david newman - stack of minor thirds lyrics

Loading...

i was hanging around
in a scary minor key
searching for five seven of five
when i heard a chord
that really frightened me
made me think i’d never survive

so i hid by a four
but it jumped out behind me
i turned around all ready to fight
then i saw what it was
a seven diminished four three
then my fear began to subside
so if you ever
hear a stack of minor thirds
try to be enlightened
if you learn to recognize it
and describe it with words
thеn you won’t be frightened

you can tеll from the bass
what inversion you’re hearing
even though each third is the same
just remember the key
and the chord that you’re nearing
that will help you give a name

to each lovely symmetrical
stack of minor thirds (when the bass says “ti”)
seven diminished seven (when the bass says “re”)
seven diminished six five (when the bass says “fa”)
seven diminished four three (when the bass says “le”)
seven diminished four two
boo!
