"The Way I Feel Inside"

Backdated, archival post

---&---

Over the past week or so I've been intermittently working on writing out the notation for "The Way I Feel Inside."  It's been really interesting notating the vocal part because nearly all of the phrases begin on downbeats.  But I just discovered that I have some of the note values wrong, so everything after those notes is wrong (which is further complicated because I repeated that error when those notes are repeated).

I've been trying to get better at the formal aspects of music, including notation, but I'm still not very good at the rhythms and note values.  It doesn't help that the first part is a cappella and - because of that - sort of rubato.
