Working For The Man Upstairs
Another (semi) song! This one’s a little old now, but it’s a favorite of mine.
This was a collaboration with the very funny Jim Merritt, a fellow member of the BMI workshop. The song was our submission for an assignment. We were to write a charm song for a musical adaptation of “It’s A Wonderful Life.” This song is for Clarence, the guardian angel, when he gets to Earth. Perhaps it’s not the most appropriate music for Clarence, but it’s a heck of a lot of fun. And I’m particularly fond of the piano part.
Hey John, where’s the rewrite?
We didn’t record it!
