旅に連れていけ
然もないと俺は腐っていく
まあ部屋に籠もる生活も悪くはない

強引に連れていって
可も無いよ不可も無い自由
又部屋に点すライトも誰も見ない

追い付けるかな
辿り着けるかな
yに代入

見付けるから
守り続けるから
御前は悪友と言うかも
一斉に描いた

ねえ行こう
旅へ出よう
思わず君は僕に会うとさブルー？

ねえ行こう
旅へ出よう
必ず君は遠くに
生憎

愛するわって言った
彼奴は何処に行った
明るい現実をもっと僕に呉れ

状態異常
木天蓼飲んで好きな事為る
他無い猫用の字
猫と歩くオール・ナイト

酔った表情に語る
ビートに乗ってスキップを為る
知らない街の朝
一人で歩いていく

只焼ける肌
輝けるかが
無いよ眼中に

若気る未だ
陽に焼けるなら
ノー・サンク・ユーと言うだろう
何回でも

又ね来よう
又旅を為よう
此の儘で居たいとも思ってみる

だから又ね来よう
又旅を為よう
留まっていたっても終わりは来る

愛を忘れていった
彼奴は慌て行った
未だ見ぬ現実をもっと僕に呉れ

またたび (LAUGH mix)

"...good God, boy!  There's a poet in you after all!"

I've been doing a lot of synthesizer-focused electronic dance music--both modern and retro styles, or as is typical for Interbay, a melange of both.  I wanted to do a more traditional guitar-centric rock song.  

And I don't think I've made a better one.

Sure, I've made guitar-centric post-punk songs that are definitely in my wheelhouse.  But, the kind of "rock" that Tom Petty might have done?  That R.E.M.  or Let's Active might have done?  That The Beatles might have done (well, the Revolver or earlier Beatles)?  I don't think I've managed anything like that...until now.  

For a change, I managed to keep this simple.  I actually took out things that I thought cluttered the mix instead of trying to paint in all of the white spaces (horror vacui!!!!  Hey Crash!  Here's a reference only you and I will get!!!).  

Fearing, as I always do, for Icarus' safety, I had put a bunch of effects on the dialogue snippets to hide them from the sentinels searching for Zion...but upon listening to it one last time before uploading it here, I realized that those effects made the whole track unlistenable.  So, I took the levels of effects down and found different ways to break up the sentinel enticing morsels.  

Now, I am not a natural guitarist (I have the fingertips of someone who types a lot.)  I've played bass (badly) but just as my brain on drums can't handle more than three limbs at a time, my brain on guitars would be happier with two strings less rather than two strings more.  

So, though I got a good bell like sound--a very Rickenbacker-y sound--I'm not as confident in what has been recorded.  (Is this my first ever attempt at a guitar solo?  Its...well, it fills the empty space I left for it, so I'll call that a win.)  

I may revisit this, write some proper words for it and sing on it...someday.  But for now, it is serendipitous that this song with an example of taking the risk to share your creative efforts with others, even if they may not be very good or make sense, is married to music that is my creative effort (no non-vocal samples on this), even though it may not be very good, and may not make any sense.  

A barbaric yawp from a sweaty toothed madman, indeed.  

(Meanwhile, both my kid and I remain sick...whether that will impact future Interbay tracks?  How could it not?)  

As always, please listen to "Yawp" and give it a like.  Consider reposting it, sharing it, adding it to a playlist, leaving a comment on it...and I would love it if you'd follow this page.  There is brand new Interbay here EVERY SINGLE DAY (so far...) so you'll never be bored.  

And remember, we're not laughing at you.  We're laughing near you.
