Lyrics:
I love my fiancé, but we barely make out
we just watch re-runs and eat Chinese takeout
we hate our bosses, we hate our parents
we feel destined for decades of unhappy marriage

see I have anxiety, he has depression
but it goes untreated cuz we’re both obsessed with
Jim, Pam, and Dwight, 'cos every night
we muffle our problems with laughter, good banter, and wine

we watch on our iPad, we watch on the telly and
we know a couple who acts just like Ryan and Kelly

we watch The Office, it brings us comfort
it’s like a visual version of Mumford

there’s Stanley in Sales, Oscar from billing
They make me forget how my life’s unfulfilling
I’m jealous of them, they all seem like friends 
meanwhile I work with like 26 men, all from the Big Ten...

you can call it addiction, but one of these days we just might watch the British edition…

but this one’s reliable, this one’s 'old faithful'
the theme song comes on and I’m suddenly stable
I’ll binge watch a season, increase the dosage
two to three episodes is my melatonin

re-watch The Office, re-watch The Office,
re-heat my Chipotle and re-watch The Office

get out of bed and commute to the office then
get back in bed and just re-watch The Office...

Re-Watch The Office

time-stamped link to Use This Gospel:

These are the hasty recordings I made the night after attending Kanye West's Jesus is King listening party in Chicago on 9/28/19. I attached these as .mp4 files to my Google Doc where I recapped the night, here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bK_EthuMownFHukcJoAS66xDCaGoC0q8Itct2u14jLQ/edit?usp=sharing

UPDATE: This Google Doc is now an article on my Substack: https://davidzucker.substack.com/p/jesus-is-king-listening-party-recap

Since the files kept getting taken down by Google because there were reportedly too many downloads on them (largely thanks to the Google Doc getting a bit of buzz on the r/Kanye and r/HipHopHeads subreddits), I wanted to put them somewhere a bit more permanent.

I ended up being pretty accurate in terms of re-creating the songs that were publicly released a month later. The "soccer stadium song" became Use This Gospel, and the part I play here is fairly close to the 0:57-1:08 section of the actual song, just a bit flat. My version of "Water" is in the correct key of A major, and best mimics the 0:23-0:36 section of the released version.

I hope that by putting these out, it gives me a bit more credibility when talking about music theory, pitch, and composition on my mailing list, which you can subscribe to at:

Soccer Stadium Song (eventually became 0:57-1:08 of Use This Gospel)

For comparison, here is a version of "Up From the Ashes" that was eventually released in 2021:

Up From The Ashes (scrapped before the official release)

Time-stamped link to "Water" from Jesus Is King. They changed the tempo between the listening party and the release, but you can still hear the similarity:

Lyrics:
Ayo I'm sorry for the spam
I just know that your receptionist arrives at 9 AM /
and I acknowledge and apologize for all of my persistence
I just want to try and quantify your dis-connected systems

And by now, you're probably like,
"Who the heck is this? Just another telemarketer with a hit list?"
Actually, I'm not, and this is all unscripted -
I did some research on you and I’d like to grow with your business

This is David from Oracle NetSuite, I saw you spoke with Gil Rivera
You mentioned to him that you're havin’ demand fulfillment errors?  

I’d love to help you out with that and better understand
A little bit more about your software lay of the land 

See I know I’ve got the number for your business, but do you?
'Cos how do you run your business if your numbers aren’t true?
And forgive me for asking, it’s a little insistent
But uhh ….   tell me more about your current equipment 

Like are you on QuickBooks, are you on SAP,
or is it manual entry and spreadsheets 

'Cos if it ain't NetSuite or if ain't Oracle
Well then no wonder your process is horrible!
Oh you're on Sage? that's adorable
We do it better and now it’s affordable /
I know it's morning and this stuff is boring but
if you’re not snoring you’ll see it’s important

'Cos over here, we got what's called a purpose-built dash
that updates in real-time /
givin' you some flexibility to kill time  
so you can kick it and crack some jokes around the water cooler
not only saving time, you’ll save a lot of moo-lah

We’re meant for innovators, idea generators,
the type of people who turn lemons into lemonaders
performance indicators uncover optimization
you’re probly thinking, "That sounds great, but it’d be a lot to replace this!"

Well -  i think that you’ll be impressed
we got a methodology for that called Suite Success

https://www.netsuite.com/portal/products/suitesuccess/starter-edition.shtml

and your company'll be up in runnin’ in 90 days or less

They say that practices makes perfect - here’s the industry's best!
