Moan No More Clip 2 3m28s

Story Behind The Song

The pitched consonants m, n, r are central elements common to much of the text. The words, in turn, generate implied meanings from their combinations, creating a collage of storytelling embedded in the music, rather than a narrative or poetic lyric in a traditional sense

Song Description

The text reminds me a bit of Gertrude Stein, although it was not a conscious decision on my part to emulate her. Perhaps G. Stein-meets-Gregorian Chant in a Steve Reich-Philip Glass living room? The small changes in text occur in a similar fashion as Meisner Technique, a mirroring exercise for actors in which each actor imitates the other until one's interpretation takes over and changes the words. The music emanates from the text. The form of the composition becomes a function of the substance.

Song Length 3:28 Genre Classical - Contemporary

Lyrics

Oh om mmm nnn rrr mmm moan no more roam no more roam on no moan no more.
No one wants harm to come to no one no more... mm nn rr...moan no more..moan no more
