For the Sense of No Sense at All

--from the 2020 Walter Ehresman album "Global Search Party." https://walterehresman.bandcamp.com/album/global-search-party Another song featuring nylon-string Spanish guitar, this melancholy acoustic ballad has a late night Mexican feel to it. Sparse and haunting. Ehresman recalls: "One night last year, I dreamed the lyrics and music to the chorus of this song, and when I woke up I finished writing it and started recording.......My friend Rolando tells me is has a bolero feel.......It's a song about trying to scrape together a romantic connection amidst the losing global battle against the robber barons." For the Sense of No Sense at All (© 2019 Walter Ehresman) The message said we were overrun; Falling back on all sides; The Barons’ men have us out-gunned; Leaflets fall from the sky. Communications are compromised— official lies on TV; All reserves have been mobilized— but will they answer our plea? We know we cannot surrender; We know some lines should not fall; But hold me tight, and we’ll dance through the night for the sense of no sense at all. A soldier cries that it’s no use, as they wheel him away; Another says they’ll be no truce, ‘cause money must get its way. But still we fight every morning; And we fight through the day; But deep in the night lies the warning of human nature’s true face.
