MUSIC and the SOUL

music of rick calderone, steve parrish, michele statt

 320 sycamore (13) 

  

IS IT TOO LATE TO ASK YOU?

WOULD YOU WAIT? WILL I FIND YOU?

 

IT'S 3:20 IN THE MORN

 I KNOW MY CLOTHES ARE TORN

MY SOUL IS TOO FORLORN FOR MY SLEEVE

 

I’LL CHANGE THAT’S WHAT I’LL DO

REARRANGE MY THOUGHTS ON YOU

 

320 SYCAMORE

THAT’S ALL I’M ASKING FOR

YOU’RE THE ONE I ADORE, SO PLEASE…

AIM FOR THE HIGHEST GLASS

MAKE A WISH AND MAKE IT LAST

CAN YOU FORGET MY PAST OH PLEASE?

 

THIRTEEN IS EXTREME

TRY BEING ME

YOU’RE ALL I SEE

THIRTEEN SAYS IT ALL

TRY A LESSER FALL

STILL WAITING FOR A CALL

 

CAN I SHOW YOU A RESUME?

TO HOLD YOU WHAT CAN I SAY?

 

TWO AND TWO WAS FOUR

NOW I’M NOT SO SURE

LOGIC STEPPED OUT THE DOOR FOR A COUPLE TEE

 

SIMPLE BUT PROFOUND

THESE WORDS AS I SCRIBBLE THEM DOWN

 

320 FICKLE SHORES

THERE’S A HORN OF PLENTY MORE

A DIZZYING METAPHOR SORRY

I’LL AIM FOR THE HIGHEST GLASS

I’LL MAKE A WISH AND MAKE IT FAST

YOU KNOW THE DIE IS CAST ON ME

ON ME

 

WE’VE CONQUERED SPACE AND RYHME

NOW WHAT DID YOU HAVE IN MIND?

THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME

THIRTEEN IS OBSCENE

LET'S WRITE ANOTHER SCENE FAST FORWARD TO YOU AND ME

 

thoughts

this song touches a lot of personal things...things i want, but will probably never get, some mistakes made that i probably should not have survived, logical conclusions that will never be reached...i love playing with numbers and coincidence and this song has a lot of allusions to numbers, both overtly and hidden.."4" holds weight in the positive, "13" in the negative and "infinity" (space) in both ways...124 holds some weight in the coincidence department as well...

i will always wonder the arbitrary way we find our soul mates...what makes a girl pick that one over this one.?..can i give a girl my resume and show her why i'm the best one? can i interview for the position? umm, maybe that's how internet dating works...

a line here that has a fairly different meaning from its sound is the "cup of tea" line...

we kept it simple (classical gtr, piano, and a nice ethereal gtr that Mike provided) this tune might be my favorite song
