  • Verse 1
    Today 
    Joseph 
    is 

    sit
    ting 
    alone 

    With occasional 
    nods 
    to the 
    waitress 

    She 
    tops 
    off 
    his 
    cup 
    while 
    she's 

    snapping 
    her 
    gum 

    Making 
    her 
    rounds 
    on 
    the 
    lunch 
    shift 

    Counting 
    out 
    coins, 
    he 
    leaves 
    them 
    arranged 

    In 
    neat 
    lines 
    and 
    circles 
    and 
    arc

    She just 
    stares 
    at 
    the 
    tip 

    that spells 
    out 
    her 
    name 

    And 
    ideas 
    are 
    like 
    stars 

    Verse 2

    And 
    yes
    terday 
    ped
    aling 

    down 
    4th 
    Av
    enue 

    Between 
    the stalls 
    and the 

    bookshops 

    The sepia 
    tones 
    of 
    lost 

    afternoon 

    Cradled 
    curio 
    storefront 

    And 
    inside 
    the 
    air 
    was 
    thick 
    with 
    the 
    past 

    As 
    the dust 
    settled 
    onto 
    his 
    heart 

    And here 
    for 
    a mo
    ment 
    is every 

    place 
    in the 
    world 

    And 
    ideas 
    are 
    like 
    stars 

    They 
    fall 
    Verse 3
    from 
    the sky, 

    they 
    run 
    round 
    your 
    head 

    They 
    litter 
    your 
    sleep 
    as 

    they 
    beckon 

    They'd 
    teach 
    you 
    to fly 

    without 
    wires 
    or 
    thread 

    They 
    promise 
    if 
    only 
    you'd 
    let 
    them 

    Verse 4
    For 
    the language 
    of 
    longing 

    never 
    had 
    word

    So 
    how 
    did you 
    speak 
    from 
    your 
    heart? 

    Yet here 
    is 
    a box 
    that swears 

    it has 
    heard 

    That 
    ideas 
    are 
    like 
    stars 

    Interlude 1





    To
    night 
    Joseph 
    Verse 5
    stood 
    out 
    in the 
    yard 

    As 
    De
    bussy 
    played 
    from 
    the kitchen 

    Celestial 
    com
    panions 
    till 

    mornings 
    first 
    lark 

    Shone 
    over
    head 
    and 
    he 
    listened 

    And 
    who 
    was 
    that 
    shadow 

    there 
    by 
    the gate? 

    Who 
    was 
    that 
    there 
    stand

    ing 
    guard? 

    It was 
    only 
    loneliness 
    and 

    loneli
    ness 
    waits 

    And 
    ideas 
    are 
    like 
    stars 

    Ideas 
    are 
    like 
    stars

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
