Toronto-based singer songwriter Irvin Kovar, solo artist behind over 198 compositions on SoundCloud under LFTR (formerly An Angel Bought Long Island), shares with us a musical interpretation of the dangers of unhinged populist personalities. He gives credit to his life-long friend, Peter Chang who inspired him, verbatim with the chorus line, taken from one of their many discussions on politics and America.

1st Verse
You find me empty
I’ve got not empathy
All I need is envy
So please envy me
It’s helpful lying 
Just bend the truth
Can’t you see the chaos
Trust me, I know what to do
I will get you to chant my name

Chorus
What’s Good For Me Is Good For Everybody
What’s Good For Me Is Good For Everybody
Its only me, there is nobody
But me…but me…

2nd Verse
I’m grandiose
Love exaggeration
Preoccupied with success …and adulation
I ‘m special, and I’ve got power
Look in my mirror 
I’ll save your heaven from these cowards

Chorus
What’s Good For Me Is Good For Everybody
What’s Good For Me Is Good For Everybody
Its only me, there is nobody
But me…but me…

Chorus
What’s Good For Me Is Good For Everybody
What’s Good For Me Is Good For Everybody
Its only me, there is nobody
But me…but me…

It’s the Last Mile (To Sunrise)
Toronto-based singer songwriter Irvin Kovar, solo artist behind over 198 compositions on SoundCloud under LFTR88 (formerly An Angel Bought Long Island), shares with us a hypnotic, art rock tale. An unfiltered out-pouring of post-modern yearning and desperation, is a reflection on the precipice of transition, acquiensence, desperation or all three? Bathed in subtle instrumental textures, alternating between rising and falling guitars and horns, the lyrics ride like waves under a steady and pulsing 70’s beat, supporting and mvoing with the peformance throughout. Some kind of confession, prophecy and simultaneous acceptance is going on here, this half sung, half spoken tapestry, an epic delivery of stream of consciousness poetry – that undeniably takes the listener to the edge of a meaning that lies, inutterable, yet a sliver beyond our reality.

Chorus
It’s the last mile
It’s the last mile
To Sunrise

The journeys been worth it and all the sacrifice
But its best that we’ll be leaving, this whole thing that we call it
Too long to be in the big house, to little to be lost in the world
If just for an impluse, drifting away, less for the day, promises that tell me, that made me happy
Not very many, but dreams will tell me, if I remember to write them down

Lakes and tornados, huge houses and cities
I had enoyed it so much, but now nothing really is new to me
The earth is choosing, closing its doors forever, and the rain keeps coming
Everything is packaged on the driveway

Oh, this attraction is illusion
Nature has run its game here
We cant stop making babies and lying to each other
I’ve seen it on the edge of that moment
This reality is transferrable
Just with a certain change of mind
I don’t know if I even want to live this anymore
They can’t even eat or find their parents
Being trafficked like fetanyl, by demons with no hearts
We’re done here, go to the next phase

Chorus
It’s the last mile
It’s the last mile
To Sunrise

The journeys been worth it and all the sacrifice
I’ve almost seen it, the edge of the moment
It was more than just meaning, it was…. piercing through that veil of total acceptence
I am outside or top-down or short framed, and Nature is in total control
No way to reverse this stream, to unlearn what we are singing
To unspeak the words with brash chords of regret
I look at a woman…and all I can say is that she is the greatest glory

I hate to say that life is so short, so short it almost doesn’t exist
Those of us with so few gifts
Being battered around and sold for glamorous desires
Emptied and robbed in all things, I begin to see
That I have disappeared, but with purpose
Life in its gaiety, in its hard-handness
Sometimes I just want to die.
Like a hungry corpse buying a grave in front of a tree
Is that a statement or is that where I stand?
What chance did I have, when I look back at the race?
What chance did I have?

We’re done here, go to the next phase
Chorus
It’s the last mile
It’s the last mile
To Sunrise

It’s the last mile
It’s the last mile
To Sunrise

It’s the last mile
It’s the last mile
To Sunrise

It’s the last mile
It’s the last mile
To Sunrise

Google's NotebookLM studies the new book by Brian Solis, Mindshift: Transform Leadership, Drive Innovation, and Reshape the Future.

Brian ran an experiment with the "audio overview" feature of NotebookLM to test its AI ability to summarize the book in the form of a conversational podcast between two hosts.

This is part one, which interpreted the book in 6 parts. Part two, analyzed the book as a whole. Both are uniquely fascinating.
