Why and How
Mark Murphy / Jimmy Deucher
Why oh why is life is life so strange, why oh why?
It could be a true exchange
Why not try?
Love we’re told is bought and sold
Worth its weight in shining gold
I wont agree or buy
Why not please one another?
Heed the creed called the golden rule
People could have another goal
An age each day would blind you with its own special light
War and hatred would banish
Thought not fate would be taught in school
Love would flow all around
Because the human race would know whats wrong and that which is right
How oh how can life be free , how oh how?
In yourself you’ll find the key
Why not now?
Open up your mind and be only who you want to be
And baby do it now!
do it now!
now! right now!
Taken from the (wickwardinous!) album Midnight Mood by Mark Murphy
Listen and buy from CD Universe or find a pusher
This album was recorded on the German label MPS who, long before the likes of Jazzanova were getting props for their JermanJazziness, had released 700 recordings. The catalogue is now in the hands of Universal and sadly there is no label site. You can find the “Most Perfect Sound” rerelease series here jazzecho.de and more info on the catalogue here courtesy of the jazzdiscography.com project. As always a search at dustygroove.com comes up trumps revealing plenty of gems and descriptive reviews
