Challenge: MORSE CODELiner Notes
Inspired by the first transatlantic wireless broadcast from Cornwall to Newfoundland in 1901. There are a couple of bits of morse layered in there. One very obvious and one less so… so that’s the rhythmic inspiration. The lyrics are also heavily inspired by communication…
I love the melody that @oatst came up with for the lyrics I wrote. Far far better than the earlier demo that will never now see the light of day!

Lyrics
Standing on Signal Hill Listening to the air Solitary messages From over there
When we talk We talk in code When we talk We talk in code
Tune our devices Recite our spells The words we use are About something else
When we talk We talk in code When we talk We talk in code

Hi. I thought your lyrics were interesting, although I don't think I understood the meaning. Also, I wasn't sure why you left long instrumental spaces between verses and choruses. I thought the Morse code sequences were interesting, too.

Very cool song. Great lyrics, and a pleasant melody, well performed. Fantastic adaptation of the challenge.
