TIN PAN ALLEY! This is easily my favorite genre - these arrangements are so fun...
 
What an absolutely bizarre piece of art to come out of this entry from 8 years ago. Believe it or not? This is the result of being exhausted with Fastest Delorean and our country's inability to deal with Trump. I just accepted that the country was done (man I had no idea just how done it would be - wow) and we're never truly returning from this becuase we couldn't actually handle impeachable offenses anymore. Without a functioning press, the entire democracy withers. And looking ahead of course, we couldn't even deal with him as a CITIZEN. Like, we're done. And all of it is because we have no basis of fact anymore. It's unreal. And somehow, that sentiment? Makes this song...
 
 
How bizarre right? I love this song, I love that it exists. It's obviously not a great song, but it's just a feel and moment that now gets proper treatment and it's just fun as fuck to get to play this with that backing. I want to do a show of this music, so, so, so, badly. I think I want it more than I've ever wanted something. Like suddenly remembering "oh yeah, you're a piano player" - and <gasp> you could get better! And actually work on technique and really get good... suddenly that's SO exciting to me. I'm just so happy. It's wild how much this project has changed me.
 
All thanks to the Raiders and the summer of my discontent. Incredible.
