This one opens with some really unusual chords. The beginning of the recording is slightly cut off, so don’t judge it by that – wait until the melody repeats itself a few bars later.

I don’t really read music (sure I can identify the notes, but I can’t play from sheet music, only by ear). So, I don’t know for sure why this opening sounds so unusual, but I think it is because it doesn’t begin in a standard key of C. Maybe you know? In any event, it sounds rather sweet and sour at the same time to my ear.

That odd opening should be enough to make folks ears perk up if it was ever recorded properly. And then there’s a minor hook or two in the chorus as well – enough to keep the interest going, in my estimation.

This song has some very unusual words for me, as I recall, but unfortunately the recording is so muddy I can only resolve some of them. Still, I can hear enough to know that, like my poetry, the lyrics create unusual perspectives and juxtapositions. Perhaps someday someone will be able to decipher what I’m signing and send me a copy so I stuff in here and we can all appreciate it.
