Platonic Ideal

from What I did in February by Chris Harris

/

about

And after writing some one- and two-minute songs, it seemed only fair to write one that was three minutes long.

lyrics

All of us want to write that hit
Most of the time it all goes wrong
So I present to you this kit:
The Platonic Ideal of a song

Just say "Oh baby" in the chorus
Don't worry if you get "that look"
Study all the songwriters before us
You'll see that that's where they all put their hook

When writing lyrics seems a curse
There's a way that you can cheat:
Don't go beyond a second verse
That means this song is now complete!

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.
