about

Aaron Rowan of Earthwire Productions based in Modesto, California found my music online somehow. He booked me to play a show at an Arts Conservatory and thought it would be fitting that I wrote a song about the game "Clue." I remembered the characters, the mysteries, the story that can come out of playing that game. Here is the story I came up with! Thanks for the songwriting challenge, Aaron!

lyrics

he woke at quarter to two
not quite what he wanted to do
but when a ghost still lurks in the room
the mind searches for another clue

there was a woman he knew
wore scarlet red velvet and expensive perfume
she caught his eye from across the hall
and he knew that his life was no longer his own

he showed her his many rooms
books to the ceiling and cases of jewels
in the garden they sat for a drink
glasses clink and their secrets were few

the onlookers knew
their secrets were few

that's what brings us to that night
that night alone in his room
all the ghosts were there
on that fateful night
when the butler was found dead
and all his diamonds gone
and the lady in red
was never to be seen again

was it a rope, a knife or a gun?
heart and diamonds gone
