The cycle of chords repeats every 3 verses. (Basically each end that says "sing in c" is the - - one!) Here is a video of my version to prove that it works! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1igWy1h530Y&list=UUYCJX-DPcFVQaLOLS9e21bg Here’s another song in C. When I play piano it’s my key. If I was playing my guitar I’d probably be in G the chances are. Here is another song in C. With my favorite protagonist - me. Of my little world I’ll tell & show. I’ll sing about it so you’ll know. When people in it break my heart Then my little world can fall apart. And there’s not a thing I can do Except to sing in C to you. There used to be a family. Brother sisters father mother and me. We were living in a little home. We were fending off the great unknown. But the great unknown it got inside. And what had been whole it did divide. In the end father had to leave. When he did the mother had to grieve. That’s the time when real troubles start. It’s when a world can fall apart. And there’s not a thing I can do Except to sing in C to you. I grew up and had a family. And it broke apart so easily. All that started thirty years ago. Why it’s never ending I don’t know. I could blame on the great unknown Or as a kid what I was told and shown. But I blame myself and I blame her. The cruel & foolish people that were And the children that we had are grown They’re out fending off their great unknown And I’ve noticed they are a little bit like me With a tendency to sing in C So by now is clear to hear and know. I dont play a lot of piano But sometimes a fellow has to sit Just to sing about the heavy shit And the great unknowns a hurricane With howling winds & floods & driving rain. You might make it through but you dont know If right behind it there’s a tornado. And if families didn’t break apart I suppose they don’t need for art But you and I know they do So I sing in C to you

La chanson évoque le thème de la fragilité des relations et des familles tout en utilisant la métaphore de la musique. L'artiste parle de son expérience personnelle, montrant comment ses liens familiaux se sont déchirés au fil des années, entraînant des douleurs et des réflexions sur ce qu'il aurait pu faire différemment. À travers ses mots, il exprime un sentiment de désespoir face à l'inconnu qui entre dans la vie des gens, mais aussi sa manière de faire face à ces tourments : chanter. Le contexte s'inscrit dans une réalité où l'art sert de catharsis pour dépasser les épreuves. Il souligne que même si la vie peut sembler chaotique et imprévisible, la musique reste un moyen de partager les luttes personnelles et de trouver un sens à la douleur. La répétition de la simplicité de « chanter en do » symbolise un refuge contre les tempêtes émotionnelles.
