Bacteria - John Greska

I'm very interested in history, in fact I used to do this YouTube series called "History for Gen Z" where I would go over
historical topics but like with memes. It didn't last long. I've recently started learning Japanese with a teacher who lives in
Japan and it got me thinking that the only thing I knew about Japanese history was the events of World War 2, even
though a lot happened between then and now. The security treaty crisis, the Nixon Shock, the union protests again
Japanese carmakers. I imagined the generations that passed between the 40s and the 90s, and the changes the world
went through, and I wanted to write a song revolving around those themes.
The original draft of the song was very boring. I was focusing more on the events than the people who went through
them, and that's when the character of the mother and the son became more important. Originally he also had a dad
who was fired because of Toyota, and a letter he writes to his mom at the end, and I (along with various others who
listened and told me) realized that this isn't a history book, it's history between a family, and that led me in the right
direction.

Mama (Maybe)

A mashup of Black Eyed Peas' Boom Boom Pow and The Crew Cuts' Sh-Boom. Idk how or why I thought of this.
