CHRISTINE M. KNIGHT

A country rock song, 'Gary's Song' has complex harmonies created by voice layering techniques. It uses a backup choir who often sing antiphonal responses. The choral component of the song is not fully written down in this copy of my lyrics from 2013. It is indicated by the parentheses. The current title continues to be a working one.

'The Real Deal' is written in 4/4 time. Christine M Knight developed this up-beat song when working through a writer's block for scenes related to a performance at the 2000 ARIAs by Nikki Mills, the central character in 'Song Bird'.

The lyrics and music for 'Sunshine Days' developed out of Zoey Blake's subplot in 'Song Bird'. Verses are written in E minor with the chorus in G major. Growing up is rarely easy as teens like Zoey come to terms with some of the harsh realities of life. As part of that process, Zoey is sadder but also develops resilience in Knight's 'Life Song' and 'Song Bird'.

An Australian, Christine M Knight uses the British spelling and grammar system. SPOKEN For years, I worked from nine to five, Lived life and made my choices blind. Friends say: life's got possibility, But my life's on hold; it's stationary. I know about struggle and groundhog days. I need to move on to a different phase. I’ll make the most of my life (I've been given) And not let others cloud my vision.
