The Gardens Of Life

Satellite./ The Gardens  Of Life/ A Forest Of Fear

Hopefully this will help the hot summertime blues.
My childhood fantasy of a broken down ice cream truck having to give away all the ice cream. Chaos begins.
Lyrics:
We loved our ice cream in the Summertime
All the neighborhood kids
With their nickels and dimes
You can hear him down the block
That crazy fun house chime
He calls himself
"The Good Humor Man"
I don't know why
His face looks like he's a victim of crime

Sad
Man 
Ice cream 
Truck
Your truck is overheating and now you are stuck
That ice cream's melting
Give it to us?
Sad man ice cream truck
Sad man ice cream truck
Oh that ice cream is melting
And he's giving it to us!
Sad man ice cream truck

 Oh there's about 150 kids
I've seen kids (not from around here)
From far away as 5th Avenue 
And Columbus Circle
We want our Drumsticks!
Firecrackers!
And the Popsicles!
That turn your lips purple

Sad
Man 
Ice cream 
Truck
Your trucks is overheating 
Now you are stuck
Sad man ice cream truck
All that ice cream is melting
And he's giving it to us!
Sad man ice cream truck

All this ice cream
It's all for free!
Well, can't you see?
It's a price that can't be beat
In the summer heat
The kids over eat
Now there are kids over there
Puking in the street!
The cops come and bust up the fuss
Oh ice cream man you're a hero to us

Sad man ice cream truck
Your truck is overheating and now you are stuck
Sad man ice cream truck...

I don't exactly know why I've been on such a cover streak lately, although, I suspect laziness is at least a significant suspect. Anyway, I like to pick things that are either significant to me in some way, a stretch or can be stretched into something else, or something out of my box. This one crept in to my world through some mention in the NYTimes. If I remember correctly it was positive. I looked for something different to cover the other day and typed in current hits and recognized this. I decided to do a fairly straight up cover and let my own style come in by just doing it fairly straight. Here's a few comments on the piece that came to mind as I was doing it:

Like most pop music these days it's one chord progression repeated over and over with the parts separated by different melodies and arraignments.

Ms. Carpenter's lyrics are kind of strange to me ie. "That's that me espresso". She does some interesting things rhythmically with her vocals so they don't sound awkward but reading them as I sung and  getting her phrasing down was a challenge. Also as a side note, it's interesting how the theme of taking advantage of the opposite sex is seen in pop music differently between males and females. One of her better lines "I know I Mountain Dew it for ya" is I think quite clever, cheeky and funny but probably would less likely be a line in a summer light pop hit from a male singer.

This is less about the music itself but the conceptual framing. I like the concept in the beginning and the end of turning the song into an old classic hit playing on the radio in the background, perhaps at the beach. It's nostalgic in the context of the song itself but also hearing actual music, playing in the background through a small cheap radio, while sitting on the beach is itself a bit of nostalgia. 

As a side note, I learned the track by listening to the YouTube video. I as I was listening I was reading many of the comments from Ms. Carpenter's much younger(than me) fans. The song, in my opinion is a fairly obvious combination of 70's Disco, 90's girl pop and a modern pop sheen. I was surprised by comments placing the song as homage to 60's or 80's pop. Probably just youthful ignorance but.
 if there's something more to it, I'm interested.

Lyrics to follow... They are to follow because they are written on page... not chat gpt... This is a great reason to switch back to or start using pen. All that thinking time isnt at a screen. Its at a tree... your page. Much healthier. And you write! not type... I love it anyways... lost it for a bit but back in force like it should be fur moi



Lyrics

Get in the Greek.
I'm Milo of Croton
Best rap ever
Got Gorda the Spartan
We've met what's to meet
Deep dive in instance
'Might make you weep
Good tears,
No resistence
The king of the jungle
To the musical pistons
Explosions in cylinders
Pure Earths' resistence
Dark to Light bliss
It's on...
We don't miss
Hear the Universe.... Hisssssssss

King is coming with the fix
'Got those Jungle tricks
Wax lyrical rap rolling hysterical
From Greece to peace to love to feast
Who's coming? Hear to mix!
This heart... You can lease
Wax lyrical rap rolling hysterical
King is coming with the fix

No hill too steep
Who's stealing our sun shine?
This chest hath ever long love lines
To the moon in mind
We orbit ordinance of kind
As we observe
See what you might find

The King is coming with the fix
'Got those Jungle tricks
Wax lyrical rap rolling hysterical
From Greece to peace to love to feast
Who's coming? Hear to mix!
This heart... You can lease
Wax lyrical rap rolling hysterical
King is coming with the fix



To TKJ.. I know this is random. But look the universe and our existence is random. Apparently most Jupiter's end up right beside their star. So our Goldie locks zone for a rocky planet is a fluke... Your Mums started this so blame Eli... a song for your folks and a rap song for you. I'll zip it now. Just wanted to mark well the light your family shows the world. Derren Brown taught me... Associate two things with anything and you remember it forever... Well.. now people have two songs to spell out your light and hopefully it helps more people enjoy more of that on this super sonic planet. Keep creating man. That's where we evolve... I'll let you find this when you're meant to if ever. I won't poke you 🔆 Everything happens when it's meant to... 

Good luck with your album. You'll do great man 👍🏽 I'll help you spread it here 🥳
