[Intro]
Where’s Joy?
(You’re all alone)
Kill joy…
(Musta gone home)
[Verse 1]
Have you seen Hope
(She’s been outta scope)
Haven’t seen her days
(Missed in so many ways)
[Chorus]
And where is Joy?
(We’re left all alone)
It’s time we employ
(A love zone prone)
[Bridge]
To happiness
(… but, I digress)
[Verse 2]
Have you seen Faith
(She’s nowhere to be seen)
Was she lost to scathe
(A dream gone obscene)
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
To happiness
(… but, I digress)
There is clarity
(In charity)
[Outro]
So, about the above —
(Love)
Love above
(Everything)
If you were still wondering….
(Love, love, love)
ABOUT THE SONG
The new release of the day, “Musta,” was inspired by three sisters from my childhood — Faith, Hope, and Charity — and by the season of love that seems to stir their names back into memory. The song was created extemporaneously, unfolding in real time, and built around an acoustic rhythm guitar and piano interplay wrapped in layers of strings and other textures.
Like the music itself, the lyrics wander through the emotional landscape of those virtues we lose, search for, and sometimes rediscover. “Musta” asks where Joy, Hope, and Faith have gone, and whether Charity — love in its purest form — might still bring clarity. The piece ultimately circles back to the simplest conclusion: above everything else, love remains the constant.
