Story Behind The Song

Discovering a chord pattern that sounded good while playing the guitar, a song quickly came to mind about many contrasting things in our world that we experience but never fully understand-and the wonder and awe connected to that.

Song Description

There are so many things in our world that we encounter as we go through our lives. Many of them fill us with arange of emotions: wonder, awe, pity, love, shame, nostalgia, pleasure. Meanwhile life spins by quickly and ends before we gain an understanding or meaning of it all.

Lyrics

A waterfall a rainy day
A sunset or a child at play
A tiny flower searching for the sky
A baby crying in the night
A photograph a harbour light
Some of us can't laugh and
Some can't cry
Paper towers castles in the sand
Patterns I will never understand.

My life is spinning around and around
My head's in the air
But my brain's underground
So won't you come with me
To heaven knows where
You won't understand
And you won't even care.

Patterns I will never understand
Patterns I will never understand.

A serenade a symphony
A poem or a tapestry
A copper lantern or a wishing well
A page a night a king a queen
A donkey or a limousine
A blind man or a lepers tinkling bell
Paper towers castles in the sand
Pattern I will never understand.
