about

A song about making up stuff - the human occupation that keeps us sane.

lyrics

Something from nothing to
Somewhere from nowhere
Somehow from right now to
Some spark from thin air
Someday from no way to
Someone in the long run
Some sense from nonsense to
Some place in the sun

It’s the business we are in
The game that is the thing
The art that is the king
The story we are telling

Anything from the left wing to
Any race from any place
Anywhere from the open air to
Any trace from outer space
Anyone from no-one to
Anybody from Bangalore
Any time from another time to
Any more for any more?

It’s the business we are in
The game that is the thing
The art that is the king
The story we are telling
We’re selling, yelling out, spelling out

S.T.O.R.Y.
S.T.O.R.Y.

One thing from everything to
One-way expressway
One day from Monday to
Sunday from may day
One step from one stop shop to
One hit wondering why
One-track mind from way back to
One more day to justify

It’s the business we are in
The game that is the thing
The art that is the king
The daily questioning
The decision to begin
The built-in conditioning
The message from within
The story we are telling
We’re selling, yelling out, spelling out

S.T.O.R.Y.
S.T.O.R.Y.

“does remind me of early prog bands like Genesis or PFM crossed with the pop chops and majestic overreach of a David Bowie - “Maze” conjures the piano-based songs of Paul McCartney or Brian Wilson, featuring gorgeous circular melodies which weave an unbroken lyrical lattice - “Elephant” is another smart composition which changes rhythm on a dime - ultimately the best moments are remarkable ” ... more
