We're now beginning to hit the fringes of the brightest of bright ideas. This one, perhaps a less obvious package to accompany a Box Set, but it still has some resonance for me as I find value in remembering events of significance -- such as the days a song was born.
It also raises a potentially interesting idea that mirrors my own listening practice for my favorite albums: what if you were to listen and focus on a single song each week over an entire year? What might you hear in the bass line, learn from the counterpoint, internalize from the polyrhythm, or finally 'get' between the lines of the lyrics that, upon first listening, did not make sense?
Q: As a composer and songwriter, what must I arrange into my pieces to help them stand up to repeated listening?

One more mock-up of the Book packaging idea:
Each page would be single-sided, but also considering adding some actual sketches on the back side of each song's page.
