Me & My Song SE1 Episode 5
“For My Love”
PART 1:
Some romances start online, but this song comes from a love story born out of tragedy. Jessica tells the tale of her grandparent’s union before she performs the song her grandfather wrote called “For My Love”. It is a love song, of course, written after the passing of his wife, Jessica’s grandmother. It is a story of breaking hearts, healing wounds and the transformation of life’s pain by embracing the beautiful things in this world like dancing, music and love. Enjoy a small piece of American history before hearing a beautiful waltz written by a man who loved a woman for more than half a century.
PART 2:
Join Jessica off stage, but still “Chopping” it up this week with producer Frank Dorriite in studio at Los Medanos College. There is discussion to be had about this month’s song “For My Love” and what all needs to happen to that song before it goes in to another studio for its final recording. A sentimental ballad written by Jessica’s Grandfather, Frank suggests (in a not too delicate manner) that perhaps Jessica is a bit too mellow dramatic and should friggin’ chill out on the vocals when she goes to record the final version of this breathtaking love song! After a few new vocabulary words and the decision to remove any angry chick vibes from the song, Jessica performs the song the same as she did last week, but this time, with some bonus yummy bass lines from her usual side kick Rob McCloskey.
PART 3:
Jessica is heading out to Fantasy Studios and their fancy pants grand piano, so she can record only one basic track for this month’s song, “For My Love”. This time, it’s just her, all alone and without the band. The production decision was made to keep this month’s song simple and sweet: no drums, no guitars, no giraffes… What? And it ends up it does end up simple and sweet after all: Jessica sits down to the piano, messes up a few times and eventually gets the take she wants. But hey, you’ll still want to watch it all go down because there are other fun things happening like wine, birdie noises and tinkling… That’s right, I said tinkling.
PART 4:
As Jessica records the final vocals for this month’s song “For My Love”, she finds herself a bit out of sorts and well, basically ends up being a cry ass. But hey, having feelings is what the arts are all about right?... I mean … right? So how many takes will it take until Jessica is happy with the vocals for this song? Come on in and find out! (CLUE: it’s a lot of ‘em). But don’t worry, even though historical Jessica is having a hard time getting her s&*t together, you and contemporary Jessica can sit down together and have a good laugh over the whole thing… After Jessica cries, that is.

THE SONG “For My Love”
An exquisite love song, “For My Love” is a waltz that uses beautiful chord voicing akin to the music from the classic crooners long ago. Performed Solo by Jessica Leia, this song is a seamless merge of haunting and melodic piano playing, alongside vocals that range from delicate and subdued all the way to robust and theatrical. This is a piece with lyrics that speak of one man’s gentle, yet powerful love and adoration for the woman he spent his life with.
