City People.

This is a draft of a song from my musical, Jack.

I haven’t decided for sure what her name will be — I keep going back and forth on this, but at the moment I’m pretty sure I’m going to change most of the names of characters based on real people — but this is sung by the grandmother to her grandson, Jack. (Picture Jack and his grandmother doing a little Garland/Astaire soft-shoe during that instrumental break.)

There are two kinds of people in this world: city people, and everyone else. Jack knew early on which one he was.

I’ve used lots of copyrighted images in this video, mostly without permission. These videos are my work sketches, sort of like mood boards, to help me visualize the songs, and meant only to be shared with friends. I don’t claim any rights to this work, except to the underlying song.
