Six String Orchestra Words and Music by Harry Chapin a funny cute little song...it came to my attention when Scooter (in the muppet show) it in the starwars special... not sure this is 100% correct but it sounds pretty ok to me... ...enjoy The very day I purchased it I christened my guitar As my monophonic symphony six string orchestra In my room I’d practice late and they’d leave me alone                                                             My mother said "You’re nothin’ yet to make the folks write home."                                      I’ play at all the talent nights I’ finish they’ applaud                                                          Some called in muffled laughter I just figured they were awed So I went up for an encore but they screamed they’d had enough or maybe I just need a group to help me do my stuff And so I dream a bass will join me and fill the bottom in And maybe now some lead guitar so it would not sound so thin                                           I need some drums to set the beat and help me keep in time                                                  And way back in the distance some strings would sound so fine And we’d all play together like fine musicians should And it would sound like music and the music would sound good                                            But in real life I’m stuck with that same old formula                                      (individual notes: Me and my monophonic symphony six string orchestra I write love songs for my favorite girl and sing ’em soft and slow But before I get to finish she says she has to go   She’s nice and say "Excuse me I’ve got to find a bar I think I need refreshment ’fore I hear you play guitar." I sent a demo tape I made to the record companies Two came back address unknown one came back C.O.D. Of course I got form letters all sayin’ pleasant things                                                             Like suggesting I should find a trade where I would not have to sing And so I dream a bass will join me and fill the bottom in And maybe now some lead guitar so it would not sound so thin                                           I need some drums to set the beat and help me keep in time                                                  And way back in the distance some strings would sound so fine And we’d all play together like fine musicians should And it would sound like music and the music would sound good                                             But in real life I’m stuck with that same old formula                                      (individual notes: Me and my monophonic symphony six string orchestra I’ve been takin’ guitar lessons but my teacher just took leave It was something about a breakdown or needing a reprieve I know I’ve found my future so I will persevere And hold on to my dream of makin’ music to their ears And so I dream a bass will join me and fill the bottom in And maybe now some lead guitar so it would not sound so thin                                           I need some drums to set the beat and help me keep in time                                                  And way back in the distance some strings would sound so fine And we’d all play together like fine musicians should And it would sound like music and the music would sound good                                            But in real life I’m stuck with that same old formula                                      (individual notes: Me and my monophonic symphony six string orchestra // sweden rock-festival \\

La chanson raconte l'histoire d'un musicien en quête de reconnaissance, qui rêve de former un vrai groupe autour de lui pour enrichir son jeu de guitare. Il se plonge dans la passion de la musique, espérant attirer l'attention et l'admiration des autres, mais il fait face à des réalités décevantes. Malgré sa détermination et ses projets de collaboration, il reste coincé avec son simple accompagnement, jouant souvent pour une audience peu enthousiaste. Le contexte évoqué fait référence à la lutte des artistes pour se faire apprécier dans un monde où la musique est à la fois un plaisir personnel et une quête de validation sociale. Les petites joies et les grandes frustrations de la création artistique sont mises en lumière à travers son expérience personnelle, évoquant ainsi un parcours semé d'embûches et de doux rêves.
