TAAAAAKE A RAAACECAR

RACEAAAAR A KEAAAAAAT

Lyrics

Palindrome Test [cp0] D - F#7 - G - A7

work is hard help is cheap tasked me for finding right kinda of creep

search the tubes i looked online still all night did i come unwound

flash of thought light in the night make em take the test online-

G - D - E7 - A7 take a racear feed in the intter tubes when it spits out gonna read true

take a racecar tell em to split reverse when it comes out it's gotta read true

D - F#7 - G - A7 h1b2 50 9 10 the writings on the wall before it ever begins you know how it ends, you've seen it before help me out before i'm lose my nerve

G - D - E7 - A7 racecar

give it to the them turn it inside when it comes out it's gotta read true

racecar gonna give it em when it comes out it's gotta read true

Bridge: Bm - F#7 - G - A7 no matter how i try to get to the top i'm still halfway there gotta find a way to test myself find a way untrue g - a7 gotta find a way back home to you

I really have a thing for lyrics I don't quite understand, but that are imbued meaning by how they're sung. And you have that here in spades. It hits, a little slice of the mystic - like getting an unrefined peek into your head. And that's cool! #titfortat

I whiffed on ideas for this challenge so glad to see this one. Very thought provoking and I feel like the song sections are pulled together nicely by the bridge.

Lee - this song became a whole Rohrshack (sp?) test for me. There was the move to online everything including testing when my son was in high school, the pinewood derby cars, h1b visas, the 5090, and then the love song. I like the way the narrator confidently assumes the listener know what he’s talking about and so ends up shining a flashlight in the corners of my mind.

Very cool, Lee. Your use of dynamics in the performance with all the little pauses and fades really work nicely. I like the chord progression, too. Impressive to crank this out so fast!
