3 by Clivey MacDougall

“3 ”
------
A Continuous Play Single audio release by Clivey MacDougall

------------

Welcome to my 1st release of 2021 the “CP” entitled “3”

Why “3”? Well. my choice of favourite superstitious number was the lesser of the choices available to me and I really didn`t fancy doing anything in either 7 or god forbid 9.

The idea was that I would be employing a combination of light Magic, Math and imagery to prepare the 3 pieces in due time for release of March 3rd 2021.

So we have 3, 3 ,2021 / 7 = 3. The pieces are all in ¾ time, though it could be disputed 6/8. I was counting 3 though.. From the very 1st note.

Right from the outset it has been my goal to essay 3 differing genres and I hope that these are clear to any listeners I pick up.

So this free to listen to and download release is actually comprised of 4 pieces

-----

( 3 ) : The completed original concept Continuous Play single . So if I could be both presuming and pretentious .A Triptych of sorts sitting on an ambient White Goose Feather Duvet or polyester quilt if you prefer .

If the idea of listening to a continuous 11 minutes bauks ,then I have uploaded the segments and there may be subtle variations .

Giants: This enigmatic song title will remain a secret until someone actually asks me, “so it will probably stay with me to deathday”.

The idea of the song is going to be familiar to many of us at a certain stage of existence.

Lyrics:

Funny old man starin at the dance floor
move over you don`t dance no more
no more cha cha no more jive you gotta get a grip guy

In a bus sitting there by the roadside
about half a mile down from the turnstile
I couldn't have known what it would get like
the sweat on my chest through the night
It all seemed so terribly real
and the people seemed terribly real
I`d noticed like it was frozen in time
30 odd years down the line
still stuck in time.

Everything still just the same
but you've run out of stuff left to blame
you've burnt out of reasons to live
bugger all left to give
Funny old man starin at the dance floor
move over you don't dance no more
no more shuffle no more jive you better get a grip guy

There's this little girl who sits on her toadstool
You gotta take care she don't make you her tool
and they say that there's no fool like an old fool
and it's so true but she's so cool
and she flutters her iridescent wings
lightly floats from the ground when you sing
though she understands most of the things that matter to you

Funny old man standing at the dance floor
better than knock knock knocking on deaths door
you want to take it further than before
but she don't want to know
Funny old man starin at the dance floor
you gotta do what you gotta do what it takes to get the bloodflow
but no more shuffle and no more jive
time to get a grip guy
it's time to get a grip guy

Scotch Wine and Beer: is another short everyday / everynight Leith story in the telling. I can`t think of a harder shift than sitting begging for change in the freezing temperatures and recent Arctic weather at 9.45pm. Can You?

Lyrics:

It's 9.45 pm and I'm on my way home
9.45 pm and your still sitting there at the sliding door
with nowhere to go
and it's minus 10 below
9.45pm another Wednesday night
you`re not getting what you want ,it`s startin to snow
you`re quickly runnin out of time and you can't
give up that shite

What the hell am I doin here
It's all just getting getting so hard to bear
and I`m tryin tryin so hard
just to still care
busy with my scotch wine and beer

9.45pm you`re sittin in your comfy home curtains drawn
kids in their beds and the day is done
another drinkie hun?

Just what the hell is happening here
no-one gives a shit about the jakies tear
It's been getting to me
far too much to bear
still I'm selling my scotch wine and beer

what the hang is goin on down here
Humanity with naught left to spare
and if you've got yours then what would you care
and your fine with your scotch wine and beer.
