about

Last month I found out that I still have markers for Lyme disease. I was prescribed antibiotics, and when I began taking them, it hurt. A lot. Living with various mental, physical, and neurological problems has not only impacted my daily life but shown me how badly the world fails to take care of the people who need help the most.

I took musical inspiration from Takako Minekawa's song "1.666666", which is the theme song for Hal Hartley's film The Book of Life, about the apocalypse taking place on the last day of 1999. This is probably my cleanest and most technically accomplished song yet. I'm quite proud of how it turned out.

lyrics

The other day I took a pill that set my body on fire.
It will burn away my impurities and wrap me round with wire,
plug myself into the mainframe, zap out all the pain,
electrocute the tiny bugs that eat holes in my brain,
and if i will not understand my somatic mystery rites,
the only thing that keeps me alive is continuing to fight,
so take my hand and walk again, the fog will soon abide.
There's nothing much that we can do so let's go take a ride.

Let's go, let's go, L-E-T-S-G-O.
Let's go, let's go, L-E-T-S-G-O.
Nothing here is set in stone:
the blood rite might be overthrown.
Let's go, let's go, L-E-T-S-G-O.
Let's go, let's go, L-E-T-S-G-O.
Nothing here is set in stone:
the blood rite will be overthrown.

The way it goes can't be the same since I set my body on fire;
now it's a discordant harmony like a polyphonic choir.
I can't say if I'll live or die so let me simply be.
Who woulda thought we'd be stronger if we lived our lives more free?
I wanna make a melody that rings throughout the world,
I wanna speak twelve languages and kiss some pretty girls (and boys),
and if I have to conquer just to do the things I love
then wait until the fire comes a-raining from above.

Simple Answers
by Charlie Looker

One of the most vital albums of recent memory: an in-depth and personal look at fascism incorporating orchestral and electronic arrangement. Almost horror-music. Rose with Teeth
