about

This was originally something of an homage to Yo La Tengo, but sort of drifted away from that. A song about writing songs. How clever? Not really.

lyrics

Twisted formulas in black and white
Agonizing both day and night
A hypothetical melody
Oh it comes to me with such clarity, oh yeah
A major breakthrough is on the way
I can feel a breakthrough coming today

That's when I realized
I'd known it all along
That's how I discovered
The Science of Song

The realiziation that it takes no beakers
Just some notes and a pair of speakers
Addition of some time and patience
To deviate from major fluctuations, oh yeah!
And even if I've miscalculated
My discovery can't be overrated

That's when I realized
I'd known it all along
That's how I discovered
The Science of Song

That's when I realized
I'd known it all along
That's how I discovered
The Science of Song
The science of song
The science of song!
