One Letter

This is an original song by Emily Brown that I arranged for the Free Key Choir to sing for their concert, After the Rain, which took place in March of 2023.

Lyrics:

In an alternate universe it’s mostly the same
only minor adjustments from frame to frame
and were you dropped in an instant you’d not know the difference
till many years later you noticed your name’s

got a letter where some other letter had been
and you wonder, is it you that’s invaded your skin
well there’s no use in murmuring or wondering what’s been
it’s no difference, not really, don’t sweat it

small reminders may crop up; are they really there
some believe there’s hint in the berenstain bears
well you’ll put it together and later untether
you’ll remember and then you’ll forget it
