Grim

Grim
With the rain around us we walked for hours
That night you told me
Your parents had flown off to France
And Grim
I thought the girl in the dress store window
Flew with seraphim
Grim

Watching TV
Grim whispers ancient stories
Watching TV
Lights deceive me


Grim
People with tea cups said you were too thin
That day you let me
Pretend we both knew how to dance
And Grim
I thought the girl in the book store window
Flew with seraphim
Grim

Watching TV
Grim whispers ancient stories
Watching TV
Lights deceive me

Many years ago a jazz musician I knew said something like this to me: “Mark, did you ever notice some people make fun of Paul McCartney’s music, but a lot of his Wings songs sound kind of like fusion?”

In fact, I had noticed that. I like fusion. Fusion is cool.

Paul’s song, ‘Letting Go’ is on “Venus and Mars” and Paul’s song, ‘Jet’ is on “Band on the Run.” They’re both three verse songs, but I prefer an AB-AB structure with an extended solo in the middle.
