Gross Melody


The other night, I heard music coming to me from a dream. It was all complex
with all these different contrapuntal melodies and cool timbres and stuff. It was vastly complex and blew my mind with its eternal beauty. So I got out my iPad so I could try to get the ideas down, but, gosh darn it all, it was too complex for me to get it all down. Even the main melody drifted away from me as I was trying to figure out how to sing it. So, I ended up singing an ersatz version of whatever I heard, which formed the basis of this song. This is probably a crappy mix, so I'll remix it tomorrow if needed. I'll put the lyrics on here tomorrow, too.

This doesn't make no sense - this amazing music is coming to me
But I can't translate it cuz it's got cool timbres, you see
It's to complex for me to sing it and write it down
So I'll sing some boring, ersatz melody and I frown

I'll sing this gross melody dee dee dee
I'll sing this gross melody deed dee dee
I'll sing this gross melody deed dee dee
I'll sing it today

I woke up to this music from my dream
I was stoked cuz it's so beautiful I could scream
I got my voice recorder so I could
Not forget this music - it is so good
I wanted to sing the melodies that came
Into my voice recorder. Music, untamed,
Was coming from outer space into my brain
I pushed, "record," and tried to sing the main
Melody but it flew away from me
And the music was so complex, you see
With moving parts and timbres of beauty
I could not grab ahold of it, you see
It was a symphonic explosion of music
And I found it so beautiful, I might lose it
But the melodies got muddled when I tried to
Sing them into my recorder, and so my beau-
tiful dream melody got forgotten
As you ca plainly see, I feel rotten
And what you are about to hear is what

I managed to record - I feel like a butt
I'll sing this gross melody dee dee dee
I'll sing this gross melody deed dee dee
I'll sing this gross melody deed dee dee

I'll sing this gross music that's not as good as what
I sang on that night, and I guess I am a butt
