Basically this is the audio to the video I just uploaded because I’m too lazy to do another recording. Well not too lazy exactly. Can I just rant for one minute?
Imagine you are a straight male musician & you love writing songs. But every time you write a song you are required to get fucked up the ass, beat up by three muscle men & left on the side of the highway to walk home.
That is how I feel because every time I write a song- which I like- I then have to record it which I hate. I hate wires and machines and weird pieces of black plastic. I hate computer interfaces filled with random squiggles. I have no idea what anything means. And just the mechanical nature of sound itself. Why is this staticy? Why do I sound a million miles away? I don’t know!! It all feels….. beyond what humans are meant to know. It makes me want to cry.
But now I must stop complaining. And remember the words of my friends.
Thorney: Inch by inch, it becomes a cinch.
Moxy: To every problem, there is a practical solution.
Dad/Nietzche: That which does not kill you makes you stronger.
Dad/Schwarzennegger: No pain no gain.
Dad: Bend over and grab your ankles.
Cold tea, dance with me
Give me something more to eat
Hold my head & help me find the sun.
Red fire, warm & bright
Stay with me for one more night
Tomorrow we go pay for what we’ve done.
You are my red eye by & by
You are my fire come from the sky
Now take my head & tell me what I need to know this time.
Like a slave
I was placed on earth to follow.
Like a dog, put down when I’m wrong.
But I won’t break at a jagged fate to swallow
You just play; I sing along.
Words spin round and round
Only sky where was the ground?
Leave my house you dirty cunt I’m done.
Fist eye, hot head fly
Falling down the stairs was I
Hold my head & tell me I was fun.
You are my best friend by & by
You are my fire come from the sky
Now take my head and tell me what I need to know this time.
Like a slave
I was placed on earth to follow.
Like a dog, put down when I’m wrong.
But I won’t break at a jagged fate to swallow
You just play; I sing along.
Come to me love like a bone
The only love I’ve ever known
A spark of light then miles and miles of dark.
Burning hands and sparkly eyes
And miles and miles away the skies
To settle down around around us in the park.
Like a slave
I was placed on earth to follow.
Like a dog, put down when I’m wrong.
But I won’t break at a jagged fate to swallow
You just play; I sing along.
