[Alessio Boni]

Hey,

I'm very sorry to hear that. Spero sia in un posto migliore!!

Also, thanks for the quick reply. Yes, I noticed that it was in the common meter, which is, in my opinion, the best and most classic form to write such a ballad.

And for the first verse, I hadn't thought about the headless iamb, and so I immediately thought "I was FROM the wesTERN COAST" started off trochaic.

Thanks for the clarification, it's something I seemed to have missed.

P.S Actually, forgive my ignorance, but the above could also start off with a trochee, which of the two would it be? Headless or trochee?
