Notes written in codes and
Slivers of documentations
Line the walls
Ecstatic murmurs
Heave up
From the subfloor
Through a door outside
Rats scurry
Behind dumpsters
An unpruned rose bush
Fragrant and sharp
Bursts blooming
Youths sing nonsense
Under the elm tree
At the far end of the yard
CEOs dance naked on
A picnic table
Covered in silk
Sneak attacks
Convert wallets
Into fungus
Meanwhile
A joyous sound
Of connection rises
A click and a snap
Hands pull
From your pocket
In the street
Between car crashes
People lose their jobs
Couples coo
As unlikely deals
Come together in a heartbeat
Finally the edge
Beyond -
The explanation
all copyright, etc.

Seems like a good topic, and my little red electric guitar wanted to have fun.

Fabulously odd guitar riffs and weird lyrics ... what's not to like? Love "CEOs dance naked on a picnic table" and "convert wallets into fungus." Nice percussion and keyboards, as well.

The title is a fabulous hook. I really enjoyed the journey, lyrics packed with imagery and atmosphere, CEOs dancing naked on picnic tables, people losing jobs between car crashes. Puts me in mind of Dr John and Tom Waits but very much your own thing!

The sound of the drums
offers the bed
for bass and guitar
Your voice
guiding us securely
through the apocalypse

Sonically this is AMAZING. The textures between the breathy vocal, the clacking percussion, the singing of the electric guitar all work together in a stellar way. Love “fragrant and sharp.” I loved every second of this journey.

The vocal delivery on this track is so so so good. Really interesting concept too. The bass chords were a really nice touch; they really drove the song forward into its second half. Great work!
