OPEN UP (ode to Dr. Seuss)

[Nelson]

Well, it was time to redo the vocals so why not pay homage to my hero... "Dr. Seuss".
I always loved his style. What a real cool cat he was.

If you sit back and close your eyes you may see an animated me dancing and singing through the clouds, which are the shapes of rolling hills. I'm just saying... it's possible, eh?

As for the structure, Its 3 loooong verses with similar endings, separated by music breaks. The first and last, being the same, with the middle one, varied a bit.

I know I can split the verses and make a chorus of the ends but I don't want to    and you can't make me. 

I have a strange idea for an inexpensive but creative video, which includes folks I know from around the globe.

I'm thinking of calling the group, "Friends of MisterNelson."
Friends of MIsterNelson, are real fans of my work, wanting to take part in its creative promotions, such as, this video idea and more to come.

The idea is for folks to make a video clip of themselves opening a door (any door) to their loved one and embracing. That's simple enough, eh? The idea is not to play to the stories in the verses but to the idea of "Opening the door of your heart, to LOVE". The montage will play during the music breaks.
What cha think?

Well....... It's 3 in the morning...... and I can't sleep

Loved it, you don't need a chorus - songs have a life of their own. I especially liked the musical breaks. I didn't get to bed until 2am, but I sat up drinking coffee and watching trashy TV - can't help but think I'm underachieving
