A song what I wrote

[SB2015]

During the last lockdown my singing lessons switched to theory lessons.
I mentioned to my teacher that I was thinking of writing a song about living with T1.
That was it. I had no idea how to do it but enjoyed learning along the way.

Here's the shareable link for The Best That I Can recording: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Kpm7BwO-EjwfiFgv6UjNOqoscSguQs9n/view?usp=sharing
It takes a bit of time to download.

This is a recording of the first version, arranged for Alto, Tenor and Bass. I have since added the soprano part, and we are now singing it with a choir that I am in (on Zoom). I am also writing the piano part ready for when we get back to normal.

I am really pleased with what I have produced and that I am now being more open about my Diabetes.

Well done this is such a great work in progress looking forward to the finished version.

Anything that helps people understand what it’s like living with a chronic condition - whatever it may be - is good in my book. And what could be better than a song? Good for you!

Thank you so much for sharing this @SB2015. It is really beautiful and inspirational.

Also a reminder to me (inclined to grumble about being T2 at times!) - about the considerably more issues that T1's have to deal with.
I had little awareness of this before I joined the forum, and now have the upmost respect for you all and how you cope with the relentlessness of living with T1.
