Carnival
where the gate is wide
and the road is broad
I can hear outside
the approaching tumult
carnival coming
children all running
to that joyful sound
carnival's come to town

and the dancing bears
and the marching clowns
with loving smiles
like emoticons
and the clowns go marching
in perfect rows
they don't break rank
over walls and through your windows

children hear the sound
and follow right along
you can hear the mothers crying
where have our babies gone

Now can you hear that sound
baby callin our names
the raucous throng
the circus parade

and fuzzy bear
and the lions too
eat their trainers
and everybody in the petting zoo

come to think about it
need to think about it
got the data on it
need to wait on it

cause I know
baby baby I know
I just know that I know
because I know

in the midnight hour
be callin my name
stars tumbling down
baby what's my name

hey gota learn
from whence all men cometh and doth return
cause I know
pretty baby I know right now

No words to define the beauty of your music.Genesis with a pair of gear added ? The only question is: "if a custom man stops you at the border asking you what kind of music you do, what to answer, lol Thanks for sharing your art. Paul

@VNTPLA Hey Paul I'm really glad to get feedback like this. Really glad you enjoy it. As for the music style, I guess everyone builds on what they've been exposed to, reassembling the blocks in their own way. thanks so much for the kind encouragement - Karl

[TUCKERZONE]

@RonIrelandmusic Hey Ron. Thanks so much for the kind encouragement. That's an interesting observation about "moving parts". I think I'll always have one foot in the Baroque. All the best, my friend, Karl

[RonIrelandmusic]

This is my third listen, Karl. Your music has so many moving parts it deserves more than one careful hearing. Bravo!

@netguider Well I'm sitting here working on a new song when I read such an uplifting comment. It's always my goal that music should pass the “Would I like to hear it again?” test. So I'm really glad to get feedback like this. "Commercial", used to be a four letter word with me, not so much anymore. But I''m encouraged that this song, as strange-sounding as it is, has at least some draw. I just need a few million people with good taste in music like you :-) All the best, my friend Karl

@RIchardEPfeifer Hey thanks Richard. I get this Zappa thing all the time. I never really listened to him but I'm thinking he must be really good ;-) But I never heard of the other guys you mention. There's a lot of good music out there. Thanks for the good feedback, my friend. Karl
