A Theory Of Everything

A reworking of Art Won't Save You Now from The Dead Scene Poems featuring philosophical ponderings on the nature of art and creation in the breakdown.

Art Wont Save You (BUS/PASSENGERS Version)

He came to me
in a fever dream.
Knee deep
in a blood red stream,

calling forth the flash flood
to be the baptism
that’ll free us finally
from our prison.

We will be the shadow.
We will be the shadow.

He said he saw it all
in the purest vision.
A British Boxer Rebellion, 
a modern Vietnam.

The right consultant 
and a painted face
will win you the arms race.
We will be exceptional, holy and rational.

So I took it upon myself - I formed 
this little gang - and by the spring 
we’d taken Hull, Barnsley 
and Rotherham.


The irony of an impotent rage
starting fires in another man’s name
became a Chinese finger trap;
a lighthouse painted black.

And what we needed was a plan.
What we wanted was a prophecy.
What we got was an execution.
A beautiful and brutal execution.

And all will be exceptional,
honest and logical.

There’s nothing to see and no-one to see it.
There’s nothing to see and no-one left to see it.

(Time is the school in which we learn, time is the fire in which we burn)

ODAS is the music based project of Dean Freeman and is focused on individual project / concept based work either self created or through commission. This involves a collaboratively based approach to the creation of music in response to a project theme or idea. There is also a strong push for a multimedia approach to project outcomes, working with writers, poets, visual artists, game designers and Theatre practitioners.

RECENT HISTORY

In 2020 ODAS was awarded funding through the much sought after Help Musicians #DoItDifferently fund to develop visual aspects of our Dead Scene Poems project, which will be released over the course of 2021. It is a multimedia, cross platform conceptual project that will culminate in a double vinyl release.
