about

"The man with all the notes played a monochord in a small French village.
A friend in music introduced us and though we didn't speak a mutual language I knew what he meant.
Years later this song came about and I and a new friend in music would create it together."
- Kevin of Missalettes

Produced by Missalettes at Whitewell Studios Cork.
Mixed at Inner Chapter Studio, Co. Kerry.
Mastered by Fergal Davis.

lyrics

On our knees in the rain
Draining the tank we put the wrong fuel in

What a start to the holiday
You never knew how we would use this story again
And what I meant was

Go home, go home
To the man with no chords but all the notes

No water that we could see
The eyes in the back of our head not functioning

It’s such a simple mistake
Never looking back is not as virtuous as they claim
And what I say is

Go home, go home
To the man with no chords but all the notes
Go home, go home

With no words he’ll tell you everything you didn’t even know
You need to know

Go home, go home
To the man with no chords but all the notes
