I'll Be Your Mirror

I'll Be Your Mirror

"I'll Be Your Mirror"

I finished this memory mirror a couple of months ago, but I was having a bit of a problem coming up with a title for it.
I don't know about you, but my feeling is that a piece is not 'finished' until it is titled and signed.
A few days ago,  I settled on the title "I'll Be Your Mirror" because It reminded me of a a 60's song by the same name written by American rock musician songwriter Lou Reed.  Before going out on his own solo career, which spanned several decades, Reed was a guitarist, vocalist and principle songwriter of the Velvet Underground for whom this song was written.
Below are the opening lyrics of the song:

   I'll be your mirror
   Reflect what you are, in case you don't know
   I'll be the wind, the rain and the sunset
   The light on your door to show that you're home 

 

 Coincidentally Lou Reed passed away this week, he was 71.
