Since my childhood, I've loved the classic American poem titled "Trees" by Joyce Kilmer. He wrote it in 1913. During Covid I had more time to let my muse wander and I came across the poem and thought it could become a song. I wrote the melody to his words and repeated the first verse as if it were a chorus. I recorded it live at my grand piano
Since my childhood, I've loved the classic American poem titled "Trees" by Joyce Kilmer. He wrote it in 1913. During Covid I had more time to let my muse wander and I came across the poem and thought it could become a song. I wrote the melody to his words and repeated the first verse as if it were a chorus. I recorded it live at my grand piano using the app "Garage Band." A dear friend who is also a songwriter and recording artist named "Earth Mama" suggested that I create a video using tree photos to illustrate the lyrics. It's quite simple and raw, but I thought it was good enough to share with all of you who love Trees by Joyce Kilmer.
