I saw this video and wanted to write a song inspired by it. Not an approach I usually take. I started thinking about following patterns and what that idea could mean for a song.

I also started playing with some parallel key changes: Aeolian verses, Dorian choruses, and an Ionian bridge. Whew.

The music video is found footage from the Prelinger Archives Sewing: Pattern Interpretation

I am trying to grow my YouTube channel and would love to have you if you like what I'm up to here. Please subscribe!

Measure once Cut twice Go on and follow my advice

Check the angles Trace the path Make something you know is gonna last

Follow the Patterns and the Lines Follow the Patterns and the Lines

Every day Is not the same But it feels like they rhyme

No matter How hard I try There's only so high I can climb

Follow the Patterns and the Lines Follow the Patterns and the Lines

Break away Is what they say Be more bold But fill the mold Stand apart Not too far
