Sixty-second song 2008
It lasts a minute and says all I wanted to say. It's made of bass, piano, metronome, strings, vibes playing 'Westminster chimes', choir, synth and vocals; took me about 360 minutes to go full circle, from first thought to finished mix.
Lyrics
A
No introduction -
There's no time - and all at once I'm
Near the end of a well intentioned section A:
A minute's all I have today.
A
Repetition is key,
But repetition's not for me;
Another A frittered away
And I had such things to say...
B
In the video I'll show
The me between the rhymes -
Magnified a million times
(At the end of the lines).
A
So you see, I saw
I'd soon cease to be: I never was
The type to write a mighty epic No1.
But look how far I've come:
I've written sixty-one,
And thought I'd write a sixty-second song
