Something that I love

Today is my late wife's birthday.  Her last birthday with us was in 2020.  So, if this track feels a bit more personal than most of the other Interbay tracks...that's because it is.

Sad, with some heartfelt but hard to say truths might not be your idea of birthday wishes, but I'm not sure how else to honor a day that will never be as happy as it had been before.  

I knew that I'd wanted to do a song specifically for today, but when I started the project, I assumed it would be a soft, piano-forward ballad.  The fact that it starts with music box and dark strings sent me on another path altogether.  You get to about 2/3rds of the way through the song, and suddenly you're in a mystery thriller and who knows what might be lurking behind every shadow.  Who can say if you're in danger or if you're just scaring yourself.

It was not my intention to bring everyone down with this track.  However, it certainly was my intention to express myself within the context of the music that I make.  And, as you know, some Interbay tracks end up being a path to more insights and expressions than others.

I think the track itself says anything else I would want to say about it, so let's post a smaller description than normal, today.  (My gift to you, I suppose. ;) )

I would appreciate you giving "Birthday Wishes" a listen.  I know it might be hard to "like" a song that is a bit darker and depressing than you'd typically find here, but if you think it was well done, give it a like for that.  Obviously, you reposting it, sharing it, adding it to a playlist, and/or commenting on it..all that or any of that would be welcome.  

And follow this page for more Interbay, every single day a new track drops.

Well Iv'e waited so long cause I know you are there,
waiting on me too.
It's just a matter of time, till we both walk along the same line.

I can see it now, well I nod you a wink then you flash me a smile.

With a little luck, with a little luck, with a little luck,
I'm gonna find you.
With a little luck, with a little luck, with a little luck,
I'm gonna find you.

Iv'e been searching so long cause I know you are near,
I can feel it in my bones.
Bet you feel it too, we both know what we have to do.

I can see it now, well I nod you a wink then you flash me a smile.

With a little luck, with a little luck, with a little luck,
I'm gonna find you.
With a little luck, with a little luck, with a little luck,
I'm gonna find you.

Corporate Training Day - June 2020

Everybody's spruikin' up the branding
Vision words tumbling down like hail.
Everybody's spruikin' up the branding,
Searching for the Holy Grail
The Holy Grail

That makes me want to slam dunk a poem that doesn't even rhyme!

Hell I'm trapped in here,
Rappin' like a fool.

Positivity, Inclusivity, no Negativity here.
Brilliance, Resilience aiming for Consilience 
No Negativity here.
Ah the Mission Statement makes it very clear.
They don't allow no Negativity here.

"We've got a 5 Year Plan around here.
Always looking forward."

Better just hang out a little longer.

You know there is no space,
Never no place for fear.

Well there is no space, never no place for fear.

Quality, Policy, all become Priority,
Teamwork, Collaboration rules,
It rules the day.
Learning and Development, the need for Flexibility
Personal Improvement is the latest Cool.
Is the latest Cool.

Yo Yo...you, know...like the New Black.

Well everybody's talking up the logos 
Vision words are tumbling down like hail.
Everybody's spruikin' out the branding
Searching for the Holy Grail
That Holy Grail,
The Holy Grail.
Where's the Holy Grail?

Yo...better just hang out a little longer,
retreat back to the comfort of an uncertain World.

Follow the money folks.
Follow the money!

LYRICS:

We got ourselves into a mess
I'm sick and tired of nursing it back
We can keep falling further and further
While the beast sits on his throne

You could kill yourself fighting
I am about the same as you
Not a single soul is leaving me
Without a buck or two

Endless battle dawn to dusk
Stench of death, it stains the air
Sun is falling with the dust
But no one sane enough to care

Everything now is strange
The hungry now reaching for blood
Every living thing has changed
And remnants buried in the mud

Every way to run seems wrong
Every prayer lost to the haze
Time is waxing thin and long
Waiting at the end of days

Rending flesh with tooth and claw
This is how it has to be
No time for our last good bye
Facing its misogyny

We're destroyed by our own hand
There's your brotherhood of man
Crumbling at the edge of time
Crossing over past the line
Crumbling at the edge of time
Crossing over past the line

UPDATE:  This was written a year ago, thinking of all the people who will be distanced during the Holidays.  In many parts of the world, the situation has returned to this again.  Thinking of all of you...
