There’s a funny thing that our love can bring

It can make me extra sentimental

For the little things

Like the radio and the telephone

And the warm embrace of all your memories

All my friendly hours alone

They don’t erase the times we’ve spent

And you and I will keep them till we’re dead

I’m not afraid of all the things that we have left

But I’m sad about the things I won’t forget

I’m a little sad from what I can’t forget.

Here’s a sick piece of math rock I made with my friend Mailbox’s help (thanks Mailbox)…

E, G, A, B, C#, D, and a high E.

7 Notes… played over and over in a phrase that is 8 notes long means that every other time the pattern will start one note later. Then the rhythmic pattern of four dotted quarter notes followed by two regular quarter notes every 2 bars sets the pulse for which note will be highlighted by its corresponding color in the video. Can you figure out the pattern? Can you hear the colors?

low E=Red

G= Orange

A= Yellow

B= Green

C#= Blue

D= Indigo

high E= Violet

Go Full Screen on this one.

enjoy!

love,

It helps to see the Goldsmith’s kind face

Before he rolls up his sleeves

And starts pumping the bellows and cleans off

His wire brush and other tools

Then eyeing you like he knows how much

This is gonna hurt to make you perfect

————————————————-

How do you make something perfect?

This brings up many questions bout the

Meaning of perfection

Sometimes I think I have an answer

Then it’s gone

They say pain to gain

But I wonder just the same

What if pleasure is the

Quickest way to change

What if we made a promise

Not to believe what this song says

Until we’ve tried our hardest

To see if it’s true or dishonest to us.

I never stopped loving you know it’s true

But too many choices make choice hard to do

So I took a chance that our moment was through

But I never stopped loving you.

You wrote a song I remember the tune

But I can’t remember the words that you used

Oh what a shame when a memory you lose

But I never stopped loving you.

Careful what you choose

When you are confused

You may not approve

Of what comes through to you.

How many times can a heart move its home

Before it is missing a part of the whole?

How many times can a love you have lost

Show you a love of your own?

You know what to do

When you are confused

Take a look around

Love what you have found.

What about this song? Doesn’t it cut you like a knife?

What about your dreams? Don’t they get you through the night?

You and I remember what it felt like to be loved…

And what happens in the heart can never be undone.

What happens in the heart can never be undone.

I threw away a flower
I asked to be alone
I woke up with the feeling that I wanted to go home

I turned my phone to silent
I wandered down the road
I ran into an island that I thought could be my own

What a strange position to take…

I heard the sound of laughter
I knew that It was close
I almost had to ask if it was coming from my throat

I tried to phone disaster
To tell it not to come
I didn’t get an answer till the moon shut out the sun

What a strange familiar sight it was
Like a sign that something had begun

What a mess we’ve made out of love
But a mess can all get cleaned up
