about

I learned to play the piano using a book of sheet music by Rodgers and Hammerstein songs. So I'm familiar with many of their tunes (I also played Oklahoma for three months when I worked in theater but that's another story) and I learned a tremendous amount about harmony from them. This song is from The King and I (yes, I played that one, too) and is one of the best expressions I know of how it feels when you first fall in love.

"I know how it feels
To have wings on your heels
And to fly down the street in a trance
You fly down the street
On the chance hat you'll meet
And you meet, not merely by chance"

And it another one of those great tunes that seem simple but are actually very complicated - a Richard Rodgers specialty. He wrote songs very quickly and, when asked how he did, said, "you have no idea how long I thought about it." Exactly.
