So Merle, we got 30 minutes of studio time left.
Have you got anything that's ready to go?
The one on how hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic led to the rise of fascism is ready to go.
The economic bluegrass is just not really where the kids are at these days.
Anything besides that?
Yeah, I got one on atonal music.
Anything else?
All right, let's give it a listen.
Okay guys, let's go.
[Cm] [A] I dedicate this song to my [D] father.
[A] My [D] dad was a composer.
[G] Modern was his style.
[A] His music always made you think, it never made [D] you smile.
He wrote for chamber orchestra, [G] now and then for [Ab] voice.
[A] Tonality in daddy's world was just [D] another choice.
Now papa's compositions [G] came in rigid 12-tone rows.
[A] There was no tonal center to the music [D] he composed.
He was a lover of
complexity, [G] some have said for tense.
[A] His music wasn't joyful,
it was just [D] abstract and dense.
Give me some of that holy tonal music, [G] it lingers in my ears.
[A] Schoenberg and Albenberg were the [D] genre's pioneers.
Keep your Bach and [G] Chopin, they're melodic and tassé.
Give [E] me some of [A] that old atonal music, like daddy [D] used to play.
[Bb] Give him [Eb] some, Allison.
[Gm]
[Ab] [Bb]
[Eb]
[Gm] [Ab] [Bb] That's right.
[Eb] [Bb] [Eb] Since dear old daddy left us, [Ab] life has been so hard.
[Bb] There aren't enough musicians who embrace the [Eb] avant-garde.
No one plays [Bbm] atonally [Ab] at their home or on the stage.
[Bb] I miss Igor Stravinsky, my dad, and old John Cage.
[E]
Give me some of that old atonal music, like [A] my daddy used to write.
It [B] was hard to sing if you rehearsed impossible by [E] sight.
The emotion is for simple folk, [A] art should be arcane.
[B] Some compositions feed the heart, my daddy's fed [E] the brain.
Give me some of that old atonal music,
how [A] I love those random hops.
[B] I've tried to write that way myself, but I'm not as skilled [Em] as [B] pops.
[E] Keep your Brahms and [Ab] Chopin, [A] they're melodic and tassé.
Give me some [B] of that old atonal music, like daddy [Ebm]
[B] [D] used [C] [A] to play.
[E] I miss you, daddy.
