wake up time [disquiet0247]

PROCESS My 66th(!) junto contribution was written and recorded on Monday evening 26 Sep 2016 while watching the 1st 2016 US Presidential debate (on mute, CSPAN only) with the project photograph (http://goo.gl/djQ31Y) in my field of vision on an iPad and a few glasses of Russian River Valley Pinot Noir in my bloodstream. This may be the most normie crossover americana country pop track EVER posted to the Junto, but I’ve embraced that side lately, perhaps as a contrarian move to a deep dive into the dark web and anonymity in the last year (as well as being the caretaker of a terminally ill dog). Acoustic and electric rhythm guitars and vocals are organic. Drums, bass, Hammond B3, pedal steel, and horn parts are built from samples looped in Acid (total ~60 tracks through 11 busses). If you think there's more than one human involved in this, I've done my job. > 3/4 waltz + rock, 148 bpm. > there are 27 figures in the graphic and the first verse has 27 words. couldn't hold myself to that in the 2nd verse, but all's forgiven. > mostly a back-door tribute to Tony Rice's version of A Song For Life, but not slavish in its ape. Enjoy life, fellow Junto-ers. Embrace melody and structure every once in a while. There's magic (and sanity) in the way a fifth and a third can play with each other. Our world is fucked from here on forward, but fuck it. :^D LYRICS Sing a song for life in the morning As the sunrise waltzes through leaves Let all the anger and pain And destructive refrains Dissolve into your dreams Maybe we’ll wake up It's time we wake up Maybe we’ll wake up Wake up time The first thing you see before you open your eyes Is the truest reflection of you One day the first thing we’ll know is a sunrise so slow And a world renewed PROJECT More on this 247th weekly Disquiet Junto project — “Interpret as a graphic score an illustration drawn upon waking by Lark Pien” — at: http://disquiet.com/0247/ More on the Disquiet Junto at: http://disquiet.com/junto/ Subscribe to project announcements here: http://tinyletter.com/disquiet-junto/ Project discussion takes place on llllllll.co: http://llllllll.co/t/a-cartoon-graphic-score-disquiet-junto-project-0247/4647 There’s also on a Junto Slack.
