LYRICS
Ping
Try a sonic ping
Sing
Listen if anyone bounces back at you
See if their ping comes into view
Similar to sonar…
Know how far… you can go
Activate energy in life-storage
See the energy
A rainbow of humanity collage
Touch them with your ping
Touch them when you sing
Send a signal to one and all
Spread the ping and sprawl
Singing. Pinging. Life-stored energy light up the world.
Ping singing unfurled
Wail like a whale… whale-like wail
May your ping ring true for you
Light up the world
Sail unfurled
Sail wail
Sing, “ping. ping. ping.”
ABOUT THE SONG
Chords
Cm F
Dubstep
A song about giving out energy by making music… having it touch others and activate their energy… then feeling it return. The humpback whale seems like one of the best examples:
The word “song” is used to describe the pattern of regular and predictable sounds made by some species of whales, notably the humpback whale. This is included with or in comparison with music, and male humpback whales have been described as “inveterate composers” of songs that are “‘strikingly similar’ to human musical traditions”
A humpback whale song can travel for hundreds of miles. Even if I use huge amplifiers, I can’t even seem to break a mile.
