Nobody Here Heard Him Screaming Last Night

 

Nobody Here Heard Him Screaming Last Night

Here's another ditty from 2015. As you can tell from the last 2 ditties from 2015, I was perseverating quite a bit on that "He sees that it's gone" theme. I guess I don't care all that much, but in 2015, I was so self-conscious about said perseveration that I didn't end up publishing this little tune. 

My brain sometimes wants to perseverate on certain themes. I think that's sometimes what a brain needs - perseveration on musical themes. Maybe my brain was trying to re-wire itself by listening to the same theme a bunch: Like, maybe it wanted to make strong neural pathways related to this here theme. 

Or maybe, alternatively, since this was an album that was about a sad thing, this theme drilled the sadness of it into the common listener's ears. In any event, one thing I appreciate about this here tune is the fact that the hook of it is the same melody, but it sounds minor in some parts and major in other parts. That's nifty. 

The lyrics are:

Nobody here heard him screaming last night??

Nobody here, nobody here, drowning in his beer, nobody

Nobody here heard him screaming last night

Nobody here, they don't drink beer, they don't have ears, nobody's here

Nobody here heard him screaming last night

Crows are crying over everything telling me to tell my soul to sing

He sees that it's gone

Nobody's here, nobody's here, nobody's here, nobody's here

Nobody here heard him screaming last night

Crows are crying over everything telling me to tell my soul to sing

He sees that it's gone

Here's the alternative player thingy, as usual, for those who have technical difficulties when trying to play this tune on the top player thingy:
