[Before I start: Note To Self: Buy a CD by Amelie-les-crayons, she is fucking awesome]

This is posted mainly for the opinions of Mark and Jenny, who are more likely to know if this question can be answered:

"Did I plagiarize this word-for-word, note-for-note, from a song I've never even heard?"

Anyhow, if nobody else wrote it I'm particularly proud of it, although I'd like to re-record it when I'm not sick and when I can do a Jersey accent consistently and remember the chords (for now, just pretend that I'm taking a lot of dramatic pauses in the beginning). I'd also like to add a lot of piano flourishes near the end, when the dynamics have really built up, to give it a bigger sense of movement and romance.

I'd love some specific opinions on it that I can work on--I'm hoping to have a high-quality full demo CD of both "show music/character music" and "Singer/songwriter music" by the end of 2007.

Here it is. It's called "Paris," and whoever sings it is older than I am.
