LYRIC

In happier days
I can’t remember when
But happier days
Than those we’re living in
You could enjoy the delusion 
Progress would bless our lives

Now here we are
Bitten by the bytes
And all of this awfulness thrives
 
A man of my years' seen things
He knows what tomorrow brings
Is another today
To piddle away
And though disillusion stings
A man of my years still sings his heart out

My last birthday wish
I asked to be ignored
But granting me this
The world could not afford
It had to be firing off rockets
Singing a children’s song off key
You see
A man of my years is done
Pretending he’s having fun 
If he feels it he laughs
If not he asks
Would it bother anyone 
If a man of my years should run and hide
While a shred of pride remains 

A slice of cake I’ll handle
Please don’t light that candle
My age in the icing
Is that meant to be a nice thing?
You tell me to blow now
But I will not
I have got to go now

I promise you this
I’ll make no promises
You’ll say I just did
But that’s not what this is
I’m merely aware of my standing
I’ve got to get off my feet

There’s kids on the lawn
I could shout at them
Instead I just yawn and repeat

A man of my years sits back
with a cold drink and salty snack
His work is long done
He’s had enough fun
Now he wants to relax
After laughter and tears
All the hurrahs and jeers
I’m a man of my years!

LYRICS:
----------------------------
(townie)
People in this town, they've all seen you hangin' around
They don't like it
They're not buyin' what you're sellin', standing' on your box and yellin'
They don't like it
Their sentiment is strong, and they asked you move along
They don't like it. They really don't like it.

(monty)
People in this town, one by one they sneak around
They seem to like it
They come and they go, they never let the neighbors know
That they like it
They may hide it from the rest, but their coins inside my chest say they like it
Oh, I think they like it. They like it.

(townie)
With your shell games and dice, I ain't tellin' you twice
I don't like it
They're down on their knees while you sell them your disease
I don't like it
With your slug milk and wine, they're just fish on your line
I don't like it I really don't like it.

(monty)
I am just a businessman, I make my living where I can
The way I like it
I am sure you understand, I'm just meeting their demand
And I like it
So there's no need to taunt, I just give them what they want and they like it, 
Oh I think they like it, and I like it

(townie)
They say that you're depraved, that you're sick and can't be saved
We don't like it.
And the medicine you sell isn't making them well
We don't like it.
So just get on down the road, if you'd like, I'll help you load
We don't like it. We really don't like it.

(monty)
My patience wearing thin, I take another one on the chin
Because they like it.
So I guess I'll up and go, take my tack and tents in tow
I don't like it
But your virtue is a clown, so I'll go to the next town
Where they like it. I'll go where they like it.
Where they like it.

🇫🇷 Jesus Beluga, un album d’une heure de musique mêlant musique électronique expérimentale et un rock puissant à la limite du rock progressif. Les sonorités captivantes de la guitare, synthétiseur, de la mandoline, des percussions et même du violon s’entrelacent avec des éléments numériques. Un concept original en mêlant harmonieusement l’organique et le technologique. En plus des nouvelles compositions, il intègre des poèmes générés par Chat GPT, un modèle d’intelligence artificielle, qui sont ensuite récités par un logiciel de synthèse vocale. 

Cette fusion entre la créativité humaine et l’IA crée une atmosphère unique et invite à une réflexion profonde sur les thèmes de la spiritualité, de la technologie et de la relation avec l’IA. L’album explore de manière audacieuse les possibilités et les limites de cette interaction, offrant une expérience sonore et conceptuelle fascinante. 

De cet album, est né un concept de nouvelle religion mélant le sacré et la technologie de l’IA. J’ai aussi écrit un livre de 36 pages avec Chat GPT qui donne les grandes lignes de la religion belugianne.
Chat GPT a aussi inventé une langue originale pour les adeptes du «belugianisme».

🇬🇧 Jesus Beluga, a one-hour album of music blending experimental electronic music with powerful rock on the edge of progressive rock. The captivating sounds of guitar, synthesizer, mandolin, percussion, and even violin intertwine with digital elements. It's an original concept that harmoniously combines the organic and the technological. In addition to the new compositions, it incorporates poems generated by Chat GPT, an artificial intelligence model, which are then recited by a text-to-speech software.

This fusion of human creativity and AI creates a unique atmosphere and invites deep reflection on the themes of spirituality, technology, and the relationship with AI. The album boldly explores the possibilities and limits of this interaction, offering a fascinating sonic and conceptual experience.

From this album, a concept of a new religion emerged, combining the sacred and AI technology. I have also written a 36-page book with Chat GPT outlining the main principles of the Belugian religion. Chat GPT has also invented an original language for the followers of "Belugianism."

With the addition of "The Buzzness" the Texas Tea playlist grows to 4 tracks now.  This one had been baking a while as Terry sent it over at the same time as Space Face.  This one didn't fall out of the sky for me like that one did, but we got it done and I'm happy to add this one to our growing list of collaborations.
