"A Pleasant Sound" a Hook original

[Hook]

Here's another for DIYFEST. I've been toying around with a progression based on a C scale for quite awhile now and the other day I got it but I strayed from my original concept a bit. The verse progression is C-D-Em-F-G-Am-Bflat and the chorus is C-Bm-A-G-F#m-E-D . I know it shouldn't work, maybe it doesn't, but I dig it. Also in addition to my minty coin drums(panned left) I have a percussion track on a sewing machine (panned right). I banged the base the buck up switch with my finger tips for a bongo/soprano snare sound.

"A Pleasant Sound"
written & performed by Hook
Dean Exotica, Peavy Bass, Ice Breaker Mints, misc.coins
& a Brother sewing machine

Inside of us a little swirl
Of perfect individual pearls
That each react, twist & shape
Create responses to correlate

Inspired by the mystery
Of how all this could possibly be
Theory that's evolved to fact
Faith's become an artifact

       Pieces of a puzzle fashioned long ago
       The edges worn, the colors changed
       This image, once clear, now rearranged
       Torn apart & scattered all around
       A truth exists it can be found
       & it will be a pleasant sound

In spite of all that we declare
Our best intentions seem to fail
Most messages are simplified
Without fuel a fire dies

In time the truth is hard to find
The meanings altered to fit the rhyme
We focus on a single truth
Accepting inconsistent proof

         Chorus

Hi Bro,
I dig it as well - and the Brother sewing machine
Nice chorus sweeps on the guitar - and you are THE master lyricist.
Excellent job.
