Too Many Words was included in the top 30 list for the CONTEMPORARY POP DANCE Category of the 2022 Australian Songwriting Contest. 

I was thinking one day about how my songs are wordy.  I had the thought that I could write one that was mostly the words "too many words" and would have far fewer words than most.  Naturally irony prevailed and "Too Many Words" probably has too many words.

=========================

Chorus 1:
Too many words
Get in the way
Of all the clever things
I was planning to say
Too many words
Over the top
I know what I'm doing
But I can't seem to stop

Verse 1:
I've been nervous thinking
About what I'd say tonight
I rehearsed a whole lot cuz
I wanted to get it right
I was looking here and there
Through all the words I knew
To find the words to tell you
How I feel about you

Chorus 2:
Too many words
Got in the way
Of whatever it was I thought
That I wanted say
The most important things
Are hard to convey
That's when too many words
Get in the way

Bridge:
Long as I remember it's always been this way
No matter what I talk about I've got too much to say
All my songs are far too long
All my stories are long too
I rarely choose a single word when 5 or 10 will do.

Verse 2:
I stumbled over adjectives
Adverbs, nouns and verbs
All I heard myself say
was a jumbled mess of words
Felt i should Apologise
For what I'd put you through
Before I could you smiled and said
You already knew

Chorus 3:
I wasn't sure
What it was I heard
I was still caught up in my
Avalanche of words
I felt so alive like I could
Laugh and dance and sing
But I couldn't manage
to say a single thing

Chorus 4:
You taught me a lot
‘bout talking since that day
I’ve learned that what you hear
Matters more than what I say
I still got a ways to go
Before I master brevity
But I’m getting better at telling you
what you mean to me
I took some time and thought about
All the words I could do without
One by one I cut them out
'Til the only words left numbered three

Too Many Words

Find Me

All I Have

Safety Net

Lyrics

I'm afraid of everything I love
I never feel that I'm enough
I just want to feel free
Oh, I just want to be okay with me
hum hum hum badum badum badum

Now on a completely different note, I saw a little green snake
He was very cute and I can't take that away
I want to bless all the nature that I see
Now that I have sung to it and it's heard of me
la da da da da da dum

Modern Maverick

[Intro]

It’s my birthday
I remember. Happy birthday. In life, not everybody will wish you what you wish them. Remember that. Remember it good

[Verse I]

This is my bittersweet symphony
I hope you pray for me
Just like I do for you
Experiences of my life
I bring in full
I’m soul so pure
But, I’ll let you do the talking
Why they ask I do they talking
Only time should do the tocking
Cos when these Niggers tryna act like things’ sunny
But really did nothing
Only thing I ever did was not
Dissing ‘em for that
Satisfaction is something which you get every time they didn’t but him
He walks out
His lucks out
These Niggers wouldn’t hop in
They wouldn’t help him
But my aim is so real
I’m so real
Everything I ever did was so real
I fall for their flaws
They fall for GOD’s laws
LORD knows me well
IT knows me well
But I’ll let GOD do it
When I grow ole and I go
Till then you’ll miss me
But I’m something you don’t get everyday
Till then you’ll miss me
Till then you’ll miss me

[Hook]

I trust hope
That you wish it for me
Like I wish it for you
All the wins that you do

I trust hope
That you wish it for me
Like I wish it for you
All the good that I could

I trust hope
That you wishing for me
What I’m wish it for you
What you wishing for me

I trust hope
That you wishing for me
What I’m wish it for you
What you wishing for me

[Verse II]

If death is our only way to escape the pains of this world
It’s only worth it we live long enough and die joyfully
But fuck roses
It wasn’t
That’s why
Whenever I pray
I don’t pray for blessings
I pray for forgiveness and thanksgiving
Because GOD never cease to bless me
Wrong actions is supposed to bring us down to our knees
It supposed to
Only time our course do
It’s a curse too
We’re supposed to be the ones who’re flaw from
What we here for
All the things you ever cared for
Is dust form
And lostful
Rustful
It isn’t easy in this world
What’s the madness for
All these Niggers wanna act like they know
But still got foes some of their Niggers
But still got put someone unease
All the things they’ve done for them to ease
They know how it feels
When it comes to the manners
This is something you don’t get on the manners
My applauds on this scene
My applauds to this sermon
They clap for their demons
But I know how it feels
But I know how feels
For you to give underminers
These Niggers wanna act wise but to be real they not
I feel my deep somebody
Is so sooner
Running out
But I’ll let GOD do it
When I grow ole and I go
Till then you miss me
But I’m something which you don’t get everyday
Till then you’ll miss me
Till then you’ll miss me
Till then you’ll miss me
But I’m something you don’t get everyday
Till then you’ll miss me
Till then you’ll miss me
Till then you’ll miss me

[Hook]

I trust hope
That you wish it for me
Like I wish it for you
All the wins that you do

I trust hope
That you wish it for me
Like I wish it for you
All the good that I could

I trust hope
That you wishing for me
What I’m wish it for you
What you wishing for me

I trust hope
That you wishing for me
What I’m wish it for you
What you wishing for me

[Outro]

Why’s that
Because as long as good exist, evil must too. And for you to live in a world where both exist. You must know not everybody will wish you well. It’s a fact

Wish 4 Me

This tune was released by Rod Stewart in 1975. Performed by me on my Yamaha PSR-SX900 arranger keyboard.

Can you "Name That Tune"? I have a website that contains my complete collection of tunes with their titles revealed at: www.harveytwyman.com

Name That Tune #585 by Rod Stewart

You Or Who?

reflects on the futility of effort in relationships or endeavors when outcomes are out of one’s control. It conveys frustration, regret, and the realization that despite trying, some things cannot be fixed or recovered.

Ashes in My Hands

Cynical Publius on X wrote a thread about the differences between generations from my generations view. It struck me when I read it that a phrase from the thread was a song lyric. So I finally figured it out and this is it.

Sides

“Name This Hunger” is a quiet, human anthem about learning meaning through kindness. A warm baritone tells the story with fingerpicked acoustic guitar, pump-organ undertones, brushed snare, and bowed metal swells. The imagery is tactile—bowl, spoon, bridge, river—grounding a chorus built to be sung together. For night drives, small rooms, and anyone who needs a gentle word that still carries weight.

Name This Hunger

I write songs.  I'm not a performer any more than I need to be to have my songs heard once in a while. I hope that better musicians than I encounter my songs and decide to play them.  I just write songs to have them exist in the world. If the world likes them then the world can do with them what it will.  All these recordings are demos.  I've tried to make them as musically interesting as I can but they are all awaiting the skilled hand of someone who knows how to make songs shine.
