Anand has the assignment this week:
"We have been listening to a lot of Beatles in my house these days w/ the crew. I want this to be a relatively open assignment but focus on something “beatlesque” this week, whatever that means to u. Figure melodic, smart, catchy, and timeless - but you could just as easily do something weird and experimental. HAVE FUN”
This song isn't even remotely Beatle-esque, though it does take 3 pieces of seemingly unrelated music and piece them together. So we'll count it.
lyrics
When is the last time you dreamed aloud
Cut the cord and lost the crowd
Built a home in your tree or house
3 bridges won't get me where you are
All the riches you have won't help you start
3 bridges will carry me not near nor far
Talk to shadows at the break of dawn
Whispering pilgrims go on & on
We all line up to sing their song
3 bridges won't get me where you are
All the riches you have won't help you start
3 bridges will carry me not near nor far
Near nor far
Before we wash up on the shore
We all should think about 4 on the floor
Before we decide we want more, more
3 bridges won't get me where you are
All the riches you have won't help you start
3 bridges will carry me not near nor far
Near nor far
