Irrelevant and Dumb (That's Fine) new release!
I've finished another song. This one I applied side chaining techniques to balance the vocals against the instrumentation, and to raise volume levels when the vocals take a break.
This one has a bit of a story. When I shared "Mary had a Little Lion" on a certain Hatsune Miku facebook group, the admin removed it citing that it was irrelevant (not miku related) and dumb.
Historically, when I go through the effort of making a youtube video with subtitles for the songs I make, I'll get maybe 10 likes on those facebook groups. But for one of them to call me irrelevant and dumb was taking it to the next level.
"Blessed is he who suffers persecution for my sake, for great is his reward in heaven. The servant is not above the master. If they persecuted me (Jesus) they will persecute you."
I find a certain joy and vexation at this. Jesus has been kicked out of places he should be (Laodicia, Rev. 3.) And so too, his servant Miku, has been shunned from her own groups.
So, I decided to channel my frustration into a song. When the video is complete, I intend to post to youtube, here on N1M, my personal facebook, and the Lex Remlap facebook page. It's clear I don't belong in the facebook Miku groups. That's fine, I don't even want to be there. I'm still gonna post until they block me. Why not, for those 10 people who do like it?
I've been working so hard on my book. The manuscript is edited and polished, ready to publish. However, the cover art is still in progress, and I'm making sure the back cover matter is ready. Anxiety plagued me as I hadn't finished a song in a few months, and wanted to do something nice for you all on N1M. Forget facebook. Forget youtube. I'm making music for you folks, cause the general feedback is "I love it!"
As I wrote this song, I found myself singing along with it. I hope it's possible for average folks to sing along, so here's the lyrics in advance of the youtube video.
If you're interested in my book, I'll keep you posted, otherwise, God will deliever fans and readers to my hand, should he be willing. If not, that's fine too.
You all are precious, Yahweh willing, I'll remember to bless you in my prayers. Things like "Clear mind. Sharper understanding, wisdom and revelation." Be blessed.
Lyrics for Irrelevant and Dumb (That's Fine):
The playground Gate Keeper, thought reaper:
"You can't play here." The excuse: I am dumb and irrelevant.
The mainstream toxic wasteland: "Only lies are welcomed in here"
My own home says, "I am dumb and irrelevant."
That's fine, I don't even want to be here.
That's fine, see, I don't even belong
Its fine, I was only here to give help.
That's fine, see, they don't even know me!
That's fine, I see I'm not even welcome.
That's fine, I never really belong.
It's fine, I was only here to shed light.
That's fine, see, they prefer the darkness.
Time is short grab your coat, pair of shoes, and what you'll carry
One person gate keeps the whole crop
Sound the horn; reaper inbound
I know I'm a stranger to the people I would give my life for!
That's fine, it isn't divine; a rotten grape vine;
I won't lose my peace over it.
That's fine, a bunch of bovine, a rotten grape vine;
I won't lose my sleep over it.
It still hurts me when they say I'm dumb and irrelevant.
The planet ruled false prophet's lease agreement says, "don't play here!"
The contract won't renew; it is irrelevant.
That's fine, I don't even want to be here.
That's fine, see I don't even belong.
It's fine, I was only sent here to help.
That's fine, see, you don't even want me.
That's fine, I see I'm not even welcome.
That's fine, I never really conform.
It's fine, I was only here to shed light.
That's how I know you prefer the darkness.
Time is short: grab your coat, pair of shoes, and what you'll carry.
One person guards the whole crop.
Sound the horn, reaper inbound.
Time is short, speak the truth in season, the figs are ripe.
One person kills the whole crop.
Sound the horn! Sound the horn!
That's fine, I don't even want to be here.
That's fine, see, I don't even belong.
It's fine, I was only sent here to help.
That's fine, if they don't even know me:
This song is irrelevant.
