about

for Christmas this year, I got an entry-level MIDI controller, so I've been playing with synths and such. This track was largely a "learn how to use the tools" experiment, and the lyrics/content was an afterthought - it was mostly about the organ/drum track, but it really found the groove when I started fiddling with the bass, which led to my shameless David Gilmour impression on the guitar.

Lyrics? again, politically motivated, and likely out of date by the time you read this.

lyrics

climb down off that throne
you're on your own
with those strange opinions

there's no conspiracy
no coming tyranny
sometimes a storm's just weather

--

You're digging in the dirt
it's going to hurt
when you hit the bottom

There's nothing there to find
why can't you clear your mind
of this prophetic nonsense

--

Things rarely go as planned
you've got to understand
that some prankster's having you on

it's just an echo chamber
i fear you're in danger
of saying something you can't take back

---

Wish you'd come back to me
why can't you see
that people love you out there

Please try to clear your head
it's all discredited
The world keeps moving on

Q.....it ain't true.....
