Wanderer Above The Sea Of Fog - draft

I got kidnapped by a pony 
there was something from the hassle that stayed with me: 
underwhelmed from overwhelm	
the violence in its teeth 

all parents are a sculpture of the same concept 
unceasing need for releases 

Alfred Nobel made the peace sign 
but he organized such bad parties 
I know everybody knows this 
but I still had to say it 
check off yesterday’s to do list: 
“yet again confirmed my sameness” 

everyone gets hurt 
you will be destroyed 
bonds will remain 
long past any purpose 
just inflaming 
links are chains 
they cannot be voided 
barely avoided 

life, violent 
life, violent 
life, violent 
life, violent

That Corporate Park Was A Beautiful Human Beehive (Part One And Two) [I Care If You Listen Version]

Ship's shot down and sinking fast
taste each breath, it might be your last
waters rising, the fastest i've seen
we're in an accidental submarine

We're all going down together, it seems
in our accidental submarine
by happenstance or some kind of machine
we've built an accidental submarine

I pledge allegiance
to the flag
of the united states of america
and to the rivets holding this tin can
one nation under water

We're all going down together, it seems
in our accidental submarine
by happenstance or some kind of machine
we've built an accidental submarine

(break filled by me singing scat in a slick manner)

We're all going down together, it seems
in our accidental submarine
by happenstance or some kind of machine
we've built an accidental submarine

indivisible, baby
Indivisible, Baby
INDIVISIBLE, BABY
we're all going down together

We're all going down together, it seems
in our accidental submarine
by happenstance or some kind of machine
we've built an accidental submarine

We're all going down, we're all going down
we're all going down together it seems
by happenstance or some kind of machine
we've built an accidental submarine

Accidental Submarine

I listen to all genres of music from all time periods. Every once in a while, the elements braid together and create something nearly indescribable and surprising where I am merely a passenger in their car. It feels like magic.

I created this song for my son on the event of his thirteenth birthday. I attempted meeting him where he is, acknowledging where he’s been and nodding to so many changes ahead. I am playing with contrasts. I wanted to include elements of songs from other artists which he shares with me, yet holding my own style.

The first half and the second half of the song are different in terms of quantization. While the core pocket is on the mark, several other elements are unquantized, making their component flitter off-beat and disjointed. The metaphor for this is the newness of being a kid and discovering things. It’s awkward but it is your normal: unpracticed and inexact. The change in beat represents rolling up your sleeves, making plans, and building structure of your life. The solo’s first long notes imply caution or fear, but give way to the celebratory and frenetic energy of discovery and exhilaration in finding what the world has to offer. Finally we return to a similar feel as in the beginning, but now all the tracks are quantized and tight, communicating the foundation of self, but now with more command and decisiveness. The end drifts off slowly, not representing an ending, but more like a natural rest before searching for the next challenge.

Oh, and a little trivia about this track is the duration is 5:53, which if you add the numbers together you get 13 !
