1. Tie A Knot: March 21, 2020. It started, simple enough, with the prompt: Shoelaces, and a picture that Joey Patches did. It made me think of tripping. And somehow that morphed into Alice in Wonderland. The lyrics just flowed out. The drums came next (inexpertly played by me). Then the Juno 60, vocoder, strings machine, vocals, and lastly guitars. don't know why I mention all this- probably because it's the first original song of 2020 for me. La la la.

lyrics

It eludes me
And I stumble and
I don’t know where I am
It stops me
And I fall and
I want to start again
I’ll chase the rabbit down the hole
And wonder where I am
I’ll stop the Hatter where he is
And start the chase again
An insignificant piece of string is where it all began
And here I sit upon a throne and fail to understand
If only I could tie a knot
I’d break the mighty back
A broken bone, a piece of stone
A Queen of heart’s attack
Don’t stop me
Don’t break me
Don’t trail the great I Am
Don’t face me
Don’t fake me
Don’t try to understand
I chased the rabbit and now I know
It ends where I began
The Hatter, he trapped me
He taught me who I am
