MISS INDEPENDENT

This song celebrates the beauty of humanity.

This is the original recording I made in 1927. A new recording of the song here: https://soundcloud.com/jonny-figment-530184385/death-howl-a-song-about-humans, and a dub version here: https://soundcloud.com/jonny-figment-530184385/ive-decided-to-live-forever-death-howl-dub

-----------------------------

Everybody’s got to find their way
Find their way across The Great Divide
And they gotta do it by theirselves
No, there won’t be anybody walking by their side

I am nervous ‘cos I don’t believe
No one there for me to cling to
No comfort when the time comes
No hand around my shoulder 
No promised land

So you go to the cave on the mountainside
Sit in a circle with your family 'round
As you patiently wait for the spirit to pass
You look up and notice the stars

Your breathing gets slower as time runs down
In the forest, the creatures are still
There is no map for where you’re bound
But the path is well-worn

I was begging for the end
Push that rock up the mountain again
Don’t wrench my soul away
I mourn for the world, it’s such a horrible place

They gather ‘round the fallen man
Hold hands and sing a prayer
Hearing the sound, the medic looks out
And he thinks to himself, "What a wonderful world"

The family lays their bodies on down
Shaking uncontrollably
There is nothing you can say or do
In the scenes that follow the death howl

Well, just a few short moments ago
He was this tough little kid
Now he looks at you
With tears in his eyes
Saying “Please hold my hand
And tell me there, there”

Written in 2001 as a UK Garage track for a talented young man called Paul, 'Spend this Moment' has been re-recorded and given a rock/soul treatment in keeping with my current personal taste.
