Liner Notes
Nice prompt for a skirmish this
Lyrics
Boxes hidden up in attics
Buried in the basement
Secrets kept not thrown away
Waiting to be found
Cardboard boxes stacked so high
Waiting for the move
When you get your new place
Your life will improve
Boxes upon boxes
Stacked up to the sky
Each one is a mystery
Hoarded by a magpie
Boxes to obtain
Boxes to contain
The contents of your life
Jewelery and fish knifes
Boxes in the attic
Or buried in the basement
Secrets kept, not thrown away
Waiting to be found
(c) words and music G Todd 2025

@tjeff
Fun story, reminds me of different times in my life for sure. I like the lines "boxes to obtain, boxes to contain." Nice melody.

Nice, easy vibe to this. Great catchy melody. Interesting idea about secrets waiting to be found. So intriguing!

As a kid I used to love finding secret treasures in the basement boxes 📦 nice song Gordon, you're always so quick with these 😎

I can relate to the "Hoarded by a magpie"line I've still got boxes from our last move over 25 years ago! I enjoyed this a lot

After my last house move 3 years ago, I never wanted to see another box again- but my life DID improve! Some nice observations here

Nice lyrics. Enjoyable melody. I like the secrets reference conjures up a lot of images. The metaphor of the box is quite wide. Nice write
