Music

Ok, this is one of those nonsense songs, is it really deep? Or, is it saying anything at all? Well, there really is meaning, you just have to look within and find it for yourself, Grasshopper. For me this is my feeble attempt to model The Cars. I wanted it to be a Rick Ocasek “Moving in Stereo” kind of thing. I really love The Cars. A friend of mine said it sounded like The Cars meet Magical Mystery Tour. And, there’s this George Harrison influenced string section. The one thing I am proud of is being able to work in the line “precociously perceptive.” I heard it when the telly was on in the background and General Hospital was on; It was a line that the character Luke Spencer said, and it caught my attention and I knew I had to work it into a song. Now I know how Paul McCartney felt when he was able to work the word Peradventure into his song “English Tea”.

The More Things Change

Turn me inside out
And upside down
The truth is there and it must be found

Open all the windows
But close all the doors
You’re trying to fight it
But you know you want more.

The more things change
The more things stay the same

Precociously perceptive
To everyone’s pain.
Obviously obvious
To her oncoming train.

She’s overly cautious
I heard someone say
But that light in the tunnel
Is headed your way.

The more things change
The more things stay the same

It’s been a long while
And I’ve missed your voice
I stayed away
‘Cause you gave me no choice.

It’s been too long
Since I felt your touch
I let you go
‘Cause I love you too much

The more things change
The more things stay the same
