SONG BIO
It took a little while to crack this one, but overall I’m happy with how it turned out. I hope you like what you hear. Here’s a list of the palindromes I used, in no particular order:

1) Title of the song (letter-unit palindrome)
2) The lyric is a line-unit palindrome, flipping around the solo section in the middle
3) The repeating guitar lick is a musical palindrome (all eighth notes: GDCBBCDG FAGFEDCB BCDEFGAF GDCBBCDG)
4) The primary chord loop is a musical palindrome - | G | F C | C F | G |
5) BPM = 151

LYRICS:

It is 5 am
All over again
By the side of the bed
There stands Mr. Alarm

As you’re trying to rest
He is lying in wait
With his hands on a bell
With a smile on his face

As You lie dreaming of a brighter day
He stands there counting, and the minutes tick away.
A noisy reminder that good things end
Take comfort in the countdown
It’s morning again

(SOLOS)

It’s morning again
Take comfort in the countdown
A noisy reminder that good things end
He stands there counting, and the minutes tick away.
As You lie dreaming of a brighter day

With a smile on his face
With his hands on a bell
He is lying in wait
As you’re trying to rest

There stands Mr. Alarm
By the side of the bed
All over again
It is 5 am

His brand new YouTube channel (link below!) contains the greatest, most important work he’s ever done. He always says this about whatever his latest project is, in the hopes that it turns out to be true. ... more
