So here we are all standing on the brink
a bible in one hand, in the other a drink
into diversion we joyously sink
cause it’ll be all right as long as we don’t think.

Some of us have some clever things to say,
but on reflection they sound bloodless, pale, and gray.
And why introspect when you’d rather play,
and save convictions for some other day?

(c) These pieces never fit, there’s a message we never get
when it comes right down to it.
It seems we don’t know much at all, 
it seems we don’t know much at all
So high to climb, so far to fall.
It seems we don’t know much at all.

Our own worst tendencies conspire in our fall
and throw us up against destinies wall.
And from their graves our ancestors call
"Your world is so advanced it doesn’t work at all".

So keep the blindfold on, someone else will steer.
Despite appearances, there’s nothing to fear.
Life is beautiful, our future’s bright and clear,
just ask the Mayans (oh sorry, they’re not here).

MUSIC FOR THE THINKING FEW.

(UPDATE: 12/9/2025-I am dropping down my activity on here as life is taking me in other directions and the world is ending, basically. I have stopped reposting as there is just too much AI slop to wade through now and I don't want to elevate it or promote it. The songs on here are 2-3 songs per my current 11 albums, which are available on other venues like Bandcamp and Youtube for free listening or purchase.) 

John Ludi is a musician/singer-songwriter/cultural relic with a diverse and "arty" array of influences and lyrical interests who was "Indie" before the term even existed. Working outside of the music industry by choice has given Ludi the ability to release songs of a level of lyrical depth that are anathema to the current culture...

but none of that really matters anymore, frankly.

Garage rock, Space rock,Grunge and punk rock inspired noise.
