about

We've all learned everything we need to know--everything we're going to learn--by kindergarten. I'm still not sure how I feel about this, but here's a song about it.

Here some of my original notes for the song that might be of interest to completists:

Should have verses about ...
Hide and Seek
Simon says

///// Waterphone on the new Nilsson song
(Ed note: I wrote this on piano and it did, in fact, sound to me like a Harry Nilsson song!)
Combination of theremin, kazoo and mouth horn
Gauzy piano, maybe with some glitchy artifacts
Gauzy jazz ride beat
(Ed. note: I would say most of that stuff made it into the final mix. I even picked up an electric kazoo just for this song!)

lyrics

D
Did you ever play musical chairs
Eb7
when you were young?
D
But you never got a seat
Eb7
though you darted and lunged?

F#min
So you made up
D
a new game of your own design
F#min
Though you dove
Bb G
you were left standing alone.

D B G Bb A7

Crush Limbo North Bergen, New Jersey

Crush Limbo is the stage name of NY-NJ-based musician Colm Clark.
