Random pseudo philosophical nonsense, as usual The Home Stretch I have finally loaded a new song. Another Modo collaboration with Mel Gargus and lead guitar from Al Perez. “Funky Dread” is just another straight ahead tale of a friendship going bad. I am going to write different lyrics out because they are a little more complex. Make my diamond shine You can throw away the lifeline What can take the place of, those little things you so love The nausea it comes and goes She told me, only a woman could know How it feels to lose yourself within So I’m floating in the water waiting for the end of the world. Living for each moment Becoming Misha McDonut Memorize what never applies Memorize the best lies I’ve always denied my gift of sight The Lord brought me crying into the light And just for a moment I felt it again Bound by one purpose wrapped by a single chain So I’m floating in the water waiting for the end of the world. This lyric is about nostalgia for the moment of birth. As one cynic said, the moment you emerge you begin the inexorable grind toward your demise. I am much more optimistic than that, but understand the reasoning. As another Modo song once said Life is short but the days drag on And waiting’s just too hard to swallow I’m a proud and stubborn man But just one kiss and I’ll follow. Or perhaps the Beatles with, “It’s a long and winding road, that leads to your door.” There as many ways to write it as people to say it. That’s why we tart it up in these allusions. If the lyric read, You’re born You fart around for a while You die It would be a pretty short and boring song…haha. Make the most of your summer everyone. And thanks for listening.
