The lyrics to this song were inspired last night after reading an article about implantable micro-chips. Those pursuing the effort say they're doing it to improve humanity...just like those seeking globalization. The chord progression is basic, but the full distortion sound lays a nice backdrop for the 2 electric guitar picking parts. I tried to keep the song fresh with the bass line (bounces, walks and slides), and I tried to keep it moving with the multiple drum loops (built to grow with the song). The vocal melody is strange, but so is the album artwork for this week's album, Low Hum (I used an actual photo that I took in a recent dream).
LYRICS: "We know you're un-happy. We can lighten your grief with a fast, small, shiny implantable treat. We can track you in 'real-time' to follow your needs. We'll sew technology in you. Upgradable relief. Swipe it when you need some electronic heaven. We get the genie, you get his bottle to live in. Generation 'Chip,' we found your leash. Too short to run from. Too small to see."
By the way, today begins a new month. I've decided to evaluate certain aspects of this project on a monthly basis...so, if you're interested, here are a few facts. The first month of this project produced 608 unique individual visitors to the website. Also, the average song took about 6 hours to write, record, mix and post online. The live video (which I'm making plans to improve) had 168 unique viewers...anywhere from 2-8 viewers per day. It will be interesting to see if (and how) these numbers change over time. If you contributed to the numbers above, then thanks for the support.
Starting today (and lasting through August) I am giving away each song FREE. If you haven't already, send me your email address so I can add you to the list.
