about

Every year I set myself the challenge of writing a song for 50/90 beginning with every letter of the alphabet—without seeming too obvious about it. The guitars, split between left and right channels, mimic the conversation.

"Little Alter Boy" from Soundtoys helped me to give each of the vocals a different character.

lyrics

Have you ever?
Once or twice
Would you consider?
If you ask nice

Did you ignore?
Quite a lot
Was that before?
I thought, why not?

Is it true?
I cannot lie
Does he know you?
Never met the guy

Do you recall?
Not offhand
You played hardball?
I'd nothing planned

Did you recognise?
Not from here
They were disguised?
It wasn't clear

Do you know?
I've read the book
Where did they go?
I didn't look

Please answer the question
A simple "yes" or "no" will suffice

Had they been drinking?
We'd had a few
What were they thinking?
That they should sue

Were you still there?
I'd left the scene
You'd gone elsewhere?
I'm staying clean

You paid the bill?
I paid in cash
To Louisville?
I didn't ask

Were you inside?
I took the tour
You thought they lied?
I wasn't sure

Do they still stand?
Not where they were
You've seen firsthand?
It's all a blur

Do you agree?
It's not my call
Who has the key?
I don't know at all

Please answer the question
I shouldn't have to ask you this twice

So that's your story?
It all makes sense
Not allegory?
It's your defence

You jumped the gun?
I didn't choose
You think he won?
I think you'll lose

Was there a mess?
I've seen much worse
Though they confessed?
And Han shot first

You took the heat?
I clean forgot
Can you repeat?
Oh please, let's not

Chris Harris Bristol, UK

I'm still trying to get the music I record to sound like the version I can hear in my head. To do this I've ended up playing every instrument I can get my hands on. These days, I'm closer to "That Sound" than I used to be, but the journey continues.
