== Tuning ==
The piece uses:
* the 8-16 harmonic series segment ([[9/8]], [[5/4]], [[11/8]], [[3/2]], [[13/8]], [[7/4]], [[15/8]], [[2/1]]);
* and the 10-5 subharmonic series segment ([[10/9]], [[5/4]], [[10/7]], [[5/3]], [[2/1]]).

== Lyrics ==
<blockquote>
Twelve tones, the same old twelve tones, the same old twelve tones, the same old twelve twelve twelve twelve

The twelve tones may be non-universal and even arbitrary (yeah, xenharmonic music)

Could anyone ever escape the yearning for the deep structures implied by division of the octave space into something other than the same old twelve tones

Let’s say thirteen equidistant intervals, or thirteen, or 313, but not twelve!
</blockquote>

== Re-Tuned version ==
Sevish released a version of this track retuned in [[12edo]] on [[YouTube]] in 2021, and later the same year on his album [[Re-Tuned]].

The lyrics were slightly modified in this version (changes in italics):
<blockquote>
Twelve tones, the same old twelve tones, the same old twelve tones, the same old twelve twelve twelve twelve

The twelve tones may be ''universal'' and even arbitrary (yeah, ''twelve tone'' music)

Could anyone ever escape the yearning for the deep structures implied by ''these notes'', the same old twelve tones, ''twelve!''

Let’s say ''twelve'' equidistant intervals, or ''twelve'', or ''twelve'', but not ''313''!
