Liner Notes

Ok, so this one really is the first word, from the name of the prompt itself. This was quite fun to do...

Lyrics

Choose a word, play around
Forget the meaning,
Play with the sound

Choose a phrase
Something which says
Something to amaze

Choose a sentence
Either short or long
Telling a tale of repentance

Choose a paragraph
Known only to you
Basis for a cryptograph

Play with the words, build your own world
Populate it with wisdom from pearls

Choose a word
Choose a phrase
Choose a sentence
Choose a paragraph

(c) words and music G Todd 2025

That first verse is SO cool from a songwriting point of view. It's what we do isn't it? Choosing words not only for what they mean but for their musicality. Very clever.

I liked listening to this. It has a nice, gentle and thoughtful feel.

I like the way of playing with angles and directions and the mysterious build-up from word to paragraph.
