"The Hook"

[prenticeparton]

Just another tune that I have written. As always, love your feedback.

Where’s the hook, where’s the hook
Leave it on the surface, we need our hook
Where’s the hook, where’s the hook
Fed and full of purpose, we’re hungry for the hook.

What are you trying to say here
It has to be repeated
We’ve experienced the buildup
The premise is needed

Our eager minds only hold on to catchy phrases
Forget the rodents we are lost in the mazes
Of this hookless tune

Where’s the hook, where’s the hook
Leave it on the surface, we need our hook
Where’s the hook, where’s the hook
Fed and full of purpose, we’re hungry for the hook.

We are sinking ever deeper
Grasping for our life vests
We’re the fish without the coral
The birds without nests

Our eager ears are open and ready,
Leave meandering to the birds, we’re steady
On path for the ever delivering hook

Where’s the hook, where’s the hook
Leave it on the surface, we need our hook
Where’s the hook, where’s the hook
Fed and full of purpose, we’re hungry for the hook.

Where’s the hook, where’s the hook
Leave it on the surface, we need our hook
Where’s the hook, where’s the hook
Fed and full of purpose, we’re hungry for the hook.

There has to be more than this now

Where’s the hook, where’s the hook
Leave it on the surface, we need our hook
Where’s the hook, where’s the hook
Fed and full of purpose, we’re hungry for the hook.

I like it, the chorus is really catchy, I am even singing it to myself after reading it, although of course I have no musical talent and am (rudely) told my children I can't sing!

For some reason quotes wont work properly so I've done it the old fashioned away, But I love this verse in particular, the comparisons are brilliant!

"We are sinking ever deeper
Grasping for our life vests
We’re the fish without the coral
The birds without nests"

Yep - I really like it!

Thank you very much for your feedback. I wrote this when stressing out over finding a hook for another song that I was writing. Naturally, I wrote an entire song that is about finding the hook. I enjoy the irony in it.

Thanks, again, for the feedback!

I agree with Redlorry here, the chorus is quite "grappling" so to speak. it works its repetitive nature in your mind and you just can't help but repeat it. the song plays so well on the psyche of the mind I like it alot
