Story Behind The Song

From Aoede's Skeletons of the Muse (2012)

Song Description

Everywhere I turn, I can hear, feel music. The music is in me.

Lyrics

Can't Stop The Music

Monday and Tuesday
same ol alarm ring rings
silver cans clank and
wheels peal down roads unseen
the fridge is humming
the coffee is babbling
a neighbor's dog barks
a train rolls over tracks unseen

I can tune out the train
I can sleep through alarms
If I wait
I know that dog will go inside

But I can't-can't stop-stop-stop
Bda ba bada

Wednesday and Thursday
flashing phones ring ring and
car alarms blare
and sirens are screaming
Conversations
echoes of strangers
a chorus of voices
in high and low ranges

I can tune out the phones
Tolerate the alarms
If I wait
I know those screams will pass me by

But I can't-can't stop-stop-stop
No I can't-can't stop

Whoa oh
Whoa oh
Whoa oh
Nothing but music

I can tune out tvs
Sleep through alarms
Forget about the cars
And while I wait
Friday will march on by

But I can't-can't stop-stop-stop
No I can't-can't stop
I can't stop-stop-can't stop
can't stop
No, No I can't stop-stop
can't stop-can't stop the music in me
