Thank you, Music Theory, for helping me notate The Thank You Notes Writing Music from The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. I guess those four years of college are really beginning to pay off.

Thank You Notes Writing Music

Robert Hammon's "The Elephant"

The Elephant is a story from the perspective of a madman just moments before a tragedy, as he takes a moment to ask one simple question. Did you see the elephant in the room, or are you blind? 

I wrote this song as a challenge to myself to write and produce a song in a month. On January 1st, this song was not written, but I put up a post on social media saying that I would release it in a months time. My deadline approach paid off, and here's my first ever single.

Written, Produced, Recorded, Mixed, and Mastered by: Robert Hammon

Personnel:
Keyboards and Vocals: Robert Hammon
Drums: Cameron Alidor
Guitars and Bass: Steven Reed Gilmore

Lyrics:
Time ticks by, 
as the sun illuminates the hills and I, 
sit in spite, waiting watching. 
In my mind, 
it's the only thing that breaks these ties that bind, 
me completely, say your sorry, eyes are starry 

Don't you see, it's the elephant in the room. 
Is everybody blind? 
They don't mind, it'll all be over soon. 
Is everybody fine? They don't mind 

I step out, 
all the passersby begin to scream and shout. 
Call for safety, he seems angry. 
What's this for? 
Is it just a dream or act of civil war? 
As it stated, I was hated, now elated. 

Don't you see, it's the elephant in the room. 
Is everybody blind? 
They don't mind, it'll all be over soon. 
Is everybody fine? They don't mind 

Don't you see, I'm the elephant in the room. 
And everyone is blind 
I don't mind, I'll be sure to end it soon. 
Is everybody fine? They don't mind. 

Don't you see? That I'm not fine
