus:
x - - - x - x
x - x - x - - x
x - - - x - x
x -    x - - -x - - - x

hold on to my shattered dream
I'm not cryin' 'bout things that have been
broken pieces of my past
knowing all may be lost but my dreams will last

(cryin' sung like one syllable).
I will have to check it against the melody tonight, because my charts ('-' marking a syllable, 'x' standing for a stressed syllable) do not always suffice. I've probably come up with "hold on" because I've written a song for Holger with this title a short while ago. Doesn't matter, they won't come across each other.

Hey Karsten, you see, I've not forgotten you ...
