Something strange with odd time signatures....
strange
Artist picture
Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!

Lyrics
Something strange 11/4 time for part 1 (Dtwiddle D bass run c b a) (Dtwiddle D bass run c b a) Something strange happened to me at the weekend Something I’m finding quite hard to explain Something most peculiar happened at the weekend (Dtwiddle D bass run c b a#) A into time Let me recall as I think on her name Something strange happened to me at the weekend Logic and consequence went to the wall The ground at my feet opened up at the weekend Feeling like Alice starting to fall AAD ACGxN No choice to fightmy mind took flight Catching alightflaming and bright Did it feel right?why, yes it did, quite Was it insight?Perhaps it might be F#mC#mF#mC#mG#mG#Amerge to 5/4 then back to 11/4 Messing around with my head Conquered and left out for dead Yet as far as I know not a single word was said merge to 5/4 then back to 11/4 Something strange happened to me at the weekend Altered the shape of the future to come Swept up and dashed on the rocks at the weekend Is she aware of the damage she’s done?
