David Warmke - 82407 To 83156 To 82782 Cifras

[Verse 1]
 E
What is your base reference point
    E
Physics is mine, if you are Bob Denver, Dobie  Gillis or Joe Tidwell who knows
    E
Yours might be music, art, or just work
    E
How do we hear, communicate, understand
 
 
[Verse 2]
 E
We take things to the simplest level, visualize
    E
Analyze and come up with our view
    E
What’s your view, how do you perceive a tune
    E
Do you think cords, notes or simple vibrations
 
 
[Verse 3]
         E        E           E
So what is 82.407 to 80.909 to 82.782
    E
The title of this poem of course
    E
E, the sixth string on our guitar
    E
E2 on 440 scale, on 432 scale
    E
And on 442 scale, 432 E2 sounds best to me
 
 
[Verse 4]
         E          E     E
So what is 82.407 to 80.909 to 82.781
    E
It is vibrations per second, a compression sound wave
    E
Measured in Hertz, 60 our electric hum
    E
It is E2 the base string on our guitar
    E
A rolling sound wave 15 feet long
 
 
[Verse 5]
    E
Pick a start point 440,432 442 HZ call It A
    E
Each step just 1.0594631 more or less apart
    E
Take 12 steps multiply together 12 times you get 2
    E
That is one octave 12 semitones
 
 
[Verse 6]
    E
Take a wave and fit two exactly into one
    E
You go from Note back to Note
    E
15 to 7.5 feet, wave length, that’s is all it is
    E
Together they do not beat, different somehow they seem the same
 
 
[Verse 7]
    E
Let’s go deeper, the human hear
    E
It measures pressure differences of the air
    E
Stand on a sheet of paper now taller at a lower pressure
    E
This the ear can measure this, very small pressure differences
 
 
[Verse 8]
   E
The ear drum, 3 bones, the inner ear
    E
The spiral Cochlear, 3,500 IHC and 12,000 OHC hairs
    E
Looks like tiny pipe organs in a spiral
    E
Sounds turned electric sent to the Cochlear nerve
 
 
[Verse 9]
    E
Sound amplified by 3 lever bones
    E
Sound now in the cochlear fluid
    E
Those tiny HC hairs resonate the sound
    E
An electrical signal sent to the brain and analyzed, we hear
 
 
 [Verse 10]
   E
So why do we hear a octave above the same
    E
The seashell-like spiral shape of the Cochlear that’s the key
    E
Fibonacci sequence, 3 numbers add the biggest two, the cochlear hairs in array
    E
Musics Law of Octaves in every Conch shell
 
 
[Verse 11]
    E
We can hear 10 octaves in all 16 to 22,000 hz
    E
Those repeat points are called notes
    E
Just 7 work the best, five in between
    E
Those sharps and flats add more
 
 
 [Verse 12]
   E
Why do we make music
    E
How do we place notes together that work
    E
How do we make music that pleases the soul
    E
Experiment, that’s where our 12 note scale came from
 
 
 [Verse 13]
   E
Build on what others have done
    E
Music expresses more than sound, emotions so powerful
    E
Our hearts resonate to music, that’s just the way it is
    E
At the deepest level, all is simply a string
 
 
  [Verse 14]
  E
String Theory, the theory of all things
    E
The smallest particle a vibrating energy string
    E
Smaller than an atom, smaller an electron, smaller than a photon, or quark,
    E
We cannot see them; Physics is sure they are real
 
 
 [Verse 15]
   E
Vibrations at all levels of everything
    E
So many harmonics we can only guess
    E
Resonance so powerful, the Tacoma Washington Bridge fell
    E
Music communicates, resonates refreshes our souls
 
 
[Verse 16]
    E
The ear so simple, just lucky happenstance
    E
It came from a fish gill, a reproductive mistake
    E
I hope you are laughing
    E
If not I have this bridge in New York, I would like to sell
 
 
 [Outro]
   E
Why
    E
Jesus knows, we try to hear, to understand
    E
As we learn to communicate with His handiwork
    E
our designed, created, and loved soul.
    E
82.407 to 80.909 to 82.781
    E
80.909 resonates best with my soul
