about

Guillaume IX wrote a Nothing song in the 12th century. The mystery of the key for the box sent anywhere remains a mystery in this 9-beat version with a refrain from a bumper sticker.

The bassline, from a Bai Konte kora piece, is one of the all-time greats.

lyrics

It started off worse
asleep on my horse
no hook, no catch:
I dreamed it from scratch.

No love, no war:
good nothing for.
No fancy licks:
ditty be nix.

Send this around
to anyone found.
He'll send it again,
but where or when?

And someone sends me
the box with the key
the key will make clear
what we have here.
