OCCUPY 0112
It's a highland I call my land
It's an island in the sun
No matter how you measure it
It's always number one
If I had a house to occupy
I'd occupy my wish
But to have a house to occupy
I must defy the rich

Traditional song with an electronic arrangement. I don't have autotune so some of the notes are a bit wobbly sometimes. I rewrote the lyrics because I don't know the original verses.

I'm having so much fun listening to this! It reminds me of Beck's album, Midnite Vultures, with some Lord Of The Rings thrown in...
This is a SOLID groove!! Wow, and beautifully produced... Thanks for being talented, too!!!
This has some honest soulfulness coming through the vocals...
Great message... Also, the style of the music fits the spirit of what's being sun... Awesome!
This is brilliant!! At first I was like, WTF?? But it grew on me very quickly... Deconstruction with style!!!
Wow, this is like TRON armageddon...
This is a really good song... The mix is very different from what my ears have been conditioned to hear... Though it's growing on me!
I love your artist name! I have tried to get the big-business mucks to sue me as well, to no avail!!
Very touching!! I'm certain seeds are being planted in my soul as I listen...
Very interesting cover... Is it scarboro fair-trade? ;^D
Someone plays guitar like George Harrison!! It's beautiful...
Hilarious!! This is Mellow Gold incarnate!!!
RAW!!!
Wow, so much is communicated through those vocal chords!! Thanks for writing honest songs...
