For Anyone Who Cares to Listen

Music and Lyric by David W. Jacobsen
Copyright 2022 - 2023. All Rights Reserved.

Shall I now inscribe?
Does the world seek more?
Have all notes been played?
Is it just vapor?

Is there any need
For this resonance?
In this hollow space
Is it all pretense?

And Still

I play the notes and
There's melody
And for a brief moment
This vanity
Will echo out for any
Anyone who cares to listen

Start the vibrations
This frequency
Mechanical waves
Ephemerally
Searching for connections
Anyone who cares to listen

And if a tree falls
There will be pulsations
Whether you hear it
The crash occurs still

Should I compose words?
They've been heard before
Will they color life?
We all need decor

Is there value here?
I strive to make sense
Paint life as I may
Offer luminance

And still

I play the notes and
There's melody
And for a brief moment
This vanity
Will echo out for any
Anyone who cares to listen

Start the vibrations
This frequency
Mechanical waves
Ephemerally
Searching for connections
Anyone who cares to listen

And if a tree falls
There will be pulsation
Whether you hear it
The crash occurs still

I sing the words through
Cacophony
And know that it's fleeting
Feign apathy
While offering this echo to
Anyone who cares to listen

Air shift and stirring
Then entropy
But first for an instant
Low density
Will carry out this message to
Anyone who cares to listen

And if a tree falls
There will be pulsation
Whether you hear it
The crash occurs still

Should I play again
Or do I dispense?
Try new Avenues
Is this the cadence … ?

Notes:

If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

If I release an album and ...
