We would be fools not to learn from our mistakes

Lyrics: Learn from our Mistakes (Popper 1902-94)
 
Baby I can see clearly now
I must have got it wrong somehow
I realise I wasn’t thinking straight
And my theory doesn't hold any weight. 
I thought I was right 
but something came to light
 that proves my idea wasn’t water-tight.
and I know my reality must move along
 but I must soon be that headstrong

 we must learn from our mistakes 
and see that we've learnt something new
 everything that is being disproved 
adds to the knowledge that we accrue 

come on now you must realise 
we just can’t guess that would be unwise 
theories have got to be tested 
and  we can let our ideas go unmolested
 if you have an idea that can’t be disproved
 if it can’t then I be frankly unmoved
You just can't go call anything a science
 if you do will call you out in defiance


we must learn from our mistakes
 and see that we've learned something new 
everything that has been disproved 
adds to the knowledge that we accrue 

sometimes somethings appear that changed the way we think
 when these occur, we mustn't step away from the brink If you find something doesn't fit 
it doesn't mean that you go ahead and quit
 just means a knowledge doesn't knit 
and we're entering a paradigm shift 
we've got to rethink everything we know
 abandon old knowledge away must go 
design a new framework 
clear away the Murk 
start over again 
old knowledge is now arcane 



we must learn from our mistakes
and see we've learnt something new 
everything that has been disproved 
adds to the knowledge that we accrue
we must learn from our mistakes 
and see we've learnt something new 
everything that has been disproved 
just adds to the knowledge that we accrue.







If you find something doesn't fit 
it doesn't mean that you go ahead and quit
 just means a knowledge doesn't knit 
and we're entering a paradigm shift 
we've got to rethink everything we know
 abandon old knowledge away must go 
design a new framework 
clear away the Murk 
start over again 
old knowledge is now arcane 



we must learn from our mistakes
and see we've learnt something new 
everything that has been disproved 
adds to the knowledge that we accrue
we must learn from our mistakes 
and see we've learnt something new 
everything that has been disproved 
just adds to the knowledge that we accrue.

Learn From Our Mistakes (Popper 1902-94)

A non-singer songwriter! Writing a series of songs (Double Album) about western philosophy and philosophers while trying to keep them rockin'. These song explore western philosophy inspire by Nigel Warburton's Book "A Little History of Philosophy" and I started writing them to aid my poor muddle memory.

Picked up the Electric Guitar during lockdown after 20 years and haven't looked back - why did I put it away!

Looking at recruiting a proper singer and other band members to make live music once again.

Writing music and playing guitars (inc bass) keeping me sane in a mad world!

Main influence is 70s Rock, but into blues, soul, funk and jazz. I also play the spanish guitar classical guitar and dabble with the ukelele!

Drums provided by Roland "The Boss"

All songs recorded mainly in my kitchen on a Boss BR 80 and refined/remixed (badly) on Audacity!
