about

This is a song saluting songwriters of the golden era of Rock-n-Roll, all the way up until now, who have realized that the I-vi-IV-V chord progression is the greatest ever to write a beautiful melody on.

lyrics

I’m up late at night, and I’m trying to write,
while in my ear I hear a Beach Boys’ song
Then you look that way at me as you say to me,
“Please, baby, don’t be up too long.”

And when I look into your eyes
A realization comes to light
That the sweetest melodies seem to be in a One 6 Four 5

By my own confession that chord progression,
can really be an obsession of mine
And until the day I stray away,
I guess that they will be just fine

From Buddy Holly to Maroon Five
Four little chords make our music thrive
And the sweetest melodies seem to be in a One 6 Four 5

There will be a day not too far away
when we will all sit and reminisce
We’ll take our minds to a simpler time
when all of this seemed to make some sense

You’d agree with me if Rock-n-Roll
Lives and breathes with you in your soul
That the sweetest melodies seem to be in a One 6 Four 5
