Score . . .

Transcription of the song Money now completed in Logic Pro X. It's a helluvathing. 

So I said,

I've got a roof o'er my head.

Some people can't even say the same thing.

But it's still not a fact

I can take any comfort in.

I want more to make up my legacy.

I'm not poor but everybody's telling me

Money can't buy everything.

You've heard it time again.

No money can't buy happiness.

When will you learn this fact of life my friend?

So I said,

I've got my very own bed.

I don't give it much thought

When I lay down my head.

But it's cold and it's lonely

In December on the street.

Why do you tell me these kinds of things.

I want more of luxuries that wealth can bring.

I want to be a squire a king a country gentleman

If I can if I can.

I want to get respect for what I have 

And not for what I am, 

Just a man, just a man.

So I said,

It's more than daily bread

That I'm talking about.

Can't you hear what I said?

You see, everything changes 

But we have to admit,

What exists needs to be recognized,

Not merely out of our fear of being chastised.

            Another Shot

Aces . . .

http://clipart-library.com/pictures-of-playing-cards.html

When I see that look upon your face

I know that I’ve been dealt an ace of hearts.

Something starts.

Pulse is pounding like a conga drum.

The blood goes rushing to and from my head,

Turns my face to red.

So ante-up and hit me once then hit me twice.

The stakes are high. 

You know I’ve got to keep as cool as ice.

This game we’re in together

Could end as quickly as it starts.

But I’ll just take my chances.

I’ll just take my chances

Cause I know that I have you

And you’re my . . . 

Ace of hearts.

I know that I have you and you’re my 

Ace of hearts.

Deal me in I’m staying for the course

And if I lose don’t feel remorse for me.

You will always be

In my every breath and in my soul.

When chips are down you take control and then

Bring me back again.

For The Ride

Think . . .

 

https://www.facebook.com/ThinkingHumanity/

Sailing on an emerald sea.
Advertisements and color photographs
Don’t mean that much to me.
Poolside cocktails; 
Love in the sand. 
It’s like a dream that just came true.
I just don’t know how much that I can stand.
Many temptations are swimming round my head. 
So many places that you’d think I’d like to be instead but . . . 

I’m always thinking of you.
I hope you think of me too.
I only want to be where you are.

Riding to the Wellington Club.
I’d have a driver and he’d take me there.
I’d just sit back and put my two feet up.
Money doesn’t measure the man.
All you can do is spend it; spend again.
It only goes so far. You can’t pretend. 
Many times over I’ve seen it slip away.
I’d like to live that life sometime
But baby not today. Cause . . . 

I get a feeling when I’m with you
That nothing else captures the same way.
You know it’s true.

If you see the pyramids rise
Above the desert sand into the sky,
A greater sight you just won’t realize. 
River fights its way to the sea.
Worthy opponents just can’t hinder it.
It always gets to where it wants to be.
Just like the river, I see my destiny.
It’s right there in your very eyes
Each time you look at me and . . .

Perfection . . .

 

https://www.shutterstock.com/search/perfect+score

(from Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow)
". . . "Is it not time to awake from the deceitful dream of a golden age and to adopt as a practical maxim for the direction of our political conduct that we, as well as the other inhabitants of the globe, are yet remote from the happy empire of perfect wisdom and perfect virtue?". . . "


Perfect World
- Huey Lewis and the News

Deluded . . .

https://www.thedigitaltransformationpeople.com/channels/strategy-and-

innovation/the-10th-business-delusion-that-deceives-managers-2/

 Maybe something's simply wrong

About my perception of the kind
Of things that soothe or make strong.
All I know though, I've got to say,
And on this thing I've often brooded,
If someone with conviction offers
True and honest expression,
He isn't merely just deluded.

Taste . . .

. . . is neither right nor wrong . . .

(from https://www.npr.org/2021/12/05/1061669090/kenny-g-documentary-listening-to-kenny-g-hbo?fbclid=IwAR1hZjh6eas-RIO_V6dtkzckTeKFZMvN52Ht9qROZil-YQ71ZDKCU7qOK2w)

". . . If people somehow get the message that, you know, what's really in my heart is this, and it might take me 20 years to, you know, get accomplished at that thing that I know is the right thing for me, but I'm going to put the time in — if they have the opportunity to do that — maybe the message is stick with what you love. And probably great things are going to happen. . . And even if you don't have, let's say, the same kind of commercial success that I've had — which, again, was not my motivation — you're going to be feeling great about your life because you've done what you wanted to do. And that, to me, is the ultimate happiness and peace that you would get in your life if you can do that. . ."

                         No Frills

What's It Got? . . .

https://www.vectorstock.com/royalty-free-vector/retro-vintage-cartoon-poster-decision-making-vector-9306104  

The song has no lyrics,

And no verbal content.

It has no fine narrative,

Prose, even poetry,

No sleek science-fiction

Even neuropsychiatry.

It utilizes nothing 

Like language that's spoken, 

Not modern, nor ancient, 

Not up-to-date token.

It's quite simply music-

mere notes and some rhythm.

It still tells a story.

It was my own decision.
