This is a whimsical love song to my broken synthesizer - painfully autobiographical and painfully self-explanatory. I hope you enjoy.  

The synthesizer in question was a birthday present and I snapped its wire on the second day of use, leaving half dangling from the input jack and the other half hanging limp from the socket at the wall. It made me sad, and so I wrote a song about it. On a lighter note though, the synth is now fixed, and it is just as cryptic to operate as the day I first powered it on. So there you go, a happy ending to this 4 and a half minute melodrama about breaking an inanimate object. Some may call it pathetic...they would be right, but I like it all the same. Sometimes it's fun the let out the screaming little boy that dropped his ice cream. 

 Feel free to apply whatever deeper meaning you like to it, whether that be an academic headscratcher on the state of consumerism within music industry, or some troubling extended metaphor for a broken down relationship. After all, one's eyes see the widest when squinted. 

Sparkling endorsement complete, give it a listen and let us know what you think. Thank you for your time.

Yours Sincerely,

Cable Car Disaster - P W Murphy
