I recorded some new songs! Check them out, if you so feel like.
I hope you like bad production value.
I re-recorded Song-A-Day #78, “And To The World, We Stay Purple.” I added more lyrics and gave it a fuller sound.
This song took on a more personal meaning after my dad passed away. Aside from the broad meaning of the song being about fixing the world’s general problems, this song is more personally about my final words with my father while he was on his deathbed.
LYRICS:
Well I’ve got this feeling
That someone I know
Is getting closer to dying
Time manifests in
Different ways
Counting down our every single breath
Heat rays
Spinning out of control
Enlacing you in a violent feeling of green
We’re all going to explode
If we don’t
Open the door
Come out in one piece
There’s no one to tell us that we failed
And there’s no one to say we’re lost
Let’s get off this heated breaking record
And I know
Sometimes
It’s easier to condemn than to think*
It’s funny how
It’s been flipped on its ear
The easy way out seems a lot harder now
The crusades to
Save the world
None have been faced with so much yellow
So hear me
While I’m afraid
That someone I know is dying
I’m aware
Of the shrinking
The shrinking of this sphere we push around
And we need to
Know where we stand
And to this world we need to stay purple
Promises were synthesized with a short life
If I can give anything, I want to in short time
I want change to go as quick as your life did
And I promised it would
I know we’re going to explode if we don’t
Hasten to open the door on this madness
It’s you who will know if I failed,
It’s you who will know if I’m lost
I’ll try my best to get us off this record

Lots of dinosaurs.
And unicorns, too.
