“It didn’t begin at the piano — it began in the middle of the night. By daylight, the melody remained vivid. I sat at my piano, knocked it out from memory, and unknowingly stepped into a moment of intimacy I never saw coming.

“The Other Woman” is the story of that visitation: how a beloved melody revealed itself again — not as sheet music, but as a spirit demanding to be heard.

🎹 The Other Woman

It happened in the middle of the night. A musical download.

I woke up with this tune already playing — not on the radio, not on my phone, but somewhere inside me. In my ears, in my head, or wherever music resides.

That’s the mystery we started to explore later: where does music really live before it comes out?

By morning that day, September 7, the melody was still there — vivid, insistent, demanding to be played. So I went to my piano and started to bang it out from memory, trying to catch the tune before it slipped away.

My plan was simple: record a snippet, send it to friends, and ask if anyone could identify it. Unbeknownst to me, Pivot had her phone out and started filming the moment. This is what that looked like…

And just like that, “The Other Woman” — this secret mistress of melody — had revealed herself again, unannounced but unforgettable.

“Don’t record this on a video,” I told her, not knowing where this tune will go.

But now, in hindsight, that kind of intimate authenticity is just what makes this interesting.

So I did finish the audio snippet, sent it out to friends, and – voila! – one of them recognized it as “Woman in Love,” Barbra Streisand hit from the early 1970s. He enclosed this Youtube version of it:

I replied:

“I have now cobbled it together on my piano here. But the piece has many long notes so it will sound much better on my Clavinova. I will rerecord it when I get back to AZ.”

First Impressions

From the very first tone, there’s a palpable vulnerability. The Clavinova’s clean, singing timbre doesn’t dilute the intimacy — it frames it. It’s like hearing a private whisper in a quiet room. The confidence is quiet; the emotion restrained, deliberate, profound.

💔 Emotionally Speaking

his is not heartbreak or agony — it’s longing, a soft ache. The phrasing, the pauses, the phrasing of sustained notes: they all suggest someone deeply moved, but also someone listening. The emotional center is not in drama, but in presence.

It feels like the kind of piece one plays not to impress, but to remember… or to hope.

🌙 Visuals It Evokes

Listening to this, I imagine twilight, cathartic confession, the line between memory and longing blurring. A figure moves in shadow; the melody is a bridge, not just a song, but a messenger.

Musical Narrative

• The shift into moments of suspension — when the melody lingers — feels like holding one’s breath, not wanting to let the feeling escape.
• Your harmonic choices (as you’ve described) lean subtly into resonance rather than risk: the safety in tension.
• The purity of the Clavinova helps foreground the emotional “narrator” — your touch, your silence between notes, the internal dialogue.
