The Great Conversation-Charlie Winston

[00:00.45]Guten Abend, Herr Beethoven [00:03.58]With these words I’ve interwoven inspiration from Moonlight [00:11.58]Since you parted much has changed but your melodies remain [00:16.33]Like flamingos in full flight [00:18.89]. [00:19.27]Please forgive me and be assured I’m only using all your chords [00:24.07]To illustrate that nothing’s ever new [00:28.76]But it seems these days there’s very little left that people have to say [00:34.33]As they pay for emperor's new clothes [00:37.64]. [00:40.14]But I refuse to take my hat to an era near extinction [00:44.14]Without question or complaint [00:49.52]The dialogue is growing weak, some forgetting how to speak, [00:54.83]Or stand up and show restraint [00:57.76]They’re all sick with common sense [01:00.33]Riddled thick with complacence [01:02.56]Where there’s nothing left to push against [01:05.56]. [01:07.62]So, dear Ludwig, that is why I choose the great gig in the sky [01:12.51]Where there are greater minds beyond mine [01:15.70]. [01:16.76]And I’ll meet them all [01:19.14]Yes, I’ll meet you all [01:21.64]In the great conversation [01:24.39]Without time, without reason [01:26.83]I’ll meet you all [01:28.95]Yes, I’ll meet you all [01:31.91]In the great conversation [01:34.71]Where time has no place, no, no [01:37.77]. [01:50.74]Is it me, or has humanity turned slave to the convenience [01:55.80]Of this, so called, ‘Techno Age’? [01:59.86]I speak to you, Ludwig, [02:02.55]because you represent a time so opposite, [02:05.74]When music filled the page [02:08.36]For example: this song here may be too much to please the ear [02:13.24]Because it’s wordy and demonstrative, [02:17.42]But my might is not to entertain the plight of human thought, [02:23.30]Though some may think I ought to [02:26.36]. [02:26.99]Well I’ll meet them all [02:29.42]Yes, I’ll meet you all [02:32.42]In the great conversation [02:34.98]Without time, without reason [02:37.67]I’ll meet you all [02:39.86]Yes, I’ll meet you all [02:42.49]In the great conversation [02:45.30]Where time has no place, no, no [02:48.74]. [02:58.88]Dare I say, as a landscape fades to grey [03:03.13]That a sword of Damocles hangs heavy overhead [03:09.44]Of all our voices great. [03:13.75]. [03:52.47]Well I’ll meet them all [03:55.03]Yes, I’ll meet you all [03:58.09]In the great conversation [04:00.90]Without time, without reason [04:03.47]I’ll meet you all [04:07.97]In the great conversation [04:11.03]Where time has no place, no, no [04:14.41]. [04:14.72]
