wednesday wallop #33 > just a glitch

this song features some rather aggressive sounds – many effects – and even a so called glitch or two…musically and metaphorically. Some of the thinking behind this tune is from oblique strategies – “abandon normal instruments” – just to see what would happen…and this is what happened. You might want to have a look at the oblique strategy link if you are a creative… and see if some of the concepts would assist you in your creative journey. Eno and co did these concepts originally for a more musical assist if I understand it right, but there are a lot if ideas there to spark the creative process. Anyway – for your listening pleasure just a glitch

just a glitch

well a long time ago in a place far away
in a little bitty city – well it seems like yesterday
there once was a girl with a flag unfurled
I felt pity and I felt a sway
she was moving toward something that I didn’t understand
but I knew that something wasn’t what I meant or planned
she said ok we go today
just you and me its a secret where we stay
I said oh my I don’t know
right where I am is where I wanna go
she looked with a glint in her cold red eye
and she said there something that I found a big surprise, she said

hey now ho now life is just a glitch
hey now ho now just move your mouse and switch

so I stared at the screen and the voices rang
I didn’t really want to be a part of this thing
I guess where her path would finally lead
pretty sure it never would have been a place for me
It was hard to imagine such a fine jpeg
had hell fire burning underneath her legs
and the way she swayed in her mpeg bliss
clearly seemed to imply that it wasn’t what to miss
but I was smarter than I guess they thought
I have a life with Christ been brought
I don’t wanna go put on that shame
so I clicked the red x and watched a football game

hey now ho now life is just a glitch
hey now ho now just move your mouse and switch
