Etcetera
Lyrics and Music by Daniel Mandel
​
You sent a message to me
Suggesting the theater at three
walk in the park just to see
Or an exhibit at a museum
Or etcetera
Dot dot dot
I especially like your etcetera
I especially like your etcetera
You’d like to take in a show
You sometimes take me in tow
pleasure you rarely forgo
And etcetera
With an ellipse
I especially like your etcetera
I especially like your etcetera
The way that you please with your parentheses
firm emphasis following your ellipse
A question mark that shows up in the dark
But I especially like your etcetera!

I was attending a "Discipline of Freedom" workshop in France and my creative channels were wide open. One night I couldn't sleep and checked my emails and I was delighted to receive an invitation to several cultural events. The email closed with a deliciously ambiguous... "etcetera" and the song came to life! To find our more about the Discipline of Freedom workshop, send us an email!
