This one is a full-cast latin swing number, which will be sung by none other than Grandma, herself. This should be a fun one... When I was writing this one, I was trying to come up with either the scene where the Grandmother starts putting pressure on Jane to date wealthy men, or the scene where she's actually going through them. What I ended up with was a song that works for both. This song takes place between "Souls and Stars" and "Paper Silhouettes" and covers some of the time between 12-year-old Jane, who just lost her parents, and 20-year-old Jane, who is fed up with all the pressure and the fakeness of the so-called gentlemen she's supposed to be trying to woo.
Character: Grandmother
Favorite Line: "They only want to catch a glimpse/ of what's beneath their sashes"
Hardest line to write: "You'll learn which is the dinner plate/ and how to Maître d' one"
Why: This line just felt weird the whole time I was writing it... It worked in the end, but it was still weird to me...
