I think I commented before on the lyric,--(which I like alot)- love the musical choices you've made here, the spoken word played as against the guitars really works well. great job all around, music and lyric!

Good critique of modern life in the West given a nice treatment here.

I’m doing what I never do and reading all the comments first! But I agree wholeheartedly - the points made are put really well and don’t come across as a diatribe of the ills of modern society more of an observation- and that is further brought out in the delivery ( great voice) . The guitar et noodling is fabulous. Great collab

I like how the delivery of the lyric really does feel like an exploration rather than a rant, like, wait, is this right. I love the crackling low-fi feel, which for me touches on the way that having technology raises expectations for perfection in ways that stink...And making music - the focus of the guitar feels like an antidote to all this stuff...

Well said. The steady guitar behind it all is good contrast to the rest of the composition. Nice.

@ttg105 - The crackle came in with one of the guitar effects and rather than root it out I left it alone. Also, what might sound like two lead guitars is just one with echo.

The guitars in unison with the crackle (intentional?) give this a weird, otherworldly sound. I agree 100% with the lyrics!

Yeah, so good, both the lyrics and the performance.

Love the guitars all going at once.

Great vocal performance.

Excellent points in the lyrics.

Nice collab, folks.

This sounds really nice Dan. Nice and simple. The guitar adds so much to the mix. Thank you so much for doing this! These lines here are based on ideas of the Dalai Lama. To pick up on what Bill said below, this is very much about the emptiness of much of modern western culture.

paradoxes... i dont think all of these apply to everybody, and most are specific to the first world. the guitar part is enticing, and the spoken words are well spoken.

Really good lyrics! now I listen: sounds like two people sitting on a patio. one in his rocking chair thinking loud about the state of the world. cool that you made it a spoken word tune. the guitar sounds like another one sitting in the back and playing to his words ... yes, I got a picture in my head of two old men sitting there reasoning about the world.
I like it!
