The Pepper Jelly and HNY samples make the majority of rhythm in this piece. The “Autista 3” sample is a little buried in the middle, where there is less percussion.
The guitars throughout are from guitar stems I recorded for textures, and not recorded while working on this project.
I come back over and over again to an idea of using sound samples, generated text, and synthesized voices to make deconstructed pop songs. I want to make them more "catchy" than these results, which sound more like someone trying to manually recreate AI song generation, lol
lyrics
Pretty they're sprayin' on the 6 o'clock news said,
"Somebody's been abused somebody blew up a hill"
That steep you can't pull roots when they run that
Deep he's gonna live and the air I breathe
If I was passin' by that you're not here
With me attitude she'll close a deal
She don't love you forever
I will take your hand beside you
Always I will rise from the ashes for
All that hurtin' was more than just one more time
Some say this way of life is done but not for my work
I knew this sixstring but things are different now
I remember standing in the woods take a little drive just to
Afraid to lay my life was just to clear my head
I saw a flashing neon up ahead
It looked like a mississippi hippie, she's
Never fooled around and let the walls of my rope...
And I saw a flashing neon up ahead,
and I saw a flashing neon up ahead
A bandit girl and that's all right
If I'm gonna step into the fire makin' this guitar
Six nights a week out here on
The hurting side of me
Truth is every man dies not every man lives
I wanna paint outside the lines and,
baby and it's past becomin' clear that:
I can feel the sting of the loneliness —
I can feel the sting of the loneliness
I can feel. The sting of the loneliness.
"Let’s glance back for an instant.
From the 1930s until the 1970s, the US were at the forefront of an ambitious set of policies aiming to reduce social inequalities. Partly to avoid any resemblance with Old Europe, seen then as extremely unequal and contrary to the American democratic spirit, in the inter-war years the country invented a highly progressive income and estate tax and set up levels of fiscal progressiveness never used on our side of the Atlantic.
From 1930 to 1980 – for half a century – the rate for the highest US income (over $1m per year) was on average 82%, with peaks of 91% from the 1940s to 1960s (from Roosevelt to Kennedy), and still as high as 70% during Reagan’s election in 1980."
