about

The mission statement of Mixing Metaphors and also my life. Songwriting as a quest for communication and meaning in life... and to ultimately be remembered. All to the tune of a Phrygian scale and a gypsy violin, and some vocals right out of early King Crimson.

lyrics

The Perfect Chord (May 2021)

I’ve been searching for the melody since I began to sing
It’s hiding in the corner of a dream
And if I try to solve its mystery and find its secret spring
It slips away somewhere behind the scene

It’s out there hiding somewhere in the mist beyond the ridge
If I could only find my way cross some forgotten bridge
A little resolution is all I’m hoping for… the perfect chord

Sometimes some tune rides in on a gentle wind
And you can almost hear a rhythm like the beating of a heart
Once when you feel that groove, you can’t help but move
So set aside your fear
Go find the flame that’s promised by the spark

It’s out there hiding somewhere in the mist beyond the ridge
If I could only find my way cross some forgotten bridge
Some real resolution, more than metaphor… the perfect chord


The depths and peaks of the notes you reach,
Like no song heard before
The sadness and the sweetness of its range
When the day is done and your song’s been sung
At the faded, final chord
The memory of your melody will remain

It’s out there hiding somewhere in the mist beyond the ridge
If I could only find my way cross some forgotten bridge
The kind of revolution we’re all waiting for… the perfect chord
