Tension and release: Lyrics

by Mal Webb
Why play the same thing over and over?
Music isn’t just about calm and peace
You need TENSION and release
You need TENSION and release

The words and the melody take me on a journey
The rhythm and the texture make it an adventure
The chords and the form lead me through the storm to the norm
From the fast to the slow, the high to the low

The dull to the bright, the loud to the quiet
With a pause and a stop,
You’ll work that applause and take it to the top!
Questions and answers, Sleepers and dancers
Extremes of emotion Waves on the ocean
Without hills and valleys, a land is really plain
