A simple AABA ballad given a wonderful uptempo treatment by Ray Sharp
Artist picture
Internationally recognized, prize-winning lyricist well-versed in cabaret, indie, folk, country, showtunes and several other genres.
I am the Grand Prize Winner of the 2007 International Songwriting Competition for my collaboration with Eduard Glumov, "I'm Not Your Friend." We also won First Prize in the Rock/Alt Division of the Great American Song Contest. One judge called it a prime example of "world-class songwriting" and said the images in the were "often stunning." I'm a lyricist and have been collaborating with musicians from California to Kazakhstan, over the Internet. The fruits of that collaboration are found here, and at . While the winning song was a hot funk-rock song, with a compact streamlined lyric, I write in several styles. I've chosen "indie" as my genre, but I write anything from cabaret to country, and am looking to work with musicians and composers of all stripes. Currently I'm finding writing partners here in my home town of Philadelphia.

Story behind the song
I wrote this as a simple ballad, AABA, in the style of the Great American Songbook. But Ray took it and gave it a wonderful uptempo treatment.
Lyrics
There’s a crack There’s a crack in the window And I finally feel the draft You kept insisting, I just laughed I promise I won’t laugh anymore I just never noticed it before There’s a leak There’s a leak in the faucet I can hear it drip all night I was wrong and you were right I can hear it from the second floor I never noticed it before There was so much that eluded me So much in need of repair You wanted so much to have included me But I was so much unaware There’s a scent There’s a scent that is missing And when you went away I realized with dismay It must have been the one you wore It slowly drifted out the door I never noticed it before
