ABSTRACT
Text a “There is a season where heart-break’s goin’ ‘round. There is a price you pay when you fool around. It’s not a matter that we can talk about, it’s just that I’m the one you can do without. And in the season when love is everywhere, I’m gonna find out that you just don’t really care. It’s not a matter that you will or you won’t, you got the answer and don’t you say you don’t!” (Daniel McCarthy: “Hurting Season”)
Text b “You got me playin’ funk in a minor mode ever since you left me standing here in the cold. When you left me, I was on my knees. Now I only write in minor keys. I tried to write it happy, in a major key. It took a lot tryin’, it took a major part out of me.” (Daniel McCarthy: “Funk in a Minor Mode”)
