about

This tune has been knocking around for a very long time. I always liked it but again I got stuck with the lyrics.

Originally it was going to be about a labrador waiting for his master who had died in a car crash never to return (that may yet become another song). Then there was a bit about bonfires. I got rid of all that and it became more obscure instead.

Broken Thirds is a musical term, but I thought it would make a great title.

lyrics

BROKEN THIRDS

By Mark Newlove

Verse 1

Out into the ether
Broken and wild, splintered in style
What are they revealing?
Wringing emotion, pain and joy
Don’t try and change them
These broken thirds play for you

Verse 2

With alluring, seductive tones that run deep in your bones
They linger
Intriguing with their mystery
Leading to places far and wide
Don’t rearrange them
These broken thirds play for you

... you

SOLO

Verse 3

Cast into the distance
On the horizon where nowhere is home
At journeys end
Sifting through the debris
Pick up the pieces, forging shapes
No need to change them
These broken thirds play with you
... you

SOLO

Don’t try and change them
These broken thirds

“Mark Newlove writes his own songs, covering a bewildering mix of styles ranging from folk, pop, rock, sea shanties, psychedelia, country, and much more.

But he’s also much more than this.” Mac McCoy ... more
