Sure On This Shining Night
-"earth" in measure 36 is the apex of the phrase
-working on dynamics and discussed which words are more important than others
-the vowel for the word "shine" should be "sha" as in "aw, man"
-there's no breath between "sure" and "shining"

-don't chew the vowels and remove the diphthongs in words like "shining", and generally throughout the text
