Liner Notes

OK, so super late to the #skirmish. This one needed to percolate. And perhaps it's still disconnected. I wandered around the house looking for ordinary things - the stained glass remembrance lamp, my smartphone, TV remote. Click, click, why are we on vertical hold? By then, the golden skirmish hour had evaporated. But...presented now for your approval #rock #fullproduction #protest

Lyrics

ORDINARY OBJECTS (c.2025 raspberry33)

VERSE 1:
The Remembrance lamp puts splotches on the wall
You approach, a ghost in the hall
As you turn, you’re luminescent and if I’m prescient
Your inner light says it all

V2: Click again for a change of scene
Broken dreams, outstanding warrants
Click again and someone wants to sell
Beautifully sparkling objects

CHORUS:
Who controls the horizontal?
Why are we stuck with vertical hold?
I have buttons on my phone and there’s AI always listening
Can’t they see us as more than consumers?

VERSE 3:
I click and the cloud will deliver
Whoever is now enraged
Did we trade a cow for a bean-stalk
And the let the dream fly the cage

V4: Click again for a change of scene
Did he say he’d give up sex for omelets
Click again someone wants to sell us
Beautiful sparkling objects

"Did we trade a cow for a bean-stalk" is a nice literary allusion in a lyric that feels like paranoia manifesting with a lot of truth behind it.
