Still Sweet was originally written without words. Dai asked me to fit
words to the piece, as an experiment to see if I could both interpret
the dramaturgy of the piece and then find words which were
appropriate.
I felt that in Still Sweet, the singer starts with a feeing of
romantic confusion, and insecurity, but with the support of the viola
and alto flute gains insight by the end of the work.
