Liner Notes

#pop #rock Not sure what the prompt means, but it was a fun one. Not really sure where this came from, but it is a song.

Lyrics

The horn, as you can see is broken But the commitment is second to none The horn can be seen as a token The battle has yet to be won

The horn was not always broken It was not made that way But the lies that have been spoken Take their toll at the end of the day

The horn will never be whole again We remember it fondly of course Digging for gold in the wind and the rain We’re hit with a sense of remorse

Broken horn, broken dreams Words are lost, ripped at the seams Broken horn, a sorry tale Implications, off the scale

Sometimes the joy in things comes from the imperfections that give it character. The Japanese have kintsukuroi, the mending of broken pottery. No attempt is made to hide the breaks, only to make the piece functional again and beautiful in a new way. Your song has captured that idea perfectly. Love the harmony, too.

The melody and the vocal delivery feels self-assured. Very strong track, especially for a quick write!

You did good with this different kind of prompt! Love your vocals!

Good stuff mate, reminds me of all that kind of folky 90s alt acoustic stuff which I really dig. I think I came up with the prompt while fucking about with some Herb Alpert records and also thinking of Beck’s “Broken Drum” at the same time
