This track, titled It Sang to Him, is the companion to The Sun Came Out Last Night.  It was actually recorded before The Sun Came Out Last Night during the FFS II Synth Jam 2015 - First Strike session on 01/01/15 but seems more fitting as a companion or reprise to the latter.  Again, the Ensoniq EPS is utilized quite extensively by layering sample after sample.  The sample, “He says the sun came out last night.  He says it sang to him.” is also used here.  I guess you can’t use a good sample too much.

The personnel on this track consists of Dave Chandler (aka Thee Sub One Genius) on Rhythmic Metronome and Matt Norcross (aka Ttam Troll) on Ensoniq EPS samples and Moog Minimoog bass drones.

We start off Floating Fish Studios Ttam Troll Plays Bass Week with one of my favorite early Any Questions? songs. This unrelenting aggressive track is full of angst about the human condition, a cynical view of society, and the youthful frustrations of trying to change it all. This song was written and recorded at Der Palast des Goldes in March 1990 and features two blistering bass solos.

After I wrote and sequenced the music for this track, MC2P4 joined me in the studio and we recorded several live takes with him adding keyboard accents and backing vocals as I screamed lead vocals and played live bass. The end result is a great mixture of cold synthesized sound with harsh human aggression that we've rarely matched since.

Rather than trying relay how I was feeling at the time I wrote the lyrics to this song, I'll simply share the words with you. My mental and emotional state will become quite apparent.

I'm living in waste
I try to break free
I'm trying to get out to make you see
This is not how life should be
Living in this sympathy

Follow me, talk to me
I'll try to show you the way
Follow me, talk to me
I'll try to show you the way
The way

I'm tired of this, I'm tired of this
I want to get away
I'm tired of this, I'm tired of this
Oh just go away

People always telling me
That I'm not OK
Living in their glass houses
Letting life slip by
Watching their bank accounts
Grow above their heads
Waiting for the day
Their spouse is dead
Is dead
Waiting for the day
Their spouse is dead
Is dead

Dead (repeat)

I guess I had some issues. Here's the track. Enjoy!
