Music Is Math

Letter Seventeen

A pop song, featuring far more keyboard work than normal for me.

F - Am - Dm - C

Words are like numbers
And numbers like words
There are these patterns
In the sounds that you heard
You must complete it
Finish the phrase
Close out the cycle
You’ll find a way

Am - Dm - G
Am - Dm - G - C
And it seems for me
That music is math

It feels compulsive
A tugging need
To resolve the phrase
You can’t leave it be
Blur the distinction
Between numbers and art
It can keep you up at night
It makes you who you are
