Music (Song 0001)

These are the lyrics to the first song on 'Part 3' of 'The Best Of The Lost Connection (2011 – 2019)'.

Music – think what you like
Music – say what you think
Music – but each to their own
We all have our musical zone.

They're playing much too loud and heavy
That's just a jumble of notes on the strings
That's a beat with no set rhythm
That's just a mix of synthesised sounds.

They are singing about death and destruction
They're telling us about the beauties of the world
They are telling us how life is meant to be
They're singing 'bout what they know'll make 'em money.

Music – think what you like
Music – say what you think
Music – each to their own
We all have our musical zone.

They're playing much too fast
Their tempo keeps changing
The beat is non-existent
Their beat gets 'em dancing.

As long as it's got a melody
As long as it's got a good beat
As long as it's got a good feel
As long as it's not typical.

Whether it's heavy metal, or classical
Whether it's jazz or rap
Whether it's blues or R'n'B
Any style we must agree is
Music! Music! Music! Music!
Music! Music! Music!

Music – think what you like
Music – say what you think
Music – but each to their own
We all have our own musical zone.

Let's play what we like - sing what we think
Music! Music! Music! Music!
Play what we like and sing what we think
Music! Music! Music!

Express, respect, inspire, reflect, release, relax, sing and dance
Express, respect, inspire, reflect, release, relax, sing and dance
Express, respect, inspire, reflect, release, relax, sing and dance
Express, respect, inspire, reflect, release, relax, sing and dance.

What is a good melody? One that travels up and down the scales?
What is a good beat? One which is consistent?
What is a good feel? Music played from the heart?
What is music? Are there boundaries? What degree can we go?

Determined by image, determined by race
Determined by age and how pretty is their face?
Determined by attitude and frame of mind
Wonder how we'd feel about music if we were blind?
Hey Stevie! Let me know.

Music – think what you like
Music – say what you think
Music – but each to their own
We all have our own musical zone.

Music – think what you like
Music – say what you think
Music – but each to their own
We all have our own musical zone.

Music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music
Music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music
Music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music
Music, music, music, music, music, music, music, music.
