I wrote this piece in spring 2025. Often I first write the music and then find the exact title. Different here:
In spring this year I as suffering from pain - neck, head - many weeks I was unable to sleep during night, not knowing how to lie down my head to avoid pain. Caused by tensions or sick headache - or altogether? I had no idea, neither had the many doctors and therapists I visited. However, I was unable to play the guitar for more than about 15 minutes at a time, that made me very sad and unsatisfied. So the words "If only I could" came to my mind. "If only I could play the guitar and write my songs", I thought...
With these 4 words in my mind I wrote this opening theme in melody and rhythm. If you try to sing this along with the piece, you can also add "...I would" to sing until the end of the 2nd bar and you will see that it perfectly fits there. ;-)
My pain has gone, thank Godness - what stays from this time is this little piece that should bring joy and hope!
I hope you like it and enjoy listening or/and playing it!
Best wishes, Angela.
