Liner Notes

#acousticonetake #morph #morph3 #feelingloungey #baritone #cellphone

Warts-and-all morph of @lowhum's quirky tune, Motown Tragedy (https://fawm.org/songs/325599). If you're in this morph chain, don't listen yet! Read about it here: https://fawm.org/forums/3625. Keep some stuff, change some stuff, voilà, a morph.

So stuck this year, but here's one. Played on the baritone guitar, so down a fourth from the chords listed below, whatever that is. Is there a melody? Is there a bridge. Oh my, never mind. Carry on.

Here's how it goes: MORPH 3: (tags #morph, #morph3)

Lyrics

walking by the lake, humming some old tune by the late great never know the name know it’s about love, about love’s…

little tragedies, little myst’ries something stolen, something won delighting, igniting softly and slowly, burning ‘til it’s done

wake up, late, smiling, different scene set by the Queen, so much soul keeps me warm in the shadows of the downtown, uptown, all around town talking ‘bout love, about love’s…

little myst’ries, little tragedies, written on paper, folded over again delighting, igniting burning slowly, a guessing game

this record, this cycle, this circle captured in a snowglobe, a fishbowl, a metaphor

talkin bout love’s little tragedies, little myst’ries something returned, something lost delighting, igniting softly and slowly burning ‘til it’s done

Love the direction you went with this - I feel like you take us on a slow beautiful journey with no particular destination. I haven’t heard others in the chain but I feel @lowhum in this song so I think it must be a very successful morph. Really wonderful laid back easy groove and stunning vocals.
