[ti:The Great Conversation] [ar:Charlie Winston] [al:Running Still (Deluxe Edition)] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.45]Guten Abend Herr Beethoven [00:03.57]With these words I’ve interwoven inspiration from Moonlight [00:11.57]Since you parted much has changed but your melodies remain [00:16.32]Like flamingos in full flight [00:18.89] [00:19.26]Please forgive me and be assured I’m only using all your chords [00:24.07]To illustrate that nothing’s ever new [00:28.76]But it seems these days there’s very little left that people have to say [00:34.32]As they pay for emperor's new clothes [00:37.63] [00:40.14]But I refuse to take my hat to an era near extinction [00:44.13]Without question or complaint [00:49.51]The dialogue is growing weak some forgetting how to speak [00:54.82]Or stand up and show restraint [00:57.76]They’re all sick with common sense [01:00.32]Riddled thick with complacence [01:02.56]Where there’s nothing left to push against [01:05.55] [01:07.62]So dear Ludwig that is why I choose the great gig in the sky [01:12.51]Where there are greater minds beyond mine [01:15.70] [01:16.76]And I’ll meet them all [01:19.14]Yes I’ll meet you all [01:21.63]In the great conversation [01:24.39]Without time without reason [01:26.82]I’ll meet you all [01:28.95]Yes I’ll meet you all [01:31.90]In the great conversation [01:34.70]Where time has no place no no [01:37.77] [01:50.73]Is it me or has humanity turned slave to the convenience [01:55.80]Of this so called ‘Techno Age’ [01:59.86]I speak to you Ludwig [02:02.55]Because you represent a time so opposite [02:05.73]When music filled the page [02:08.36]For example: this song here may be too much to please the ear [02:13.23]Because it’s wordy and demonstrative [02:17.42]But my might is not to entertain the plight of human thought [02:23.29]Though some may think I ought to [02:26.35] [02:26.98]Well I’ll meet them all [02:29.42]Yes I’ll meet you all [02:32.42]In the great conversation [02:34.98]Without time without reason [02:37.67]I’ll meet you all [02:39.85]Yes I’ll meet you all [02:42.48]In the great conversation [02:45.29]Where time has no place no no [02:48.73] [02:58.87]Dare I say as a landscape fades to grey [03:03.12]That a sword of Damocles hangs heavy overhead [03:09.43]Of all our voices great [03:13.75] [03:52.46]Well I’ll meet them all [03:55.03]Yes I’ll meet you all [03:58.09]In the great conversation [04:00.90]Without time without reason [04:03.46]I’ll meet you all [04:07.97]In the great conversation [04:11.02]Where time has no place no no [04:14.40]
